[0002] During experiments on mice, a thoracotomy is used to expand the mouse's tissues and expose the surgical area. However, existing surgical thoracotomies have significant limitations during experimental operations. The front end of existing mouse thoracotomies uses a double-arc structure. In practice, to fully enter the chest cavity, the thoracotomy often requires passive expansion. This not only increases the risk of surgical trauma but can also cause complications such as pneumothorax and rib fractures. To address these issues, the present invention provides a thoracotomy for mice. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The present invention aims to provide a thoracotomy for mice to solve the problem that existing thoracotomies cannot adapt to different surgical field requirements, thereby passively increasing the thoracotomy range and increasing the risk of trauma.

[0016] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments:

[0017] like Figure 1-4The chest opener for mice shown in the figure comprises two control arms 1, which are rotatably connected to each other, and the rotation axis is set in the middle of the control arm 1. The tail end of the control arm 1 is connected to the control ring 11, and the relative rotation between the two control arms 1 is controlled by the control ring 11. A locking component 12 is set between the two control arms 1. The locking component 12 is used to lock the angle after the two control arms 1 are rotated to a certain angle. In this embodiment, the locking component 12 adopts the method commonly used in the prior art: a curved bar with a sawtooth is connected to a control arm. On the control arm 1, the arc-shaped strip passes through another control arm 1, and the other control wall is rotatably connected to a control handle, which is also provided with serrations; the front ends of the control arms 1 on both sides are connected to a prying assembly 2, which includes a main body block 3, and the internal rotation of the main body block 3 is connected to a control rod 4, one end of the control rod 4 is passed through the outside of the main body block 3 and connected to the control button 41, and the control rod 4 is coaxially connected to the rotating block 5, and the main body block 3 on the left is provided with four rotating blocks 5, and the main body block 3 on the right is provided with three rotating blocks 5, and the rotating blocks 5 are all connected to the prying hook 5 1. The pull hook 51 is an L-shaped structure. A slot 31 is provided on the main body block 3. The slot 31 connects the inside of the main body block 3 with the outside. The pull hook 51 is restricted inside the slot 31. The angle at which the pull hook 51 can rotate is limited to within 30 degrees. The slots 31 on the main body blocks 3 on both sides are arranged alternately. The left and right sides of the control rod 4 inside the main body block 3 are respectively provided with a threaded rod 6 and a limit rod 7. The threaded rod 6 is rotatably connected to the inside of the main body block 3, and the limit rod 7 is fixedly connected to the inside of the main body block 3. The top end of the threaded rod 6 passes through the outside of the main body block 3 and is connected to the locking button 61. The threaded rod 6 is provided with a positive thread 62 and a negative thread 63, and the two threads rotate in opposite directions. Two locking plates 8 are respectively provided on the upper and lower sides of the control rod 4. The left side of the locking plate 8 is threadedly connected to the threaded rod 6, and the right side of the locking plate 8 is penetrated by the limiting rod 7, and the upper and lower locking plates 8 are threadedly connected to the positive thread 62 and the negative thread 63 respectively. A notch 81 is provided on the locking plate 8, and the control rod 4 is provided with a friction pattern 42 at a position vertical to the notch 81. The friction pattern 42 is used to increase the friction between the locking plate 8 and the control rod 4.

[0018] The specific implementation process is as follows: first, adjust the prying component 2 according to the type of surgery on the mouse and the size of the surgical area, turn the control button 41, and the control button 41 drives the control rod 4 to rotate, so that the prying hook 51 rotates, thereby adjusting the rotation angle of the prying hook 51. After the adjustment is completed, the current state of the prying hook 51 needs to be locked, and the locking button 61 is turned to drive the threaded rod 6 to rotate. Since the two ends of the threaded rod 6 have opposite rotation directions, the two locking plates 8 are close to each other and contact the control rod 4. The friction pattern 42 on the control rod 4 contacts the locking plate 8, and the control rod 4 is locked by friction. After the rotation angle of the prying hook 51 is locked, the chest opener can be used to open the chest.

[0019] The above is only an embodiment of the present invention, and common knowledge such as the specific technical solutions or characteristics in the solution is not described in detail here. For those skilled in the art, without departing from the technical solution of the present invention, several variations and improvements can be made, which should also be regarded as the scope of protection of the present invention, and these will not affect the effect of the implementation of the present invention and the practicality of the patent. The scope of protection required by this application shall be based on the content of its claims, and the specific implementation methods and other records in the description can be used to interpret the content of the claims.
