CATÉTER DE INSEMINACIÓN POST-CERVICAL DE DEPOSICIÓN POST-CERVICAL DEPOSITION INSEMINATION CATHETER
MÚLTIPLE.MULTIPLE.
OBJETO DE LA INVENCIÓN.OBJECT OF THE INVENTION
La siguiente invención, según se expresa en el enunciado de Ia presente memoria descriptiva, se refiere a un catéter de inseminación post-cervical de deposición múltiple, mediante el cual se permite depositar el semen en dos o más puntos distintos dentro del tracto genital de Ia hembra a inseminar.The following invention, as expressed in the statement of the present specification, refers to a post-cervical insemination catheter of multiple deposition, whereby it is allowed to deposit the semen in two or more different points within the genital tract of Ia Female to inseminate.
El catéter objeto de Ia presente invención se define como un cuerpo tubular unitario rematado en uno de sus extremos (distal) por un cuerpo de forma esférica provisto de, al menos, un orificio como prolongación del orificio axial del cuerpo tubular, cuyo extremo se introduce en el aparato reproductor del animal a inseminar.The catheter object of the present invention is defined as a unitary tubular body topped at one of its ends (distal) by a spherical body provided with at least one hole as an extension of the axial hole of the tubular body, whose end is introduced in the reproductive system of the animal to be inseminated.
Como objeto esencial del catéter es Ia incorporación de unos orificios adicionales en, al menos, un punto o zona del cuerpo tubular de catéter, permitiendo obtener una deposición del semen en distintos puntos del tracto genital, esto es, a distinta profundidad del tracto genital.As an essential object of the catheter is the incorporation of additional holes in at least one point or area of the catheter tubular body, allowing semen deposition to be obtained at different points of the genital tract, that is, at different depths of the genital tract.
Por otra parte, el diámetro de los orificios puede variar en función de Ia proporción de dosis seminal que deseemos depositar en cada nivel de profundidad dentro del tracto genital de Ia hembra.On the other hand, the diameter of the holes may vary depending on the proportion of seminal dose that we wish to deposit at each level of depth within the female genital tract.
CAMPO DE APLICACIÓN.SCOPE.
En Ia presente memoria se describe un catéter de inseminación post-cervical de deposición múltiple, de aplicación para Ia inseminación artificial de diferentes especies animales: ovina, equina o bovina y siendo de especial aplicación para Ia especie porcina.In this report a post-cervical insemination catheter of multiple deposition is described, of application for the artificial insemination of different animal species: ovine, equine or bovine and being of special application for the porcine species.
ANTECEDENTES DE LA INVENCIÓN.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Como es conocido Ia necesidad de elevadas concentraciones de espermatozoides, obliga a los centros de inseminación a incrementar los precios de las dosis seminales a fin de rentabilizar los eyaculados.As the need for high sperm concentrations is known, it requires insemination centers to increase the prices of seminal doses in order to make the ejaculates profitable.
La reducción del número de espermatozoides conlleva un descenso significativo de fertilidad, ya que, Ia mayor parte de ellos no sobreviven en su ascenso por el aparato reproductor de Ia hembra.The reduction in the number of sperm entails a significant decrease in fertility, since, most of them do not survive their ascent by the female reproductive system.
No obstante, a medida que se aproximan al lugar de fertilización Ia tasa de supervivencia es mayor y en consecuencia, una manera de reducir su número en Ia dosis sería su deposición en un nivel
más profundo en el tracto genital.However, as they approach the fertilization site, the survival rate is higher and, consequently, one way to reduce their number in the dose would be their deposition at a level deeper in the genital tract.
Por otra parte, este hecho constituye el pilar fundamental de Ia inseminación transcervical e intrauterina profunda cuya utilidad ha quedado ampliamente demostrada en los últimos años. No obstante, ambas técnicas presentan ciertas limitaciones.On the other hand, this fact constitutes the fundamental pillar of deep transcervical and intrauterine insemination whose utility has been widely demonstrated in recent years. However, both techniques have certain limitations.
Así, Ia inseminación transcervical requiere de un número de espermatozoides muy superior a la intrauterina profunda (1000-1500 millones vs 50-150 millones), mientras que con Ia intrauterina profunda se han observado prolificidades anormalmente bajas e incluso, supresión de Ia gestación por fertilización unilateral.Thus, transcervical insemination requires a number of sperm far greater than deep intrauterine (1000-1500 million vs 50-150 million), while with deep intrauterine abnormally low prolificities have been observed and even suppression of fertilization pregnancy unilateral.
