Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of experimental animal fixation, and in particular relates to an auxiliary fixation device for mouse external application medicine experiments. Background Art

[0002] Mice are commonly used experimental animals in biomedical research. Due to their high physiological and genetic similarities with humans, they have become an important model for studying disease treatment and drug development. In mouse topical drug experiments, in order to ensure continuous contact with the drug and prevent the animal from eating, licking or cleaning its body and interfering with the experimental results, it is usually necessary to use a fixation device to assist.

[0003] At present, common auxiliary fixation devices for mouse topical drug experiments mainly include neck rings, straps and closed devices. However, these traditional devices have some limitations. For example, neck ring fixation may cause discomfort to mice, the tightness of the straps is difficult to adjust, and the closed device may hinder the normal movement of mice. In addition, for mouse topical drug experiments, mice are generally anesthetized first and then subjected to topical drug experiments. During the experiment, the topical drug experiment on mice may take several hours. During this process, the mice may die due to continuous medication and anesthesia. In addition, the traditional fixation method is to fix them directly in a horizontal state and then conduct the experiment. During the experiment, the mice may bite and move violently, which will disrupt the experimental process and affect the experimental results. In addition, during the experiment, because the mice are in a state of stimulation and tension, they may have irritating defecation or autonomous defecation. If there is no corresponding receiving device, the excreted waste may contaminate the experimental table.

[0004] Therefore, there is a need for an auxiliary fixation device for mouse topical drug experiments, which can perform skin topical drug experiments without anesthetizing the mice, ensuring that the experiments can be performed in a living state and the accuracy of the experimental results. In addition, the device can allow the mice to exist in a posture with their heads low and their tails high, reducing the activity of the mice and ensuring that the mice can be tested in a basically quiet state; and the device can continuously administer drugs to the mice to ensure the continuity of the topical drugs, and can also collect and process the feces produced by the mice to prevent their feces from contaminating the device.
