primate restraint

Abstract

A restraint device for primates, when a primate is restrained by a partition wall that can move back and forth in the restraint device, by reducing the distance between the root of the limbs and the longitudinal beam of the lattice of the partition wall that causes damage to the roots of the limbs friction, reduce or even eliminate the damage. The primate restraint (10) has: a storage body (20) with two sides, a top surface and a bottom surface; a back door (50) on the back side of the storage body (20) that can be opened and closed; ) and a partition wall (30) that can be fixedly formed at a desired position inside the storage body (20) and can be moved forward and backward, wherein the limbs of the primate are fixed in the front direction At the position of the longitudinal beam member (31) of the partition wall (30) where the root of the limb abuts, a protective tube (33) is rotatably inserted outwardly relative to the longitudinal beam member (31).

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to improvements in restraints for temporarily restraining primates during experiments using primates as experimental animals. Background technique [0002] When researching and developing pharmaceuticals for the diagnosis of human diseases or the treatment of diseases, it is necessary to confirm the effect of the drug by applying it to animals in order to investigate in advance how the drug will affect the human body. [0003] As experimental animals used here, mice, voles, pigs, rabbits, monkeys, and various other animals are used. However, the use of primates (hereinafter referred to as "monkeys") is most appropriate for the most reliable investigation of the effects of agents applied to humans. [0004] However, in order to give medicine orally, intragastrically or intravenously to monkeys, or to draw blood from monkeys, or to diagnose the state of the pupils of monkeys, or to press the monkey's head as needed, it is n...

Problems solved by technology

[0012] As mentioned above, when the limbs of the monkey in the restraint are pulled out from the grid of the partition wall to the front side and tied to the operating handle with a rope or the like to limit its movement, the roots of the limbs, that is, the underarms and The diameter of the mouse is in strong contact with the stringers of the grid that constitutes the partition wall. At this time, these parts will rub against each other, causing redness of the skin, or depending on the situation, various damages such as erosion or peeling of the skin at the contacted part

Such damage not only damages the monkey's health, but also has a negative impact on the accuracy of the experiment
