Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a rabbit fixation device with rabbit ear fixation function, which belongs to the field of experimental instruments in medicine and biology. Background Technology

[0002] Animal experiments are an indispensable part of scientific research, used to explore the laws of life, verify scientific hypotheses, and promote the healthy development of human society. Currently, animal experiments are applied in various research fields, such as establishing models through gene editing or environmental factors to simulate the occurrence and development of human diseases; verifying the safety and efficacy of drugs; and studying basic biological processes such as cell metabolism. Laboratory rabbits, with their moderate size, short reproductive cycle, docile temperament, clear and abundant ear veins, and sensitivity to various antigens, are widely used in teaching, research, and other experiments.

[0003] Studies on laboratory rabbits often involve procedures such as injecting anesthetic into the marginal ear vein, collecting blood from the marginal ear vein, and injecting contrast agents into the marginal ear vein. When the needle tip pierces the marginal ear vein, the laboratory rabbits often struggle violently due to the irritating pain, making the operation difficult to carry out smoothly, affecting the subsequent experimental process and efficiency, and thus affecting the stability and accuracy of the experimental results.

[0004] Currently, procedures such as administering anesthetic via the marginal ear vein in experimental rabbits require at least two personnel. One person stands at the rabbit's tail, holding the ears with both hands and gently bending them forward, supporting the rabbit's body with their elbows on either side and gently pulling them inward to stabilize the rabbit's head and body, while leaning slightly forward to limit the rabbit's range of motion. The other person stands at the rabbit's head, using one hand to stabilize the bent ear and the other to hold the syringe and perform the procedure. When the rabbit feels pain, it will struggle and shake its ears, making needle insertion difficult and potentially causing injury to the personnel, thus posing a safety risk. Utility Model Content

[0029] See Figures 1 to 5 This utility model discloses a rabbit fixation device with rabbit ear fixation function, comprising a rectangular box 1 and a fixing box. The upper surface of the rectangular box 1 has two parallel concealed slide rails 2 arranged along its long axis. The fixing box includes four uprights 3, two side plates 4, and a front plate 5, a rear plate 6, and a top plate 7 mounted via the four uprights 3. The four uprights 3 are detachably mounted at the four ends of the two concealed slide rails 2. The rear plate 6 is rotatably connected to the corresponding upright 3 to facilitate placing or removing the rabbit into or from the fixing box. Each side plate 4 is slidably connected to the upper surface of the rectangular box 1 via the two concealed slide rails 2. The top plate 7 has two parallel slide rails arranged along its long axis. Each side plate 4 can be slidably connected to the top plate 7 via the two slide rails. Both side plates 4 can move along the two concealed slide rails 2 to adjust the distance between them. Preferably, threaded holes 14 are provided at five different height positions on the column 3. The four corners of the top plate 7 of the fixing box are respectively connected to the threaded holes 14 at corresponding heights on the four columns 4 by bolts 15. The top plate 7 can be connected to the corresponding height screw holes by thread according to the size of the experimental rabbit. By adjusting the distance between the two side plates 4 and the height of the top plate 7, it can be adapted to experimental rabbits of different sizes. Two ear holes 8 are provided on the front plate 5. A transparent plate 9 is installed by the two columns 3 connected to the front plate 5. The transparent plate 9 is parallel to the horizontal plane. Two clamping plates 10 are provided on the transparent plate 9. The two clamping plates 10 are located directly below the two ear holes 8. The two clamping plates 10 cooperate with the two ear holes 8 to fix the rabbit ears. The two side plates 4, the front plate 5, the rear plate 6 and the top plate 7 are all transparent plates to facilitate the observation of the experimental rabbit.

[0030] Furthermore, each of the card plates 10 is equipped with a micro-pressure sensor, and each card plate 10 is made of medical-grade silicone. The micro-pressure sensor monitors the clamping force in real time to prevent injury to the experimental rabbits.

[0031] Preferably, the rectangular box 1 is equipped with an illumination mechanism. Two light sources 11 of the illumination mechanism are embedded in the upper surface of the rectangular box 1, and the two light sources 11 are located directly below the two ear holes 8. The switch 12 and the brightness adjustment knob 13 of the illumination mechanism are arranged on the side of the rectangular box 1. The illumination mechanism helps to fully and clearly display blood vessels such as the marginal ear vein of the experimental rabbit, assisting the operator in selecting the appropriate needle insertion site, angle, and depth. After the needle tip successfully punctures the blood vessel, the injection of medication can be clearly observed with the assistance of the illumination mechanism. When the blood vessel changes from red to light and then back to red, and no swelling occurs at the injection site, it proves that all the medication has been injected.

[0032] Furthermore, both pillars 3 connecting the front plate 5 are provided with slots, and the two ends of the front plate 3 are respectively arranged in the slots of the corresponding pillars 3, which facilitates the removal of the front plate 5.

[0033] Specifically, the two ear holes 8 are circular or near-circular, and are of the same size. The distance between the vertices of the arcs of the two ear holes 8 is 3-5 cm.

[0034] Preferably, a rubber pad is provided between the two concealed slide rails 2 on the upper surface of the rectangular box 1, which can effectively reduce the activity of the experimental rabbits and ensure the smooth progress of the experiment.

[0035] Furthermore, the rectangular box 1 is provided with a storage drawer 16 for storing experimental tools, and the storage drawer 16 is provided with a drawer handle 17.

Select two side panels 4, front panel 5, and back panel 7 of appropriate size according to the size of the experimental rabbit, and adjust the distance between the two side panels 4 and the height of the top panel 7.

[0041] 3. Fixing the ears of the experimental rabbits: The ears of the experimental rabbits are passed through the two ear holes 8 of the front plate 5 and effectively fixed by the clamping plate 10. The clamping force is monitored in real time by the micro pressure sensor to avoid injury to the experimental rabbits.

[0042] 4. Activate the lighting mechanism: Connect the power supply, turn on switch 12, and rotate knob 13 to make the brightness of light source 11 appropriate, so as to ensure that the blood vessels such as the marginal ear vein of the experimental rabbit on the transparent plate 9 are fully, clearly and comprehensively displayed.

[0043] 5. Conduct the experiment: Select appropriate experimental tools from storage drawer 16 and perform the corresponding operations. First, treat the rabbit fur on the rabbit's ear, and then perform the puncture operation. After the needle tip successfully punctures the blood vessel, inject the drug. Under the illumination, the injection process can be clearly observed. When the blood vessel changes from red to light and then back to red, and no swelling occurs at the injection site, it proves that all the drug has been injected.

[0044] 6. Remove the experimental rabbit: After the experiment, rotate knob 13, turn off switch 12 to disconnect the power, remove the retaining plate 10, and slowly remove the rabbit's ear; slide side plate 4 to open rear plate 6 and remove the experimental rabbit. Subsequent experiments can be continued on the rectangular box 1 with the fixed box disassembled.
