RU223558U1 - Electroejaculation device for small pets - Google Patents

Abstract

The utility model relates to veterinary obstetrics, to selection in the field of veterinary medicine. The technical result consists in an effective and safe for the animal method of obtaining semen through electrical stimulation on the nerve plexuses of the external genitalia and neuromuscular spindles of the pelvic region, increasing the intensity of sensory and motor innervation, which together initiates the ejaculatory process from the erection phase to the expulsion of the semen. The purpose of the creation is to develop a method of safe and effective electroejaculation for small pets. An electroejaculation device for small pets is characterized by having a cone-shaped case made of plastic; in this case, 4 pairs of wires with electrodes extend from the device, affecting the cavernous nerves bilaterally and affecting the femoral-genital nerve plexuses of the pelvic muscles; silicone pads with a vibrating element are attached to the body in a single cone-shaped design of the case; at the end of the cone-shaped structure of the cover there is a plastic container for collecting semen with a volume of 5 ml; in this case, the current strength and vibrations are controlled through the control panel, which is a power supply unit, powered by a replaceable battery.

Description

The utility model relates to veterinary obstetrics, to selection in the field of veterinary medicine.

The technical result consists in an effective and safe for the animal method of obtaining semen through electrical stimulation on the nerve plexuses of the external genitalia and neuromuscular spindles of the pelvic region, increasing the intensity of sensory and motor innervation, which together initiates the ejaculatory process from the erection phase to the expulsion of the semen.

The purpose of the creation is to develop a method of safe and effective electroejaculation for small pets.

The inventive device for extracorporeal electroejaculation will replace the use of rectal electrical stimulation probes and will also eliminate the occurrence of pain in animals characteristic of this procedure. The main feature of the device being developed is transcutaneous stimulation of the nerves of the external genitalia of males and the pelvic region with electrical parameters that are comfortable for the animal, as well as the local use of vibrating elements to accelerate the achievement of ejaculation. Also, in comparison with analogues, the advantage for the end consumer is simplicity and ease of use. Currently available methods require lengthy training of male farm and domestic animals in the correct technique for performing the procedure, which can take up to two weeks. A veterinarian does not have such time in urgent situations when the animal is critically ill and there is a need to preserve genetic material for the reproduction of a valuable breed. Moreover, in some animals (for example, dogs), the use of currently available instrumental methods for obtaining semen is impossible. Due to the design of the working surface, which takes into account the anatomical and physiological characteristics of animals, all of the listed aspects of reproductive medicine are consolidated in one device.

The closest analogues are devices for rectal electroejaculation:

– “Electrojac V” [1];

– “Electrojac IV” [2];

– “Lane Pulsator” devices [3].

All these devices have a significant drawback, namely the occurrence of pain when inserting a rectal probe. Also, the use of these devices for electroejaculation of dogs is ineffective. The impact of electrodes on the pelvic nerves improves the quality of the ejaculate, because brings the procedure closer to natural coitus.

Another analogue is artificial vaginas. But to obtain sperm using an artificial vagina, males must be taught the correct technique. Also, this method does not guarantee the sterility of sperm, since pathogenic microorganisms can settle on the walls of the artificial vagina.

The masturbation technique [4], [5] for semen collection does not have clear regulations and protocols among livestock specialists, therefore the qualitative and quantitative indicators of the resulting sperm directly depend on the person performing the procedure.

The following illustration clearly demonstrates the device.

Fig. 1 - electroejaculation device for small pets.

The electroejaculation device for small pets (Fig. 1) is characterized by having a plastic body - a cone-shaped case (2). Several pairs of wires with electrodes extend from the device - 4 pieces: at the end for stimulating the penis (8) 2 pieces are applied; in this case, electrodes acting on the cavernous nerves bilaterally (3) - 2 pieces are applied at the base of the penis, and electrodes (4 pieces) acting on the femoral-genital nerve plexuses of the pelvic muscles (4) are applied in the area of the pelvic muscles and the genital-femoral nerve (7), while for electrical stimulation of the cavernous nerves of the penis and the plexuses of the femoral-genital nerves of the pelvic region, it occurs at a voltage of 5-12 W and a current of 300-600 mA; silicone pads with a vibrating element (6) are attached to the body in a single cone-shaped design of the case, which are placed between the electrodes acting on the cavernous nerves bilaterally for the penis, while they are located opposite each other along the axis of the cavernous bodies, and the other two pairs on the pubic and perineal neuromuscular plexus. At the end of the cone-shaped design of the cover there is a plastic container for collecting semen (1) with a volume of 5 ml, which is detachable, while it is possible to use disposable containers for each type of animal. You can control the current and vibration through the control panel (5), which is a power supply. The device is mobile, as it is powered by a replaceable battery. The radius of the electrodes is approximately 0.4 mm. Electrodes and silicone pads can be removed from the housing for disinfection.

Special extracorporeal electrodes are used for electrical stimulation of the cavernous nerves of the penis and the plexuses of the femoral-genital nerves of the pelvic region at a voltage of 5-12 W and a current of 300-600 mA. It is expected that the stimulation time will be approximately 3-4 minutes (this time is close to the physiological norm).

The procedure is as follows: the veterinarian places pairs of electrodes lubricated with gel and vibrating silicone pads attached to them in a single cone-shaped structure on the penis with their location bilaterally along the axis of the cavernous bodies, and the other two pairs on the pubic and perineal neuromuscular plexus, after which adjustment is made mode of electric shocks and obtaining semen. The expulsion of the seed will also occur in a sterile container at the end of a cone-shaped structure with a volume of 5 ml. According to the protocol, the container is then disconnected and closed with a sealed lid. The device is washed, sterilized and a new container is connected before the next use.
