BOVINE INTEGRATION

THE PREVENTION PLAN

The present invention relates to a cervical prolapse prevention device for bovine animals, in which the vulva has been provided with means for preventing the opening of the vulva. Prolaps are commonly found in all animal species after childbirth. In cattle, it occurs in about 0.1% to 0.2% of births.

An arrangement according to the above preamble for a flap suppressor arrangement using the Flessa instrument is known in the art. This device is shown in Figure 1 when installed. Through three edges of a thin vulva, there are Flessa rails placed on each side of the vulva to prevent the opening of the vulva.

The disadvantage of the Flessa instrument is its thin knitting needles, which easily tear themselves apart when the animal comes out with urgent convulsions. The Flessa device is also exposed to defecation when unprotected, whereby, due to a lack of protection, any infections can easily affect the wounds on the edges of the vulva through which the ligaments are threaded. To overcome these drawbacks, a new arrangement has been developed to improve the effectiveness of the antiproliferative devices and to facilitate the healing of wounds resulting from the installation of the arrangement. The arrangement according to the invention is characterized in that the bandage members are flexible plastic and lockable, such as cable ties, having at least one of the grooves enabling the bandage member to be locked on the strip-like portion, and a second protective film and the joint edge between said membranes is positioned at the top.

An advantage of the invention is that when using a bandage of rectangular shape instead of a round stick, the bandage does not tear itself so easily out of the vulva in the case of prolapse prevention. There are easy-to-install shields on the side organs to protect against prolapse and ulcers in the animal's stool.

In the following, the invention will be explained in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawing, in which Figure 1 shows a front view of a prior art prolapse prevention device.

Figure 1 illustrates a prior art prolapse prevention device known as a Flessa device. It consists of three thin rods 3 arranged across the edges of the vulva 1, with the help of which the flessa rails 4 are placed and locked on each side of the vulva 1, which prevent the opening of the vulva 1. The ends of the pins 3 have, for example, threads into which removable locking blocks 6 are threaded. The other ends of the pins 3 have, for example, fixed pieces 5. The pins 3 are mounted using a pipe needle tool (Fig. 8).

Fig. 2 shows the prolapse prevention device best illustrating the invention, positioned below the anus 2 and attached to the edges of the vulva 1. In the present invention, instead of the needles, a plastic banding member 9, 10 is threaded through both edges of the vulva 1 by means of a tubular needle 15, 17. In Figure 2, the three tie members are threaded horizontally through the edges of the vulva 1 by means of a tubular needle 15, 17. The corresponding three binding members 9, 10, such as cable ties known per se, are arranged in the opposite direction to the previous binding members 9,10. Excess lengths are cut off from the tie members 9, 10. The side members 9,10 have a rectangular cross-section, the wider side being at least 3 mm, preferably at least 4 mm.

The two interconnected ligaments 9, 10 form a closed elongated loop at the vulva. In this case, three loops will overlap. A first protective film 8 is threaded through the loops, the upper edge of which is immediately below the anus 2. Figure 3 shows a fiber reinforced first protective film 8.

The second protective film 7 is larger in size and positioned to cover the prolapse prevention device. It can also be fiber reinforced. The first protective film 8 and the second protective film 7 are joined to one another by sewing, gluing or e.g. melting at their upper edges 14. As a result of this connection method, the protective films remain in place when the first protective film 8 is positioned through the loops.

Figure 4 is a side view of the prolapse prevention device. The second protective film 7 also protects the prolapse prevention device against contact of the tail 13.

Figures 5 and 6 show a loop design illustrated by a known cable tie. The block 10 blocking the band-like portion 9 of the side member comprises a tongue known to allow the band-like portion 9 of the toothed surface 11 to pass only in one direction through the block 10 when said portion is pushed through the opening 12 of the block 10.

Fig. 7 shows the manner of positioning the prolapse suppressor device in relation to the vulva 1 and the protective films 7, 8 in the direction of the ligaments. The ribbed portion 9 of the second binding member is threaded through the edges of the vulva 1. A space is formed within the protective loop for the protective film 8.

Figure 8 shows a tubular needle tool having a tubular member 15 of sufficient length to allow it to be punctured and threaded, if desired, through both edges of the vulva 1 at the same time. When the tubular needle portion 15 is threaded into the vulva 1, the band-like portion 9 of the bandage member can be inserted from the end of the tubular needle 15 into the needle as far as possible. The tubular needle 15 is then withdrawn and the bandage member held in place so that the portion 9 of the bandage member remains as a bandage for the vulva 1. The maximum width of the side member is selected to fit within the tubular needle 15.

Claims (5)
