Armor device for experiments of non-human primates

Abstract

The invention discloses an armor device for experiments of non-human primates. A back plate comprises a back plate upper portion and a back plate lower portion which are fixedly connected, a back plate lower portion opening hole is formed in the back plate lower portion, an indwelling pipeline protection box is arranged outside the back plate lower portion opening hole, and the back plate upper portion and the back plate lower portion are connected with a web through connecting steel wires; the outsides of the back plate upper portion and the back plate lower portion are wrapped with gauze, a top plate of the indwelling pipeline protection box is provided with a protection box hole corresponding to the back plate lower portion opening hole, and a side plate of the indwelling pipeline protection box is detachable. The back plate is made of aluminum alloy, so that the weight of the armor device is greatly reduced, the animal wears the armor device more comfortably, and the welfare of the animal is protected to the maximum extent. The back plate is wrapped with gauze, and the outer side of the connecting steel wire is sleeved with a rubber protection tube which is used for preventing skin ulceration and even infection caused by friction between the shoulders and the abdomen of the animal when the animal wears the armor device for a long time. The side plate of the indwelling pipeline protection box is detachable, so that the damage condition of the indwelling pipeline on the back can be checked regularly.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of experimental equipment, in particular to an experimental armor device for non-human primates. Background technique [0002] Non-human primates are the closest to humans in terms of animal species, with 75-98% homology in genetic material, highly similar to humans in physiology, shape and function, and exhibit many biology and behaviors similar to humans It has become the most ideal animal model for basic human health disease research and preclinical research. Intravenous catheterization surgery, electrode extraction, etc. of non-human primates need to pass through the skin of the body surface and fix the pipeline or wire, and expose it to the surface of the skin for a long time, so that it can be directly or indirectly (by connecting the vein protection tube) ) connected with a syringe pump or an electric stimulator to complete the corresponding test. Different experiments have different requirements fo...

Problems solved by technology

[0003] Existing technology such as CN201510938926.X-Non-human primate protective clothing, non-human primate protective clothing includes a protective clothing body, and a hole is provided on the back of the protective clothing body to expose the back of the animal so as to facilitate the setting of body surface retention The outer side of the hole is provided with a protective box for the body surface indwelling tube, so that the animal cannot touch the body surface indwelling tube on the back, and the body surface indwelling tube is contained in the protective box, when the animal moves slightly The indwelling tube will not be damaged

However, there are at least three problems in the operation of this non-human primate protective clothing: first, since the metal armor has to be worn close to the skin during the experiment to protect the indwelling pipeline on the animal, long-term friction with the skin will cause It causes the skin to wear and fester, and even grows together with the flesh, causing infection and even death of the animal; second, the original metal armor is made of metal, which is very hard and heavy, and the long-term heavy burden of the animal will also cause the body to become thin, listless, and unhealthy. It is beneficial to experimental activities; thirdly, the back protection pipeline device is made of rubber material, which is easy to age and cause the indwelling pipeline to be exposed, which is easy to cause damage, which is not conducive to the pipeline protection of long-term conscious animal experiments
