Adjustable operating platform suitable for rat and mouse brain stereotaxic apparatus

Abstract

The present invention provides an adjustable operating platform suitable for a rat and mouse brain stereotaxic apparatus. The adjustable operating platform comprises a first operating platform, a second operating platform, a bottom plate, a first lifting mechanism and a second lifting mechanism; the first operating platform and the second operating platform are correspondingly arranged above the bottom plate, the first lifting mechanism is connected between the first operating platform and the bottom plate, and the second lifting mechanism is connected between the second operating platform andthe bottom plate; the first lifting mechanism comprises two first driving rods, two first driven rods and two first adjusting knobs, and the second lifting mechanism comprises two second driving rods, two second driven rods and two second adjusting knobs. Preferably, the adjustable operating platform also comprises a longitudinal adjusting mechanism and a transverse adjusting mechanism. The adjustable operating platform can be adjusted in 3 degrees of freedom, can be operated by a single operator, is more convenient when positioning a rat or a mouse, saves manpower, and is provided with a tail fixing frame to facilitate tail blood taking operation by the operator.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical fields of medical research and medical equipment, in particular to an adjustable console suitable for a stereotaxic instrument for rats and mice. Background technique [0002] Brain stereotaxic apparatus, also known as brain fixation device (English name: stereotaxic apparatus), it uses the three-dimensional coordinate system specified by the landmarks outside the skull or other reference points to determine the position of certain subcortical neural structures, so that Oriented stimulation, destruction, injection of drugs, guided potentials, etc. are studied under direct vision exposure. Animal brain stereotaxic instrument is an important research equipment in the fields of neuroanatomy, neurophysiology, neuropharmacology and neurosurgery. It is used for directional injection, stimulation, destruction, guided potential and other operations on neural structures. It can be used in animal models of cerebral hemorrha...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0004] (1) When fixing rats and mice, two people are required to cooperate. One person supports the body of the rat or mouse to adjust the height and position, and the other person adjusts the ear bars so that they are in line with the body of the rat or mouse. The ear canal is aligned, the operation is troublesome, and it consumes extra manpower;

[0005] (2) The current fixation method is only the ears and the mouth, the whole body is not fixed or the body is suspended, which may lead to loosening of the fixation during the experiment and affect the experiment process;

[0006] (3) When taking blood from the tail of rats and mice, although the rats and mice are under anesthesia, their tails are flexible and easy to move, so it is inconvenient to take blood
