RU215809U1 - Device for fixation of limbs in small animals - Google Patents

Abstract

The utility model relates to veterinary medicine, in particular to devices for fixing the limbs of small domestic animals, and can be used during the provision of medical care, grooming and other manipulations with the animal. The device contains a flexible element with loops at its ends and a loop on the body of the flexible element, latches, both loops are made sliding, and both ends with sliding loops are connected by one latch. The loop on the body of the flexible element is made equidistant from its ends, while on both sides of the loop on its branches textile fasteners are fixed with the possibility of free movement along them, and on both sides of the fastening of the textile fasteners there are fixators of their free movement.

Description

The utility model relates to veterinary medicine, in particular to devices for fixing the limbs of small domestic animals, and can be used during the provision of medical care, grooming and other manipulations with the animal.

A device for fixing animals containing a flexible element (rope or braid) with a fixed loop at one of its ends (SU 1443877, 12/15/1988) is known. The disadvantage of this device is that it is complex in design and cumbersome in execution.

The closest in its technical essence is a device for fixing limbs in small animals, including a flexible element with a loop at one of its ends and a loop on the body of the flexible element, clamps (RU 2118516, 10.09.1998).

The disadvantages of this device include the impossibility of its use for fixing the forelimbs due to their anatomical and physiological features, as well as painful compression of the tendons, low reliability and insufficient safety, and in small animals, fixation with a metal cable can injure the limbs.

The objective of the utility model is to develop a device that is convenient, lightweight, both for use in veterinary clinics and at home, if necessary, to securely fix the animal's limbs.

The present problem is solved by the fact that a device for fixing limbs in small animals, including a flexible element with a loop at one of its ends and a loop on the body of the flexible element, clamps, additionally contains a second loop at the other end of the flexible element, both loops are made sliding, and both the ends with sliding loops are connected by one latch, the loop on the body of the flexible element is made equidistant from its ends, while on both sides of the loop on its branches textile fasteners are fixed with the possibility of free movement along them, and on both sides of the fastening of textile fasteners and fasteners of their free move.

At the same time, the attachments allow you to release any of the limbs for intravenous injections, blood sampling (Fig. 3), treatment of postoperative and accidental wounds, hygiene and other medical or preventive procedures, and the remaining limbs at this time will be securely fixed.

The technical essence of this utility model lies in the safety of injury due to the implementation of the entire structure of soft textile materials and allows you to fix the limbs of the animal in any sequence

Characterized by the fact that it allows you to fix the limbs of the animal in various ways, both together and separately, it allows you to provide free access to the entire body of the animal. The free movement of the clamps along the braid allows one limb to be released for manipulation, and the remaining limbs to be securely fixed to each other. The pelvic limbs are fixed with sliding loops, which prevents the loop from slipping off the hock joint when the animal tries to free itself. The chest limbs are fixed with a belt band with textile fasteners threaded through a plastic frame, allowing you to adjust the girth of the limb depending on its diameter. Spring clips allow you to adjust the size of the device depending on the size of the animal.

The authors propose to provide autonomous fixation of limbs to limit their mobility, which allows access to any parts of the animal's body, regardless of the size of the animal itself, which eliminates injuries to humans and animals during the procedures.

In FIG. 1 shows a general view of the device.

In FIG. 2 photos of a dog with fixed outstretched limbs.

In FIG. 3 photos of a dog with fixed tucked limbs.

In FIG. 4 photos of a cat with one limb fixed.

The device consists of a flexible element 1 with a sliding loop 2 at one of its ends and a sliding loop 3 at the other end; braid 7, made with the possibility of free movement of the ends with double-slit frames 8 along the flexible element 1, clamps 9 of the free movement of double-slotted frames, placed on textile clips 6. On the flexible element 1 there is a clamp 10 of the length of the ends with sliding loops 2 and 3.

Fixation technique using the proposed device (Fig. 1):

The flexible element 1 is put on by sliding loops 2 and 3 over the metatarsal joints of the pelvic limbs of the animal and tightens them. Braid 7 with a textile clasp 6 is threaded through a two-slit frame 8 and tightened on the pasterns. With the help of clamps 9 and 10, the necessary position is given to the free limbs, which are fixed in pairs, all together or separately. By pulling and fixing the loop 4 with the latch 5.

The proposed device has a number of advantages, among them the following:

- the possibility of autonomous fixation of limbs to limit their mobility, providing access to the body of the animal, providing reliable fixation and excluding injuries to humans and animals;

- due to the length of the braid and spring clamps, it allows you to adjust the size of the clamp to the required size of the animal.

- allows you to fix all the limbs together, in pairs, or separately, due to spring clips and braid with a textile fastener.

- allows, if necessary, to release any limb during intravenous injections, blood sampling (Fig. 3), treatment of postoperative and accidental wounds, hygiene and other medical or preventive procedures, while all other limbs will be securely fixed.

- compact, made of easily washable, widely available inexpensive materials.

It is recommended to administer a neuroleptic before fixation in excitable and aggressive animals.

The device was tested on domestic cats and dogs at the Educational Research Center of the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine of the Federal State Budgetary Educational Institution of Higher Education "Altai State Agrarian University", its effectiveness was confirmed through veterinary examinations, hygienic, therapeutic and preventive procedures, as well as necessary surgical interventions (Fig. 2 and Fig. 3 ).
