De forma más concreta, el objeto de Ia invención consiste en un dispositivo del tipo que consiste en un catéter de plástico de un solo uso, destinado a constituir el medio de transmisión del semen desde un contenedor al útero de Ia cerda, cuyo innovador y estudiado diseño y configuración estructural persiguen conseguir unas prestaciones funcionales, que faciliten Ia implantación anatómica de dicho semen, determinando unos óptimos resultados con un consumo mínimo del mismo.More specifically, the object of the invention consists of a device of the type consisting of a single-use plastic catheter, intended to constitute the means of transmission of semen from a container to the uterus of the sow, whose innovative and studied Structural design and configuration seek to achieve functional benefits that facilitate the anatomical implantation of said semen, determining optimal results with a minimum consumption of it.
ANTECEDENTES DE LA INVENCIÓNBACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
En Ia actualidad y como referencia al estado de Ia técnica, debe mencionarse que, existen diferentes tipos de catéteres, destinados al fin que aquí concierne, que van desde el clásico reutilizable tipo "Melrose" a una gran variedad de catéteres de plástico de un solo uso, estando, éstos últimos, configurados de forma convencional, generalmente, por tres piezas principales, mango, caña y punta. El mango, no presente en todos los catéteres, es una pieza de pequeñas dimensiones que sirve para manejar el catéter con facilidad y, en los que Io poseen, para fijar al catéter Ia canulita del envase seminal.At present and as a reference to the state of the art, it should be mentioned that, there are different types of catheters, intended for the purpose here concerned, ranging from the reusable classic "Melrose" type to a wide variety of single-type plastic catheters use, the latter being conventionally configured, generally, by three main parts, handle, rod and tip. The handle, not present in all catheters, is a piece of small dimensions that serves to handle the catheter with ease and, in which they have it, to fix to the catheter the canulite of the seminal container.
La caña o cuerpo del catéter, es un tubo de aproximadamenteThe rod or catheter body is a tube of approximately
50 centímetros de largo, que sirve como conducción de liquido seminal. El diámetro de este tubo es variable, aunque en ningún caso su cota exterior supera los IO milímetros.50 centimeters long, which serves as conduction of seminal fluid. The diameter of this tube is variable, although in no case its outer dimension exceeds IO millimeters.
Finalmente, Ia punta, es el elemento principal del catéter, es una pieza de tamaño y forma variable que, en cualquier caso, posibilita su introducción y fijación en el cuello del útero. Las hay de forma cilindrica (tapón), fabricadas en espuma y de un tamaño próximo a los 2 centímetros, y las hay con forma cónica, fabricadas con diferentes tipos de plásticos y con tamaños muy variables pero que suelen situarse entre los 3 y 8 centímetros.Finally, the tip, is the main element of the catheter, is a piece of variable size and shape that, in any case, allows its introduction and fixation in the cervix. There are cylindrical (stopper), made of foam and about 2 centimeters in size, and there are tapered, made with different types of plastics and with very variable sizes but usually between 3 and 8 centimeters .
La sujeción al cuello del útero se facilita en unos casos gracias a Ia forma helicoidal del cono y en otros casos a Ia existencia de unos anillos o laminas suplementarias que aumentan el nivel de acoplamiento entre el catéter y las irregularidades de Ia pared cervical.The subjection to the cervix is facilitated in some cases thanks to the helical shape of the cone and in other cases to the existence of additional rings or sheets that increase the level of coupling between the catheter and the irregularities of the cervical wall.
Cabe destacar que el propio Solicitante es titular del Modelo de Utilidad 200000004 así como de Ia Patente de Invención 20002360 en los que se describen dispositivos de este tipo. En el primer caso, Ia punta del catéter se prolonga por una cánula que discurre por el interior de Ia caña, Ia cual se cierra por su extremidad libre mediante un tapón sensiblemente esférico, contando dicha canulita cerca de dicho extremo con una pareja de orificios para salida del semen, mientras en el segundo caso, se mejora dicha disposición mediante el perfeccionamiento de dicho tapón incorporando un ensanchamiento que evita roces, incorporando asimismo una señal en el mango que orienta de Ia posición de dichos orificios y contando con Ia punta de fijación cerrada por su extremo y afectada de un corte o abertura diametral.It should be noted that the Applicant himself is the holder of the Utility Model 200000004 as well as of the Invention Patent 20002360 in which devices of this type are described. In the first case, the tip of the catheter is extended by a cannula that runs through the inside of the rod, which is closed at its free end by means of a substantially spherical plug, said cannula counting near said end with a pair of holes for semen exit, while in the second case, said arrangement is improved by refining said cap incorporating a widening that prevents friction, also incorporating a signal in the handle that guides the position of said holes and counting on the fixing tip closed at its end and affected by a cut or diametral opening.
