Abstract

Urine collection apparatus is provided which can be used to assist bedridden and/or incontinent patients, particularly female patients. The apparatus includes a urine collector which is shaped for location against the perineal region of a patient adjacent the urethra. The urine collector comprises a hollow body having opposed ends in which an inlet for air and an outlet for air and urine are formed, respectively. The body has a central region between the end regions with a reduced cross-sectional area. This effectively creates a venturi adjacent the patient's urethra when air passes through the collector.
The apparatus includes a urine receptacle with an inlet for receiving air and urine from the collector, and an outlet for air which is connectable to a source of low pressure. The source of low pressure will typically be an impeller driven by an electric motor, which creates a sufficiently strong air flow through the apparatus to entrain urine and transport it to the receptacle.

Claims (9)

1. Urine collection apparatus comprising:
a urine collector shaped for location against the perineal region of a patient adjacent the urethra, the urine collector having an inlet for air and an outlet for air and urine; and a urine receptacle having an inlet for receiving air and urine from the urine collector, and an outlet for air which is connectable to a source of low pressure, wherein the urine collector is shaped to define a venturi between the inlet and the outlet thereof, the venturi being locatable adjacent the patient's urethra when the urine collector is correctly located, so that air passing through the inlet of the urine collector entrains urine for delivery to the urine receptacle.
2. Urine collection apparatus according to claim 1 wherein the urine collector is shaped for use by a female patient.
3. Urine collection apparatus according to claim 1 wherein the urine collector comprises a hollow body having opposed ends in which the inlet and the outlet are formed, the urine collector having first and second end regions and a central region between the end regions having a cross sectional area less than that of the end regions.
4. Urine collection apparatus according to claim 1 wherein the urine collector is formed from a flexible plastics material.
5. Urine collection apparatus according to claim 1 including a source of low pressure in the form of an impeller or pump arranged to apply suction to the outlet of the urine collector when the inlet of the urine receptacle is connected to the outlet of the urine collector, thereby to cause an airflow through the urine collector.
6. Urine collection apparatus according to claim 5 wherein the source of low pressure comprises an impeller arranged to be driven by an electric motor and located in a housing, the urine receptacle being locatable in an opening defined in the housing so that the outlet of the urine receptacle is in communication with an air inlet of the impeller.
7. A urine collector suitable for use with the apparatus of claim 1, the urine collector being shaped for Location against the perineal region of a patient adjacent the urethra and comprising a hollow body defining an inlet for air and an outlet for air and urine, wherein the body is shaped to define a venturi between the inlet and the outlet thereof, the venturi being locatable adjacent the patient's urethra when the urine collector is correctly located.
8. A urine collector according to claim 7 wherein the body has opposed ends in which the inlet and the outlet are formed, the urine collector having first and second end regions and a central region between the end regions having a cross sectional area less than that of the end regions.
9. A urine collector according to claim 7 or claim 8 wherein the body is formed from a flexible plastics material.
