Description

The invention relates to a urinal terminal for male incontinent patients. The terminal has a circumferential groove on its surface to receive the fastening bandage. A frustoconical sealing membrane surface is provided at the end face of the terminal with external shaped reinforcing collars. The urinal terminal is intended for recumbent patients, of course it is possible to use it in all incontinence patients.

The invention relates to a urinal terminal for incontinent patients with a conical sealing membrane and a modified bandage attachment portion for attachment to the patient's body.

The device initially used consisted of introducing an internal caliber through the ureter into the bladder. Their use or possible connection with urine collectors is possible only for a short time and only in lying patients, after surgery or in emergency cases. Prolonged use causes pain and the possibility of introducing infection into the bladder and greatly limits the patient's mobility.

Later, a device was developed consisting of a collar and a urine collection pouch attached thereto. Its use for patients was also very difficult and inconvenient. The device was made from a massive, hard-to-adapt rubber that did not prevent urine backflow along the penis skin, causing an infectious disease in the form of a painful rash.

Devices of this type are described, for example, in the following patents: U.S. Pat. 3,788,324, 3,749,096, 3,742,953, Germany 2,911,052 and 2,249,132.

In recent years, the use of removable urinals has been developed, as described, for example, in U.S. Patent Nos. 3,394,703, 3,489,150, 3,520,305, 3,526,227, 3,660,552, 3,661,156, 3,721,243, 4,022 213,

The device is designed in the form of a condom with a urine outlet at its end. This outlet is also usually connected to a collection bag or urine container.

The main drawback of this device is that there is a risk of urine backflow. The device is sensitive to bursting and rupture, whereby urine can escape. A plastic belt is required to fix it, or a plaque is used to secure it. Here too, prolonged use leads to skin and rash infections in patients, especially those lying down.

According to DOS 2,742,298, the urinal is formed in the form of a sleeve, threaded onto the incontinent penis. The collar is provided with an outlet for emptying the urine into the reservoir, the collar being provided with an inflatable or deflatable ring which pushes against the penis, thereby preventing urine leakage and supporting the fixation of the device in the ready position. The disadvantage of the device is the necessity of post-blowing after every new insertion of the terminal.

U.S. Pat. No. 4,022,213 discloses a urinal terminal which is attached by patents to a small band. The tip also forms a reservoir of urine. The inner diaphragm with a slotted flap prevents backflow of urine. After filling, the entire end piece is detached from the belt and the urine is discharged through the drain hole. A considerable disadvantage of this device is the accumulation of urine directly in the vicinity of the penis, which, in addition to the aforementioned drawbacks, does not have an aesthetic effect either.

Another solution known from ΑΌ 200,851 discloses a device for collecting and draining urine formed from silicone rubber. The advantage of this device is the placement of the urine reservoir on the calf of the patient, which improves the aesthetic appearance, reduces the risk of infection and simplifies emptying. A disadvantage of the device is the use of an annular sealing membrane which causes pressure on the penis and is highly susceptible to rupture. The device is designed for disabled, partially moving patients, for whom the device fully satisfies. It also fulfills its function in the case of the most frequent product failure, ie when the sealing membrane breaks. Due to this most common defect and inappropriate design of the entire urinal end piece, it was not possible to use it in lying patients. The solution with a rigidly attached brain-shaped diaphragm with internal reinforcement is a problematic part of the product according to AO No. 200 851. In order to prolong its lifetime and thus the whole product was manufactured with greater thickness and using harder materials that better withstand aggressive environment. ). The manufacturing adjustments made the use of urinals unpleasant for patients. The membrane was less conformable and caused pressure sores on the patient's body. With the prior design of the urinal terminal designed in accordance with AO 200 851 and the manufacturing method, it was practically impossible to replace the damaged membrane. Just for lying patients it was necessary to choose another more suitable solution of the urinal terminal, which would eliminate the disadvantages of the known solutions.

The urinal terminal for male incontinent patients, provided with a sealing membrane and provided with an anchorage portion of the bandage for fastening to the patient's body, is that the urinal terminal has a collar at its upper end with a circumferential groove for receiving the bandage perpendicular to the axis of the urinal terminal. wherein a frustoconical sealing membrane is attached to the perpendicular surface of the urinal terminal, extending in its widened portion in the annular ring and provided with reinforcing flanges on its surface. The tip of the invention provides urine removal even when the patient is lying down. Another advantage of the proposed shape of the urinal terminal is the possibility of using more progressive production technology, which enables substantial production of the urinal terminal production. Instead of a manual manufacturing method on mandrels, a molding method is used. An exemplary embodiment of a urinal terminal according to the invention is shown in the attached drawing.

Giant. 1 is a cross-sectional view of the urinal terminal. The actual urinal terminal 1 is provided with a tapered portion for receiving the drainage tube 9. A groove 3 is formed directly on the urinal terminal 1 for receiving the fastening bandage 4. On the front of the collar 2 of the urinal terminal 1 is formed a surface 5 for the sealing membrane 6

In the shape of a truncated cone with an annular ring 7. Shaped reinforcing collars 8 are produced on the sealing membrane 6 to achieve a better sealing effect and to increase the mechanical strength.

By changing the shape of the sealing diaphragm, the point-like method of sealing is now changed to flat. Modifications made to the diaphragm ensure better adaptability, making the use more comfortable

urinals. The extension of the lower end of the urinal terminal allows the use of the urinals for recumbent patients along with the new membrane design. The design of the collar with a groove ensures a two-sided attachment of the fastening bandage, allows to reduce the diameter of the urinal terminal and thereby to save the imported material.
