This invention belongs to the field of ferret
health examination technology, and particularly relates to an integrated method and device for ferret
respiratory virus challenge and dynamic
body fluid sampling. It includes: a base plate with a sliding groove inside, a telescopic plate slidably installed within the sliding groove, support arms fixedly installed on both sides of the base plate and the telescopic plate, an arc-shaped plate fixedly installed at the top of each support arm, a
sponge pad fixedly installed on the inner side of the arc-shaped plate, a clamping plate rotatably installed on the top of the arc-shaped plate, a second
sponge pad fixedly installed on the inner side of the clamping plate, a protrusion fixedly installed on the arc-shaped plate, a sliding groove inside the protrusion, symmetrically sliding limit blocks installed within the sliding groove, one end of each limit block abutting against the clamping plate, and a spring fixedly installed between the two limit blocks. This invention has a wide range of applications, allowing for rapid adjustment of the device length and support arm spacing according to the height and size of the ferret, adapting to different sizes of experimental ferrets, effectively reducing animal stress and injury, and providing convenient, safe, and reliable fixation operation.
