Veterinary orthopedic kit

Abstract

The veterinary orthopedic kit relates to veterinary science and more specifically to orthopedics and traumatology, and can be used in veterinary clinics in the treatment and restoration of function to damaged limbs of dogs, cats and other animals. The technical problem to be solved consists in the timely and quality provision of emergency care to injured animals, an increase in the effectiveness of treatment and the prevention of serious complications. This problem is solved in that orthopedic external fixation systems are provided in a universal and multifunctional set. The veterinary orthopedic kit consists of a rectangular container in the form of a box having a lid and being divided by partitions into a plurality of sections. The sections accommodate a set of components and instruments for the purposes of external fixation: polyfunctional monoblocks, plates, rods and pins, bars, fasteners and instruments.

Claims

1. A veterinary orthopedic kit comprising: a rectangular container made in the form of a box with a lid comprising a plurality of sections, wherein the rectangular container further comprises: a plurality of polyfunctional single units; a plurality of beams; a plurality of plates having a plurality of holes; and a plurality of rods and pins; wherein the plurality of polyfunctional single units form a mounting assembly between the plurality of plates, and the plurality of rods and pins, wherein the plurality of beams is are adapted to form a stiffening rib that supports the polyfunctional single unit with respect to a damaged limb, wherein the plurality of plates are coupled with the plurality of polyfunctional single units to form a monolateral, double plane and arc-ring set, and wherein the plurality of rods and pins are adapted to fix bones in transosseous and intraosseous insertions of bones, wherein two polyfunctional single units are combined with the aid of the plurality of beams that forms a two degree of freedom, wherein the two degree of freedom allows insertion of a bone anchor comprising the plurality of rods and pins at different angles and in different planes for external treatment and restoration of a damaged limb.

2. The veterinary orthopedic kit of claim 1, wherein the plurality of beams ranges between 0.8 mm to 5.0 mm in diameter.

3. The veterinary orthopedic kit of claim 1, wherein the plurality of plates are coupled with the plurality of polyfunctional single units to form a monolateral, double plane and arc-ring sets of up to 110 mm.

4. The veterinary orthopedic kit of claim 1, wherein the plurality of beams are supporting beams.

5. The veterinary orthopedic kit of claim 1, wherein the plurality of plates having a plurality of holes is selected from reconstruction plates and radial plates.

6. The veterinary orthopedic kit of claim 1, wherein the rods in the plurality of rods and pins are self-tapping fixing rods designed for fixating in the bone at an angle.

BEST EMBODIMENT OF INVENTION

(3) The veterinary orthopedic device is set to be used as follows. A specialist who has this kit and who was properly trained, when a clinical case occurs, shall use for an animal the suggested orthopedic products in either configuration justified by the clinical case. For example, after preparing the operated limb (fur shaving, washing), anesthetic was administered to the animal. The operation field was treated and closed reduction of fragment was performed. Two rods 6 were inserted into the bone into proximal and distal epiphyses. The rods 6 were fastened in the single unit 4, moderate compression was applied to the site of the fracture, and additional anchors were inserted. Diameter of the inserted anchors was selected according to size of the animals, and the single unit 4 was used as the anchor holder. When the radial plates 5 were used, at first the system was installed, then manual fragment reduction was performed, and after that the rods were inserted. The single unit 4 was used as the anchor holder.