Si bien dichos dispositivos cumplen satisfactoriamente con el cometido a que se destinan, existen determinados aspectos de los mismos susceptibles de ser mejorados, siendo el objetivo principal de Ia presente invención dicha mejora, relativa concretamente a Ia configuración del extremo de Ia punta de fijación, en orden a evitar Ia entrada de objetos extraños en el conducto, a mejorar Ia indicación de posicionamiento de los orificios previstos en el tapón de Ia cánula, y en orden a evitar Ia tendencia de Ia cánula a salirse del interior del catéter, debiendo mencionarse que, por parte del peticionario, se desconoce Ia existencia de ninguna otra invención que presente unas características técnicas, estructurales y de configuración semejantes, a las que presenta Ia que aquí se preconiza.Although said devices satisfactorily fulfill the purpose to which they are intended, there are certain aspects of them capable of being improved, the main objective of the present invention being said improvement, specifically related to the configuration of the end of the fixing tip, in order to avoid the entry of foreign objects into the duct, to improve the indication of positioning of the holes provided in the cap of the cannula, and in order to avoid the tendency of the cannula to leave the inside of the catheter, it should be mentioned that, on the part of the petitioner, the existence of any other invention that presents similar technical, structural and configuration characteristics is unknown to those presented here.
DESCRIPCIÓN DE LA INVENCIÓNDESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
De forma concreta, el dispositivo que Ia invención propone, se configura básicamente partiendo de una configuración similar a Ia descrita en los documentos anteriormente citados, es decir, comprendiendo esencialmente una caña por cuyo interior discurre axialmente una cánula interior, de forma que se evita Ia introducción directa de Ia cánula de inseminación, Io cual podría provocar desgarros internos en Ia cerda e incluso su muerte. Dicha cánula es de mayor longitud que Ia caña y está dotada en su extremo de un tapón que cierra su extremo, en el que dispone de sendos orificios diametralmente opuestos, por los que saldrá el semen, tras Ia adecuada manipulación del dispositivo para su correcta colocación en el interior del útero.Specifically, the device proposed by the invention is basically configured based on a configuration similar to that described in the aforementioned documents, that is to say, essentially comprising a rod through which an inner cannula runs axially, so that the direct introduction of the insemination cannula, which could cause internal tears in the sow and even death. Said cannula is of greater length than the rod and is provided at its end with a cap that closes its end, in which it has two diametrically opposed holes, through which the semen will come out, after the adequate manipulation of the device for its correct placement inside the uterus
Para ello, el dispositivo cuenta con una punta de fijación cilindrica afectada de un regruesamiento espiral, Ia cual, y ya de forma caracterizadora y de acuerdo con Ia invención, presenta Ia particularidad de incorporar en su extremo un pequeño tapón esférico que mantiene completamente cerrado el extremo de dicha punta hasta el momento de Ia inseminación, evitando, como podía ocurrir en el caso de estar abierto dicho extremo o afectado de cortes o aberturas, Ia entrada en el conducto de cuerpos extraños durante Ia operación de inserción del dispositivo en el útero del animal, ya que forzosamente consiste en un movimiento ascendente a través de dicho útero que podría abrir los mencionados cortes. Sin embargo, el tapón que se propone, que tal como se ha mencionado adopta una configuración esférica, tiene su abertura por su zona lateral, manteniéndose unido al cuerpo de Ia punta por un extremo que actuará a modo de bisagra, de forma que durante Ia operación de introducción, resulta imposible que se abra, ya que Ia propia fuerza de empuje hace que permanezca cerrado y por tanto no pueda penetrar ningún cuerpo extraño en su interior, y en el momento de Ia inseminación, el empuje de Ia cánula Io abrirá adecuadamente para proceder a derramar el semen.For this, the device has an affected cylindrical fixing tip of a spiral thickening, which, and already characterizing and according to the invention, it has the particularity of incorporating at its end a small spherical cap that keeps the end of said tip completely closed until the moment of insemination, avoiding, as it could happen in the case of being open said end or affected by cuts or openings, the entry into the conduit of foreign bodies during the operation of insertion of the device into the uterus of the animal, since it necessarily consists of an upward movement through said uterus that could open said cuts. However, the proposed cap, which as mentioned adopts a spherical configuration, has its opening in its lateral area, being held together with the body of the tip by an end that will act as a hinge, so that during the introductory operation, it is impossible for it to open, since the thrust force itself makes it remain closed and therefore no foreign body can penetrate inside, and at the time of insemination, the thrust of the cannula will open properly to proceed to spill the semen.