DESCRIPCIÓN DE LA INVENCIÓN.DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
En Ia presente memoria, con objeto de solventar los inconvenientes citados, se describe un catéter de inseminación post- cervical de deposición múltiple, que permitirá optimizar los resultados de ambas conocidas técnicas a partir de concentraciones intermediasIn this report, in order to solve the aforementioned drawbacks, a post-cervical multiple deposition insemination catheter is described, which will allow optimizing the results of both known techniques from intermediate concentrations.
(400-700 millones) contribuyendo a rentabilizar al máximo las dosis seminales.(400-700 million) contributing to maximize the seminal doses.
Asf, el catéter para inseminación post-cervical se define por un cuerpo tubular que presenta, al menos, un orificio de salida de Ia deposición seminal en su extremo distal y, al menos, un orificio de salida de Ia deposición seminal en un punto o zona intermedia del cuerpo tubular.Thus, the catheter for post-cervical insemination is defined by a tubular body that has at least one exit orifice of the seminal deposition at its distal end and at least one exit orifice of the seminal deposition at a point or intermediate zone of the tubular body.
Asimismo, el catéter para inseminación post-cervical puede presentar, al menos, un orificio de salida de Ia deposición seminal, entre los orificios de salida de Ia deposición seminal, previstos en su extremo distal y en Ia zona intermedia del cuerpo tubular.Likewise, the catheter for post-cervical insemination can have, at least, an exit orifice of the seminal deposition, between the exit orifices of the seminal deposition, provided at its distal end and in the intermediate zone of the tubular body.
Asf, entre los orificios citados previstos en su extremo distal y en Ia zona intermedia del cuerpo tubular, el catéter puede presentar un número variable de orificios de salida de Ia dosis seminal, para que dicha dosis seminal se reparta en un mayor recorrido del catéter y Ia probabilidad de alcanzar el objeto de fecundación sea mayor.Thus, between the aforementioned orifices provided at its distal end and in the intermediate zone of the tubular body, the catheter may have a variable number of exit holes of the seminal dose, so that said seminal dose is distributed in a greater path of the catheter and The probability of reaching the object of fertilization is greater.
De esta forma, el catéter que se presenta tiene por objeto que el orificio u orificios de salida de Ia deposición seminal en su extremo distal se ubique en un cuerno uterino y el orificio u orificios de salida de Ia deposición seminal previsto en un punto o zona intermedia del
cuerpo tubular se corresponda con el útero y/o cervix.In this way, the catheter that is presented has the object that the orifice or exit holes of the seminal deposition at its distal end is located in a uterine horn and the opening or exit holes of the seminal deposition provided at a point or zone intermediate of Tubular body corresponds to the uterus and / or cervix.
Por otra parte, el tamaño o número de los orificios será proporcional al porcentaje de dosis seminal a depositar en cada una de dichas zonas (cuerno uterino y/o útero y/o cervix), pudiendo tener los orificios extremos y los intermedios de salida de Ia dosis seminal diámetros diferentes entre si o bien diámetros idénticos, en función de Ia cantidad de Ia dosis seminal que interese depositar por cada uno de dichos orificios.On the other hand, the size or number of the holes will be proportional to the percentage of seminal dose to be deposited in each of said areas (uterine horn and / or uterus and / or cervix), being able to have the extreme holes and intermediate outlet The seminal dose with different diameters or identical diameters, depending on the amount of the seminal dose that you want to deposit for each of said holes.
A modo de ejemplo, en Ia zona ubicada en el cuerno uterino se podría depositar un 20% de Ia dosis seminal y en Ia zona intermedia del útero se podría depositar el 80% restante de Ia misma dosis seminal.As an example, in the area located in the uterine horn, 20% of the seminal dose could be deposited and in the intermediate area of the uterus the remaining 80% of the same seminal dose could be deposited.
Con ello, podemos lograr el objetivo de Ia fecundación, porque al depositar una cantidad en el cuerno uterino, las probabilidades de éxito respecto a Ia técnica convencional aumentan, mientras que al depositar una cantidad en Ia zona intermedia del útero se previene Ia fecundación unilateral.With this, we can achieve the goal of fertilization, because by depositing an amount in the uterine horn, the chances of success with respect to the conventional technique increase, while depositing an amount in the intermediate area of the uterus prevents unilateral fertilization.
Además, el catéter podrá ser introducido sin catéter guía o con catéter guía.In addition, the catheter may be inserted without a guide catheter or with a guide catheter.
Los posibles orificios practicados entre los orificios del extremo distal y los orificios intermedios podrán estar ubicados en cualquier zona del mismo.The possible holes made between the holes of the distal end and the intermediate holes may be located in any area thereof.

