Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a seed conditioning bag animal and uterine treatment.
  • the present invention also relates to a insemination device for animals.
  • the bag can be used in particular for the conditioning of semen porcine and equine species, but also other species such as rhinoceros.
  • the sachet for conditioning liquid substances for insemination artificial animal according to FR-B-2 667 504 consists of two sheets of material thermoplastic welded by a weld seam delimiting a pocket, following a closed layout of rectangular general shape defining two short sides and two long sides when the bag is empty, and one of said small sides has a interruption, the weld bead determining from said interruption a filling duct.
  • the bags described in this reference allow filling rapid volumetric, protected from air and contaminations, as well as the coupling before insemination of the bag and the insemination tube or the insemination probe with a reliably maintained and maintained seal and a natural dump of the complete bag away from air and contaminations, provided that their opening be practiced correctly.
  • difficulties related to the opening of the bags are frequently encountered which pose problems during their use.
  • sachet which comprises a conduit of usually extended filling by an introducer and centering cone, to recover or empty its contents, an opening is made in the bag at the location of said conduit, and inserting the free end of a probe or a tube in the opening practiced.
  • sachet said "peelable bag", described in FR 2,750,399, which can be opened in a simple manner and reliable, without having to use any tool or object.
  • This type of sachet is particularly well adapted to contain in particular animal semen and meets growing success.
  • a bag of this type consisting of two sheets of thermoplastic material delimiting a generally shaped pouch rectangular and each of the short sides has an interruption with the cord of welding which determines, starting from this interruption, a pipe, respectively filling and racking.
  • Each of the filling and racking ducts is at constant diameter and extends on the outer side of the bag by a flare whose diameter increases from that of the conduit that it extends.
  • WO 02/22044 which is part of the state of the art within the meaning of Article 54 (3) EPC, describes a packaging bag of a liquid biological substance, such as animal semen, which consists of two plastic walls contiguous to delimit a receiving pocket of said substance and, communicating with this pocket, a dump conduit in which is fitted a cannula whose two ends are open, a first end of the cannula being able to communicate with the bag of the bag while the second end of this cannula has a narrowing section, shape frustoconical or approximately frustoconical.
  • the second end of the cannula is located in the vicinity of an end portion of the duct which is, in the absence of opening of the bag, closed by the contiguous walls of it.
  • the withdrawal duct communicates with at least one non far from the terminal part, in which the two walls are not contiguous.
  • Patent EP-B-0 189 702 of the Applicant covers a telescopic gynecological probe for insemination artificial animals such as pigs, consisting of an outer protective sheath serving as a sleeve for a telescopic seed transfer line, capable of to move axially relative to the sheath.
  • the sheath has a mouthpiece protrusion through the transfer conduit.
  • the end of the opposite transfer line at the tip is intended to be connected to a seed bank such as a flexible pouch provided with a flexible connection tip to the conduit of transfer.
  • the present invention aims to make such a bag and such a device telescopic insemination particularly suitable for use with each other.
  • the withdrawal pipe of the bag according to the invention can be described as two-stage.
  • Such a bag leads in particular to an improved accuracy in the insemination operations using a telescopic device and allows to connect each of the two tubes of different diameter of the telescopic device, namely the protective sheath and the transfer duct to the bag duct.
  • a stop is located at the end of the part having the largest diameter, said protective sheath being adapted to come against this stop.
  • the bag withdrawal duct is determined by a weld bead from the interruption in said other small side.
  • At least one of the two sheets of thermoplastic material of the bag of the invention has in the draw zone a zone of peelability.
  • the peelable zone comprises, for example, a sealing material and peel, like a wax.
  • the withdrawal pipe may be extended by a flare, but this is not not mandatory.
  • the two sheets of thermoplastic material advantageously have a offset from each other in the draw zone, for example about 2 to 3 mm.
  • FIG. 1 is a view of the device assembly of insemination connected to a sachet for the conditioning of liquid substances for animal artificial insemination adapted for use with a device telescopic insemination.
  • FIG. 1 represents an animal seed conditioning bag 11, associated with a telescopic insemination device 1.
  • the bag 11 consists of two sheets of thermoplastic material welded by a weld bead 13 delimiting a pocket 12, following a path closed rectangular general shape with rounded corners defining two small sides and two long sides when the bag is empty, in which one of said small sides has an interruption 10a, the weld bead determining from said interruption a filling conduit 14 and defining in said sheets of thermoplastic material a filling zone 15, and wherein the other of said small sides has an interruption 10b, the weld bead determining in starting from said interruption a withdrawal duct 16 and defining in said sheets of thermoplastic material a withdrawal zone 17.
  • the withdrawal duct 16 has two diameters different, D1 and D2, whose smallest D1 is on the inside of the bag.
  • a device 1 for telescopic artificial insemination is connected to the bag 11 of the invention.
  • the device 1 artificial insemination which is according to the patent of the Applicant EP-B-0 189 702, comprises a probe whose probe body is consisting of an outer protective sheath 2 serving as a sheath to a conduit 3 of transfer of substance liable to move axially with respect to said sheath therein and carrying an element consisting of a spherical head 7 provided with at least one lateral discharge orifice 8.
  • the sheath comprises a nozzle 6 projection consisting of a flexible foam pad traversed by the telescopic duct 3.
  • the outer protective sheath 2 is crimped tightly and engaged in the bi-stage withdrawal duct 16 and abuts at 4 at the end of the duct portion 16 with the largest diameter D2.
  • This positioning ensures the maintenance of the desired length of the end of the telescopic duct 3 beyond the flexible foam pad 6 of the probe, itself placed in the cervix of the animal.
  • the telescopic transfer duct 3 is also crimped tightly in the two-stage racking duct 16 and is positioned at the end 5 of the part of the withdrawal duct 16 having the smallest diameter D1.
  • the flexible foam pad 6 and the spherical head 7 of the duct telescopic 3 are perfectly positioned during insemination even if the female moves.
  • one of the two sheets of material thermoplastic has in the draw part a zone of peelability 18 and the extraction duct is extended by a flaring 19. Flaring 19 is defined in FIG. less in part in the peel zone. Moreover, as represented by a line interrupted 20, the two plastic sheets have a shift, one for each compared to the other, along the edge of the draw zone 17.