De acuerdo con otra característica de la invención, el dispositivo presenta Ia particularidad de incorporar, a lo largo de toda la cánula de inseminación al menos una raya, línea orientativa o zona rayada que permite saber donde se encuentran los orificios de salida del semen, en orden a poder orientarlos dentro de Ia matriz de Ia cerda y, por tanto, orientar mejor Ia salida del flujo seminal en el punto adecuado y evitando así su derroche. Esta raya o porción rayada, es cromáticamente diferente del resto de la cánula permitiendo ser diferenciada su posición.According to another feature of the invention, the device has the particularity of incorporating, along the entire insemination cannula, at least one line, orientation line or scratched area that allows to know where the semen exit holes are located, in order to be able to orient them within the sow matrix and, therefore, to better orient the exit of the seminal flow at the appropriate point and thus avoiding its waste. This stripe or striped portion is chromatically different from the rest of the cannula allowing its position to be differentiated.
Es objeto de la invención el poder incorporar varias porciones rayadas de colores iguales o diferenciadas y cromáticamente diferentes del resto de Ia cánula, que discurren longitudinalmente por el cuerpo de dicha cánula interior, facilitando conocer Ia orientación de los orificios del tapón difusor. Finalmente, e igualmente de forma caracterizadora e innovadora, el dispositivo cuenta con un novedoso sistema de bloqueo de Ia cánula de inseminación, constituido por una pieza de freno que atravesada por Ia cánula en su zona inferior e insertada en el extremo inferior de Ia caña, al ser de una estructura que se interpone con ésta y que puede ser más dura o más blanda, evita Ia tendencia que tiene Ia cánula de salirse de Ia caña cuando se está roscando el dispositivo en Ia vagina de Ia cerda, facilitando con ello Ia labor del operador o veterinario y en consecuencia acortando ventajosamente el tiempo duración de Ia operación.It is an object of the invention to incorporate several striped portions of the same or differentiated and chromatically different colors from the rest of the cannula, which run longitudinally through the body of said inner cannula, making it easier to know the orientation of the holes of the diffuser cap. Finally, and also in a characterizing and innovative way, the device has a novel locking system of the insemination cannula, constituted by a brake piece that passes through the cannula in its lower area and inserted in the lower end of the rod, Being of a structure that interposes with it and that can be harder or softer, avoids the tendency of the cannula to leave the cane when the device is being threaded into the vagina of the sow, thereby facilitating the work of the operator or veterinarian and consequently advantageously shortening the duration of the operation.
El nuevo dispositivo de inseminación artificial, particularmente aplicable para cerdas así descrito representa, una estructura innovadora de características estructurales y constitutivas desconocidas hasta ahora para tal fin, razones que unidas a su utilidad práctica, Ia dotan de fundamento suficiente para obtener el privilegio de exclusividad que se solicita.The new artificial insemination device, particularly applicable for bristles described in this way, represents an innovative structure with structural and constitutive characteristics unknown until now for this purpose, reasons that, together with its practical utility, provide sufficient grounds to obtain the privilege of exclusivity that It is requested.

REALIZACIÓN PREFERENTE DE LA INVENCIÓNPREFERRED EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION
A Ia vista de las mencionadas figuras, y de acuerdo con Ia numeración adoptada, se puede observar en ellas un ejemplo de realización preferente de Ia invención, Ia cual comprende las partes y elementos que se indican y describen en detalle a continuación.In view of the aforementioned figures, and in accordance with the numbering adopted, an example of a preferred embodiment of the invention can be observed therein, which comprises the parts and elements indicated and described in detail below.
