Description

[Detailed description of the invention] name of invention urine excretion device Technical field The present invention relates to a device for use in draining urine from the urethral meatus of an incontinent woman to a urine collection container. do.

Background of the invention Many women lack good urinary control and are chronically unable to control their urinary output. I'm here. This is unusual for older and permanently paralyzed women. It's not a state. In other cases, women are unable to normally control their urine output. However, since they are temporarily bedridden, they cannot urinate properly into a urine collection device. We cannot take for granted that we can adopt a posture that allows us to do things. same A similar situation also exists for newborn girls. In other words, the amount of urine they excrete is , cannot be accurately measured by medical personnel unless all of their urine is collected.

These days, this is accomplished by measuring the weight of the wet diaper. death However, this may be an inaccurate urine collection technique when examining urine samples. It's not very useful.

Since internal catheters cannot be used effectively except in cases of severe incontinence, external catheters are recommended. Urine or urine excretion devices have been devised for women. Such examples include US patent numbers. No. 2゜556.102.8,995,329.4.484,917, and 4. 681.572. However, these are also largely temporary It is designed for use. Generally, they cover the vulva or perineum. Designed to spread out, so they have no leakage with the vulva or perineum % form a sealing part. The discomfort created must be endured virtually constantly. It's a good thing. i.e., newborn girls or chronically incontinent women. External catheters or urine evacuation devices are not effective for long-term users. .

Recently, as shown in US Patent No. 4.496.855, female urinary excretion The device is designed to reduce discomfort during use and can be used on a long-term basis. It will be possible. This device is smaller than other devices and is designed not to cover the vagina. It is. That is, the sachet has a knob to provide a double seal to the body's tissues. It has a dollar-shaped outer shape. During use, the urethral opening is inflated with the device and part of the device is placed so that it protrudes from the fold of the major labia. The level of discomfort will be reduced However, substantial pressure continues to be exerted on the vulva. That is, the user is always be aware of the existence of Furthermore, the device does not shift into position and leaks are formed. 11- to create sufficient pressure to hold the urethral meatus over the meatus without causing A nes (skin strap) must be placed around the abdomen.

Therefore, it is possible to successfully achieve minimal leakage and to wear comfortably for a long period of time. A urinary excretion device that puts little pressure on the surrounding body tissue allows for incontinent women. It will be understood that there is still a need for it to be used more vividly. . The present invention is primarily directed to providing such a urinary excretion device.

Summary of the invention In a preferred form of the invention, the urinary excretion device comprises a urethral orifice surrounding the urethral meatus and a primary vulva. The size and size are rooted in a natural structure located between the lips and known as the anterior chamber. Consisting of the shape of a body cavity that is used vividly by incontinent women provided as follows.

The device has a body that roughly matches the size and shape of the vestibule. This kind of shape is , inside the body cavity so as not to exert substantial pressure on the tissues in contact with the body cavity. This ensures a secure stop and no leakage. The main body of the device together with the - hole through which urine flows into the collection container.

In another preferred form of the invention, the urinary excretion device is actively used by an incontinent woman. provided for use.

The device has a generally planar or slightly convex front wall with a generally oblong perimeter. The side wall group extends from the periphery of the body around the cavity of the body. - extend towards each other towards the posterior edge around the sinus. The above body is inside- a hole extending from the front wall to the cavity.

Figure 4 shows an external front view of a woman's crotch with the tube shown with the device protruding from the body. anatomy diagram, Figure 5 is partially expanded to reveal the underlying body organs and tissues. Anatomical diagram of the female vulva and perineum with major labial folds, Figure 6 shows how the device is held in place by the surrounding body tissue. FIG.

Detailed explanation As shown in detail with reference to the drawings, Figure 5 highlights the underlying body organs and tissues. the hidden labia known as the labia majora, which are shown partially spread apart to reveal the labia; Showing a female vulva with folds. The accessory labia surround the accessory recess known as the anterior chamber. It is shown as follows. The bottom of the anterior chamber is formed by the urethral opening surrounding the urethral meatus. Ru. Also, the vagina is positioned within the border of the labia accessory and below the anterior chamber. here, Since the anterior chamber is a sub-recess, there is a wallless area immediately below the main labia; The lateral walls of the chamber appear to extend to the major labia in determining its shape and size. Ru. Here, a very small part of the labia labiae is removed substantially from the lips of the natural anterior chamber. It may also be present as an extending - wall piece.

Referring to FIGS. 1 and 2, the urinary excretion device 10, as defined, includes: It can be seen that it has a - body 11 that approximately matches the size and shape of the vestibule. Main body 1 1 is a relatively hard core 1 of -1 covered by a relatively soft outer shell 14 of -1 Consisting of a two-piece construction with 3 and -.

Core 13 consists of relatively hard plastic. The nucleus 13 is relatively soft after installation [1, The paddle is immersed in a melted emulsion forming the outer surface 814.

The main body 11 is slightly convex so that it rests smoothly on the main labia, but it is almost flat. The main body 11 has a front wall 16 having a thin outer surface, and the circumference 16 of the main body 11 is approximately oval in shape. has been marked. A continuous group of side walls 17 extends from the front wall around the cavity 18 to the cavity. 18 extends rearwardly to a trailing edge 19 . Although not readily apparent in these drawings, the side The walls 17 are extended to the rear edge 19 so that they match the size and shape of the side walls of the anterior chamber. As they extend toward each other, they gradually approach each other. The front wall 16 is the main body cavity 18 A fairly rigid plastic tube 20 is inserted into the hole. They are tightly fitted and crimped.

For use, the folds of the major labia are widened and the area is cleaned. Next, excretory clothing The uppermost point close to the clitoris has a more pointed end, and the body cavity. 18 and a posterior edge 19 facing the urethral meatus and is positioned within the anterior chamber. In Figure 4 As shown, release of the labia major causes the labia major to fold against the front wall around canal 20. Ru. Although not shown, next, a long and freely bendable discharge pipe is made of a rigid material. It may be placed telescopically at the end. The drain tube terminates in a conventional urine collection bag. messenger If the user is ambulatory, the drain tube is a flexible collection bag strapped over the leg. end with.

Urinary excretion devices of the type just described are unsuitable for both bedridden and ambulatory women. It has been found to work well without providing pleasure, displacement, or significant leakage. Up The device is held comfortably in place by the side walls of the anterior chamber and by the very by a small part, by the urethral opening, and by the major labia.

For adults, the body 11 preferably has an overall outer length of 35 mm and a maximum length of 21 mm. It has a large outer width. The inside of the trailing edge 19 is preferably 21.　mm　Maximum width is 12m It is m length. For infants, the inner diameter of the trailing edge 19 is preferably at most 7.5 mrn wide. , 12mm long. For children between the ages of 5 and 12, the inner diameter of the cavity 18 is It has a maximum width of 11rnm and a length of 13mm. Also, if necessary, - holes and A circumferential cover formed with a belt is provided with a tube 20 projecting through the hole. It's okay. This is usually not required unless the user is very old. stomach. The presence of the cavity 18 is based on the collision of the urine flow, since the force of the urine flow is dispersed. It can be seen that the chances of moving the equipment are reduced.

That is, the urinary excretion apparatus consists of relatively simple and economical components that can be used for long or short periods of time. provided that it can be used effectively without discomfort based on either That is understood. Of course, the embodiment just described is in its preferred form merely a book. The inventive concept is merely illustrative, and the inventive concept is described in the following claims. Deviation from vision and scope 1. Any embodiment may be made unless otherwise specified.
