Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of animal medical device technology, and more specifically to a fixation device for dogs and cats that facilitates tracheal intubation. Background Technology

[0002] Animal endotracheal intubation is a specially designed soft endotracheal tube that passes through the mouth and epiglottis into the trachea. It is used to ensure the patency of the animal's airway and can deliver air, oxygen, and gases such as gaseous anesthetics.

[0003] Endotracheal intubation is an essential step in general anesthesia for dogs and cats. Currently, in clinical practice, after intubation, veterinarians typically use non-elastic materials (such as IV tubing or shoelaces) to secure the endotracheal tube. This is done by tightening the tube with the non-elastic material and tying it around the dog's or cat's nose or behind the ear. However, this method has several limitations. Due to the moist environment inside the animal's mouth, the securing material is prone to loosening or slipping, potentially causing the tube to be inserted further. Furthermore, this method cannot achieve rapid extubation in emergencies. Since general anesthesia is required during endotracheal intubation, insufficient anesthesia cannot effectively prevent the animal from biting the tube, easily damaging it.

[0004] Therefore, developing a fixation device for endotracheal tubes in dogs and cats that can securely fix the endotracheal tube and prevent it from being chewed or damaged is a problem that urgently needs to be solved by those skilled in the art. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of this, the present invention provides a tracheal tube fixing device for dogs and cats that can securely fix the tracheal tube and prevent it from being chewed or damaged.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] A fixation device for dogs and cats to facilitate tracheal intubation includes:

[0008] The fixation body is ring-shaped, and an endotracheal tube passes through the fixation body. The fixation body has an annular cavity inside. An opening is formed on the surface of the fixation body, and the opening is connected to the annular cavity.

[0009] A fixing rope is inserted into the annular cavity, and both ends of the fixing rope protrude from the opening and are placed outside the fixing body;

[0010] A spring buckle is provided on the fixing rope to define the fixing position of the fixing rope.

[0011] The beneficial effects of adopting the above technical solution are that the fixing rope can be firmly fixed by the spring buckle in this utility model, which can prevent the fixing rope from loosening. Furthermore, the fixing rope and the spring buckle can tighten the fixing body and clamp the endotracheal tube to prevent the position of the endotracheal tube from moving, thereby improving the stability of the endotracheal tube fixation.

[0012] Preferably, the fixation body is made of soft silicone. The material of the fixation body ensures that when the fixation rope is tightened, the fixation body will shrink and the inner ring of the fixation body will wrinkle, thus more firmly fixing the endotracheal tube.

[0013] Preferably, the inner ring of the fixing body is provided with multiple anti-slip protrusions. The anti-slip protrusions can better secure the endotracheal tube.

[0014] Preferably, the fixation device further includes a mouth opener connected to the fixation body. The mouth opener is positioned at the animal's premolar position to prevent the animal's upper and lower teeth from closing and biting the endotracheal tube.

[0015] Preferably, the top of the mouth opener has three receiving slots. The receiving slots hold the animal's premolars to prevent its upper and lower jaws from closing, thereby avoiding biting of the tracheal tube.

[0016] Preferably, the fixing body has a snap-fit ​​part on the side near the opening device, and the side wall of the opening device has a snap-fit ​​hole at the position corresponding to the snap-fit ​​part; the snap-fit ​​part is inserted into the snap-fit ​​hole.

[0017] Preferably, the surface of the snap-fit ​​portion is provided with a snap ring, and the inner wall of the snap-fit ​​hole is provided with a snap block, the snap block being snapped into the snap ring.

[0018] As can be seen from the above technical solution, compared with the prior art, this utility model discloses a fixation device for dogs and cats that facilitates tracheal intubation, and its beneficial effects are as follows:

[0019] (1) In this utility model, the locking of the fixed body and the spring buckle effectively prevents the endotracheal tube from slipping or shifting during the anesthesia of dogs and cats due to oral moisture or animal movement, thus ensuring the safety of the endotracheal tube.

[0020] (2) In an emergency, the fixation device can quickly remove the endotracheal tube; and it is equipped with an opening device to effectively prevent the endotracheal tube from being bitten and damaged when the animal is not sufficiently anesthetized or has spontaneous biting behavior, thus ensuring the integrity of the endotracheal tube.
