Abstract

La présente invention s'inscrit dans le domaine de la médecine vétérinaire. En particulier, la présente invention concerne des dispositifs immobilisateurs temporaires et jetables du type attelles orthopédiques pour le traitement préventif de traumatismes ou lésions chez des animaux de compagnie pendant l'étape pré-chirurgicale, chirurgicale ou post-chirurgicale, une fois à l'hôpital. Plus spécifiquement, les dispositifs de la présente invention permettent l'immobilisation de manière efficace de certaines structures des animaux de compagnie, telles que le cou et les membres antérieurs et postérieurs, dans les étapes pré-chirurgicales, chirurgicales et post-chirurgicales hospitalières, lorsque lesdits membres présentent des lésions, pour ainsi éviter des dommages des parties affectées avant ou pendant la chirurgie respective. Un aspect important des dispositifs immobilisateurs de la présente invention pour animaux de compagnie est qu'ils satisfont de manière adéquate les principes de coaptation externe de manière équivalente, et à certaines occasions, satisfont de manière améliorée par rapport aux immobilisateurs classiques utilisés par les médecins vétérinaires. En outre, les dispositifs immobilisateurs pour animaux de compagnie de la présente invention se révèlent être plus économiques du fait des matériaux dans lesquels ils sont fabriqués; et ils sont plus commodes pour les animaux de compagnie, étant donné que leur mise en place aisée réduit le stress causé au moment d'effectuer cette immobilisation.