Así, tal como se aprecia en Ia figura 1 , el dispositivo (1) se configura esencialmente a partir de una caña (2) configurada por un cuerpo tubular que actúa a modo de guía, por cuyo interior discurre axialmente una cánula interior (3) constitutiva de Ia cánula de inseminación, mediante Ia cual, por su extremo posterior se acopla a un recipiente y por el anterior se deposita el semen en el útero de Ia cerda, contando para posibilitar su fijación con una punta cilindrica de fijación (4) afectada de un regruesamiento espiral (5).Thus, as seen in Figure 1, the device (1) is essentially configured from a rod (2) configured by a tubular body that acts as a guide, through which an inner cannula (3) runs axially constitutive of the insemination cannula, whereby, at its rear end it is coupled to a container and the semen is deposited in the uterus of the sow, counting to allow its fixation with an affected cylindrical fixation tip (4) of a spiral thickening (5).
Tal como se aprecia en las figuras 2 y 3, dicha punta de fijaciónAs can be seen in figures 2 and 3, said fixing tip
(4), cuenta en su extremo con un pequeño tapón esférico (6), de dimensiones acordes para cubrir perimetralmente el orificio (7) de Ia punta (4) a través del que discurrirá Ia cánula interior (3). Dicho tapón (6), como puede observarse en el detalle de Ia figura 2, se abre lateralmente, encontrándose unido solidariamente al cuerpo de Ia punta (4) por un extremo (8) de Ia misma a modo de bisagra. De esta forma, se mantiene completamente cerrado el extremo de dicha punta (4) evitando Ia entrada en el conducto de cuerpos extraños durante Ia operación de inserción del dispositivo en el útero del animal.(4), has at its end with a small spherical plug (6), of dimensions according to cover the hole (7) of the tip (4) through which the inner cannula (3) will run. Said stopper (6), as can be seen in the detail of Figure 2, is opened laterally, being jointly joined to the body of the tip (4) by one end (8) thereof as a hinge. In this way, the end of said tip (4) is kept completely closed avoiding the entry into the conduit of foreign bodies during the operation of insertion of the device into the uterus of the animal.
Por su parte, Ia cánula interior (3), que es de mayor longitud que Ia caña (2), tal como se aprecia en Ia figura 3, está dotada en su extremo superior de un tapón difusor (9) en el que dispone de unos orificios (10) diametralmente opuestos, a través de los cuales saldrá el semen, contando, para conocer fácilmente y en todo momento Ia posición de dichos orificios (10) con objeto de orientar adecuadamente Ia salida del semen a través de ellos, con una porción rayada (11) cromáticamente diferente del resto de Ia cánula (3) que discurre longitudinalmente por todo el cuerpo tubular constituyente de dicha cánula interior (3), Ia cual, lógicamente, está orientada en Ia misma posición que uno de dichos orificios (10), entendiéndose que el otro se encuentra en el lado diametralmente opuesto.For its part, the inner cannula (3), which is longer than the rod (2), as shown in Figure 3, is provided at its upper end with a diffuser cap (9) in which it has diametrically opposed holes (10), through which the semen will come out, counting, to easily and at all times know the position of said holes (10) in order to properly orient the semen exit through them, with a chromatically striped portion (11) different from the rest of the cannula (3) that runs longitudinally through the entire tubular body constituting said inner cannula (3), which, logically, is oriented in the same position as one of said holes (10 ), understanding that the other is on the diametrically opposite side.
Finalmente, atendiendo a Ia figura número 4, se puede aprecia como el dispositivo (1) cuenta en el extremo anterior de Ia caña (2) con un sistema de bloqueo destinado a evitar Ia salida de Ia cánula de inseminación (3), el cual está constituido por una pieza de freno (12) de configuración tubular insertada ajustadamente en Ia zona anterior de dicha cánula (3) que Ia atraviesa.Finally, according to figure number 4, it can be seen how the device (1) has a locking system at the front end of the rod (2) to prevent the exit of the insemination cannula (3), which It is constituted by a brake part (12) of tubular configuration inserted tightly in the anterior area of said cannula (3) that crosses it.