BREVE DESCRIPCIÓN DE LOS DISEÑOS. Figura 1.

DESCRIPCIÓN DE UNA REALIZACIÓN PREFERENTE. A Ia vista de las comentadas figuras y de acuerdo con Ia numeración adoptada podemos observar como el catéter 1 para inseminación post-cervical de deposición múltiple se define como un elemento unitario constituido por un cuerpo tubular 2 alargado, de naturaleza flexible dotado en uno de sus extremos (el extremo interno en Ia inseminación) de un cuerpo redondeado provisto de, al menos, un orificio como prolongación axial del cuerpo tubular.Figure 2. Shows a view of the introduction of a catheter for post-cervical insemination with a seminal deposition in a uterine horn and another area of seminal deposition in the uterus. DESCRIPTION OF A PREFERRED EMBODIMENT. In view of the aforementioned figures and according to the numbering adopted we can observe how the catheter 1 for post-cervical multiple deposition insemination is defined as a unitary element constituted by an elongated tubular body 2, of a flexible nature endowed with one of its ends (the internal end in the insemination) of a rounded body provided with at least one hole as an axial extension of the tubular body.
El catéter que se presenta tiene por objeto que el orificio u orificios 3 de salida de Ia deposición seminal en su extremo distal 4 se localice en un cuerno uterino 7 y el orificio u orificios 5 de salida de Ia deposición seminal en un punto o zona intermedia 6 del cuerpo 2 tubular se localice en el útero 8.The purpose of the catheter that is presented is that the orifice or orifices 3 of the seminal deposition at its distal end 4 be located in a uterine horn 7 and the orifice or orifices 5 of the seminal deposition at an intermediate point or zone 6 of the tubular body 2 is located in the uterus 8.
Entre las zonas de los orificios 3 y 5 de salida de Ia dosis seminal, puede presentar otros orificios 9 que permitan Ia deposición deBetween the zones of the holes 3 and 5 of exit of the seminal dose, other holes 9 may be present that allow the deposition of
Ia dosis seminal en zonas entre el cervix, el útero y el cuerno uterino.The seminal dose in areas between the cervix, the uterus and the uterine horn.
Por otra parte, el tamaño y número de los orificios 3 y 5 será proporcional al porcentaje de dosis seminal a depositar en cada una de dichas zonas 4 y 6. A modo de ejemplo, en Ia zona 4 ubicada en el cuerno uterinoOn the other hand, the size and number of holes 3 and 5 will be proportional to the percentage of seminal dose to be deposited in each of said zones 4 and 6. By way of example, in zone 4 located in the uterine horn
7 se depositará una cantidad que podría ser del 20% de Ia dosis seminal y en Ia zona intermedia 6 del útero se depositará el resto de Ia dosis seminal, en el caso apuntado de un 80%, pudiendo, lógicamente, variar estos porcentajes, en función de las necesidades de inseminación y del número de orificios que se hayan practicado en el catéter.7 an amount that could be 20% of the seminal dose will be deposited and in the intermediate zone 6 of the uterus the rest of the seminal dose will be deposited, in the targeted case of 80%, being able, logically, to vary these percentages, in depending on the insemination needs and the number of holes that have been made in the catheter.
Dado que un porcentaje menor depositado en el cuerno uterino es más eficaz que un porcentaje mayor en otra parte del tracto genital de Ia hembra a inseminar, las probabilidades de éxito de Ia inseminación practicada mediante el catéter objeto de Ia invención aumentan considerablemente.Since a smaller percentage deposited in the uterine horn is more effective than a higher percentage in another part of the female genital tract to be inseminated, the chances of success of the insemination performed by the catheter object of the invention increase considerably.
Dada Ia constitución del catéter 1 éste podrá ser introducido sin catéter guía o con catéter guía.Given the constitution of catheter 1, it can be introduced without a guide catheter or with a guide catheter.
En definitiva, el objeto esencial del catéter 1 es que disponga de uno o más orificios extra en el cuerpo tubular a una distancia variable del mencionado orificio distal.
El diámetro de los orificios practicados en el catéter podrán ser idénticos todos ellos, diferentes o bien podrán ser unos idénticos entre sí y otros diferentes, para adaptarse en función del volumen de semen que se desee depositar en las distintas alturas del tracto genital. Así, Ia principal novedad del nuevo catéter respecto a los ya existentes en el mercado, es que ofrece Ia posibilidad de realizar inseminación post-cervical en dos o más niveles de profundidad en el aparato reproductor de Ia hembra.In short, the essential object of the catheter 1 is that has one or more extra holes in the tubular body at a variable distance from said distal orifice. The diameter of the holes made in the catheter may all be identical, different or they may be identical to each other and different, to adapt depending on the volume of semen that is desired to deposit at different heights of the genital tract. Thus, the main novelty of the new catheter with respect to those already existing in the market, is that it offers the possibility of performing post-cervical insemination at two or more levels deep in the female reproductive system.
