Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of animal operating table technology, and in particular to a surgical fixation table for exposing the neck / abdomen of mice. Background Technology

[0002] Animals are commonly used in scientific research to gain new knowledge in biology, medicine, and other fields, or to solve specific problems. The ultimate goal of the development of laboratory animal science is to apply the study of animal life phenomena to humans, controlling human diseases and aging, and extending human lifespan. Mice are the most commonly used laboratory animals, leading to the development of specialized operating tables or dissection tables for experiments on mice and rats. These tables typically use straps attached to nails on the operating table to secure the mouse's limbs. However, this method of restraint is often difficult to adjust for mice of different ages and can easily cause discomfort and injury to the animals, affecting the accuracy of experimental results.

[0003] Neck or abdominal surgery is the most common type of surgery in mice. However, due to the large head, short neck, and kyphotic lumbar spine of mice, exposure during neck / abdomen surgery is difficult. In addition, mice are in a curled-up position in their natural state, and most existing devices do not stretch the mouse out of this curled-up position after fixing the body, failing to fully expose the abdomen for surgery, which has certain adverse effects on the researchers' use. To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, we propose a surgical fixation table for mouse dissection. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the shortcomings of the existing technology, this invention aims to provide a surgical fixation table for exposing the neck / abdomen of mice. It utilizes a limb restraint assembly slidably connected to the operating table to quickly fix the limbs of mice of different sizes. A neck / abdomen positioning pad is used to fully expose the surgical area. Simultaneously, the angle of the suction tube is adjusted according to the mouse's different positions. Combined with the heating plate, this ensures the safe and smooth conduct of the surgery, thereby solving the problems existing in the prior art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] A surgical fixation table for exposing the neck / abdomen of a mouse includes an operating table on which:

[0007] A heating plate is connected to the center of the worktable;

[0008] The limb restraint assembly consists of four parts, each located at one of the four corners of the heating plate, and is movably connected to the operating table.

[0009] Anesthesia inhalation device is located at one end of the operating table corresponding to the mouse's head;

[0010] A neck positioning pad is detachably attached to the operating table and is located between the heating plate and the anesthesia inhalation unit;

[0011] Abdominal positioning pad, detachably attached to the top of the heating plate.

[0012] As a further preferred embodiment of the above solution, each limb restraint component is connected to an opening slot on the operating table via a guide rod. The limb restraint component includes a sliding part, a support part, and a limiting part. The sliding part is movably sleeved on the guide rod, and the limiting part is located above the sliding part. The sliding part and the limiting part are connected via the support part.

[0013] Based on the above technical solution, the limiting part further includes an arc-shaped clamping plate and a puller. The arc-shaped clamping plate is connected to the top of the support part, and the puller is located on the top of the arc-shaped clamping plate and connected to the support part.

[0014] Based on the above technical solution, furthermore, two pullers are provided and symmetrically distributed at both ends of the arc-shaped clamping plate, and each puller includes:

[0015] Auxiliary clamping posts are connected to the top of the arc-shaped clamping plate;

[0016] The limiting plate is located on one side of the auxiliary clamping column and connected to the top of the support.

[0017] The tie rod is connected to the side wall of the auxiliary clamping column and passes through the limiting plate;

[0018] An elastic element is positioned between the auxiliary clamping post and the limiting plate.

[0019] Based on the above technical solution, the support part further includes a straight strut and a diagonal strut. The two ends of the straight strut are connected to the sliding part and the arc-shaped clamping plate, respectively. There are two diagonal struts, which are located on both sides of the straight strut, and the two ends of the diagonal struts are connected to the sliding part and the limiting plate, respectively.

[0020] As a further preferred embodiment of the above solution, the anesthetic inhalation assembly includes a suction cartridge and an adjustment unit, the suction cartridge and the adjustment unit being detachably connected, and the adjustment unit being movably connected to the operating table.

[0021] Preferably, the adjustment part includes an adjustment plate and a support rod, the adjustment plate is movably connected to the operating table, and the support rod is connected to the operating table and abuts against the adjustment plate.

[0022] Compared with the prior art, the present invention can produce the following beneficial effects:

[0023] 1. By setting up limb restraint components and positioning pads, the mice are ensured to be stable and comfortable during the operation. The limb restraint components are slidably connected to the opening slot, which makes it easy to adjust the position according to the size of the mouse and achieve precise fixation of the mouse's limbs. In conjunction with the positioning pads, the surgical area is fully exposed while avoiding accidental movement of the mouse during the operation that could cause damage.

[0024] 2. By setting up an anesthesia inhalation assembly, the angle of the adjustment plate can be adjusted by using the support rod and the limiting strips at different positions. This allows the angle of the opening end of the inhalation cartridge to adapt to the changes in the mouse's body position, ensuring that the mouse inhales the anesthetic gas evenly and reducing surgical risks.

[0025] 3. This utility model utilizes a heating plate to maintain the body temperature of mice, reducing surgical risks. The detachable design of the heating plate facilitates cleaning and disinfection, extending its service life. The entire surgical fixation table is ingeniously designed and easy to operate, effectively improving surgical efficiency and safety. It is suitable for various mouse surgical experiments.
