Definitions

  • the following invention refers to a catheter for intrauterine insemination. It is preferably useful for intrauterine insemination of pigs, in such a way that the catheter is defined by a unitary element comprised of an elongated tube-shaped body provided in one of its ends, specifically the end to be introduced into the reproductive system of the animal, with a rounded surface body provided with a hole as an elongation of the axial hole of the tube-shaped body.
  • the catheter that is described has as the main novelty the fact that it is a catheter for intrauterine insemination defined by a unitary element by means of which access to the body and/or uterine horns is achieved, for the purpose of depositing the insemination dose in said place.
  • the present catheter for intrauterine insemination is useful for artificial insemination of very different animal species, and, thus, it is useful for insemination of sheep, cattle, horses, etc. and is especially useful for pigs.
  • the systems for intrauterine insemination of pigs that exist on the market are characterized in that they are comprised of two parts: a guiding catheter and a flexible or semi-rigid probe.
  • the guiding catheter is commonly defined by a tube-shaped body provided in one of its ends, with a generally conical or cylindrical-shaped body provided with an axial hole as an extension of the axial hole of the tube-shaped body which is inserted in the genital tract of the animal.
  • the purpose of the guiding catheter is to find the external cervical hole, inserting itself through it and attaching to the caudal part of the cervix.
  • the different types of flexible or semi-rigid probes are inserted through the internal hole of the guiding catheter in such a way that they project into the lumen of the cervix in its middle part, so that from there, and by means of the propelling force that is exerted from the outside, they are capable of passing through the rest of said structure up to the uterine body and/or horns.
  • the present specification describes a catheter for intrauterine insemination, preferably useful for intrauterine insemination of pigs, in such a way that the catheter for intrauterine insemination is defined by a unitary element comprised of an elongated tube-shaped body provided in one of its ends, specifically, the end to be inserted into the reproductive system of the animal, with a rounded surface body provided with a hole as an extension of the axial hole of the tube-shaped body.
  • the catheter for intrauterine insemination has suitable rigidity in order to have access, through the end provided with a rounded surface body, to the uterine body and/or horns, for the purpose of depositing the insemination dose in said place.
  • a catheter for intrauterine insemination comprised of a single part, which entails economic advantages, since, the materials that it is made of, are logically cheaper than those of a conventional guiding catheter and corresponding probe. Besides, the catheter is also simpler to manufacture and this in turn affects the production cost thereof, and, consequently, the final price of the catheter.
  • the catheter for intrauterine insemination is comprised of a single part, the process involved in intrauterine insemination of pigs is simplified, since, in a single act the place where the insemination dose is to be deposited is reached. In turn, this involves a saving of time used for this activity.
  • the catheter (1) for intrauterine insemination is defined by a unitary element comprised of an elongated tube-shaped body (2) provided in one of its ends, specifically the end to be introduced in the reproductive system of the animal, with a rounded shape body (3) provided with a hole (4) as an extension of the axial hole (5) of the tube-shaped body (2).
  • the rounded surface body (3) may be defined by different shapes, and, in this way, it may be defined by a generally spherical-shaped, oval-shaped body or one of any other shape that has a rounded surface to facilitate insertion thereof into the reproductive system of the animal.
  • the catheter (1) for intrauterine insemination has suitable rigidity in order to have access, through the end provided with a rounded surface body (3), to the uterine body and/or horns, for the purpose of depositing the insemination dose in said place.
  • the catheter (1) for intrauterine insemination comprised of a single part, which entails economic advantages, since, the materials that it is made of, are logically cheaper, and the manufacturing thereof is also simpler. This affects the production cost of the catheter, and, consequently, the final price thereof.
  • the catheter (1) for intrauterine insemination has the added advantage that since it is comprised of a single part, the process for intrauterine insemination of pigs is simplified, since, in a single act, one manages to reach the place to deposit the insemination dose, which in turn involves a saving in the time used for this activity.
  • the catheter (1) for intrauterine insemination is useful to carry out intrauterine insemination in different animal species, and, thus, it is especially applicable to pigs. It is also applicable to sheep, horses, cattle and the like.