De esta forma, mientras que el orificio u orificios distales permitirá depositar un volumen concreto de semen en el cuerpo del útero y/o cervix, en Ia unión útero-tubárica o en el interior del cuerno uterino, los restantes orificios permitirán el depósito de un volumen variable de semen a nivel cervical o post-cervical.In this way, while the orifice or distal holes will allow a specific volume of semen to be deposited in the body of the uterus and / or cervix, in the uterus-tubal junction or inside the uterine horn, the remaining holes will allow the deposit of a variable volume of semen at the cervical or post-cervical level.
El nuevo sistema de inseminación presenta las mismas ventajas que los sistemas de inseminación post-cervicales, en cuanto a lugar de deposición, reducción en Ia incidencia de reflujo durante Ia inseminación y resultados reproductivos, pero presenta ventajas adicionales respecto al resto de sistemas intrauterinos.The new insemination system has the same advantages as post-cervical insemination systems, in terms of deposition, reduction in the incidence of reflux during insemination and reproductive results, but it has additional advantages over other intrauterine systems.
El nuevo catéter reducirá considerablemente el número de espermatozoides empleados y con ello el coste del proceso de inseminación con el consiguiente beneficio económico. Esta disminución del número de espermatozoides empleados se debe a dos hechos fundamentales derivados de Ia existencia de dos o más puntos de deposición del semen: 1) Los orificios laterales permitirán reducir pérdidas de espermatozoides por reflujo al garantizar Ia inseminación más allá del cérvix.The new catheter will significantly reduce the number of sperm used and thus the cost of the insemination process with the consequent economic benefit. This decrease in the number of sperm used is due to two fundamental facts derived from the existence of two or more semen deposition points: 1) The lateral orifices will reduce sperm losses due to reflux by guaranteeing insemination beyond the cervix.
2) La deposición de semen a través del orificio distal del catéter al tratarse de una inseminación intrauterina profunda minimizaría además del reflujo, el efecto del ataque por parte de los leucocitos polimorfonucleares (responsables de Ia muerte del 80% de Ia dosis espermática), permitiendo en consecuencia, una reducción en Ia dosis considerablemente mayor.2) The deposition of semen through the distal orifice of the catheter as it is a deep intrauterine insemination would minimize, in addition to reflux, the effect of attack by polymorphonuclear leukocytes (responsible for the death of 80% of the sperm dose), allowing consequently, a considerably greater reduction in the dose.
Otra de las ventajas derivadas de Ia existencia de dos o más zonas para Ia dispersión del semen, es el posible incremento de
prolificidad respecto a los actuales sistemas de inseminación intrauterina profunda.Another advantage derived from the existence of two or more areas for semen dispersion, is the possible increase in prolificity with respect to current deep intrauterine insemination systems.
Como se ha observado que en numerosas ocasiones, Ia inseminación intrauterina profunda reduce Ia prolificidad como consecuencia de Ia fertilización únicamente de los ovocitos ubicados en el cuerno uterino en el que se introduce el catéter.As it has been observed that on numerous occasions, deep intrauterine insemination reduces prolificacy as a result of fertilization only of the oocytes located in the uterine horn into which the catheter is inserted.
El nuevo catéter objeto de Ia invención evita este problema dado que al permitir el depósito de una parte de Ia dosis seminal en una porción del tracto reproductor anterior al cuerno uterino de forma simultánea a Ia inseminación intrauterina profunda, con Ia inseminación postcervical aumentamos Ia posibilidad de fecundación en el cuerno uterino por el que se introduce el catéter, mientras que los espermatozoides depositados en Ia porción del tracto reproductor anterior al cuerpo uterino, podrán ascender hasta alcanzar el oviducto dónde se produce Ia fecundación por ambos cuernos uterinos.
The new catheter object of the invention avoids this problem since by allowing the deposition of a part of the seminal dose in a portion of the reproductive tract anterior to the uterine horn simultaneously with the deep intrauterine insemination, with postcervical insemination we increase the possibility of fertilization in the uterine horn through which the catheter is introduced, while sperm deposited in the portion of the reproductive tract anterior to the uterine body, may ascend until reaching the oviduct where fertilization occurs by both uterine horns.
