Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of animal vascular anastomosis technology, specifically a canine and feline vascular anastomosis device. Background Technology
[0002] In canine and feline surgery, vascular anastomosis is an indispensable fundamental technique. Currently, manual suturing remains the mainstream method for canine and feline vascular anastomosis in clinical practice, but this method has significant limitations: (1) it requires extremely high microsurgical skills from the surgeon, increasing the difficulty of the surgery; (2) the manual suturing process is time-consuming, prolonging the operation; and (3) technical errors are prone to occur during suturing, affecting the success rate of the surgery. Clinical observations have found that approximately 40% of postoperative complications are related to sutures, mainly manifested as rejection and inflammatory reactions. These factors severely restrict the surgical outcome and prognosis.
[0003] In terms of vascular size, the main blood vessels in dogs are 1–1.5 cm in diameter, while those in cats are even smaller, only 0.5–0.8 cm in diameter, with the renal artery branches having a diameter of only 0.1–0.2 cm. This significant species difference poses a huge challenge to traditional suturing methods in canine and feline vascular anastomosis, not only increasing the difficulty of the operation but also significantly reducing the success rate of vascular anastomosis. Clinical data shows that during manual suturing, mechanical damage to the vessel wall from peripheral needles and sutures can cause intimal tears, resulting in a 13%–20% higher incidence of thrombosis compared to instrumental anastomosis. Simultaneously, improper tension control during suturing can easily lead to vascular stenosis, severely affecting hemodynamic stability. Furthermore, traditional suturing techniques often result in anastomotic leakage due to uneven peripheral needle placement, significantly increasing the risk of postoperative bleeding. These factors collectively limit surgical outcomes and prognosis. Vascular anastomosing devices are urgently needed in trauma emergency care, organ transplantation, and microsurgery in pets, primates, livestock, and laboratory animals, as they can significantly improve the efficiency of vascular reconstruction and reduce complications. Therefore, the invention of a canine and feline vascular anastomosing device would be highly beneficial. Utility Model Content

A second layer of locking is achieved by interlocking the buckle and the main anastomotic device, thereby ensuring the strength of the anastomosis and preventing loosening at the anastomosis site.
