Abstract

A urine collection bag 1 is made from flexible material and fitted with a connector 6 comprising components 7 and 9 coupled together through a hole 8 in the bag such that the flexible material of the bag is trapped between them to form a watertight seal. The bag may be ruptured by applying moderate force to provide a drainage aperture by pulling out the connector. The connector may be assembled with the bag during manufacture by mounting the components on a jig 15, Fig 6. <IMAGE>

Description

A URINE COLLECTION & TRANSPORTATION DEVICE & METHOD OF MANUFACTURE This invention relates to a urine collection device for collecting, transporting and disposing of urine more safely and conveniently, with reduced risk of spillage and/or crossinfection, and a method of manufacturing said device.
It is often necessary for a medical or surgical patient's urine to be drained continuously into a receptacle such as a plastic bag, known as a catheter bag, through a urethral or suprapubic catheter located in the patient's bladder, for periods of time ranging from a few hours to several days or even longer. The catheter bags used for this purpose are available in a wide variety of styles, sizes and shapes, however, the most commonly used versions are fitted with a means of emptying such as a valve or tap and are intended to remain in place connected to the catheter for several days if required, being emptied via the valve or tap by nursing staff on a regular basis to ensure that the catheter bag does not become completely full and either overflow, burst, or allow urine to back up into the catheter and bladder.
It is important to ensure that the patient's urine is not allowed to contaminate the nurse or carer emptying the catheter bag, or for another patient to be contaminated by the use of a common collecting device such as a jug or bed pan which has been inadequately cleaned and sterilised from one patient's use to the next. It is also important in most cases to measure the volume of urine collected and to record the measurement on the patients medical notes. A still further requirement is that the procedure should take up the minimum of nursing time commensurate with safety in the handling of a potentially infectious liquid.
There are a variety of different procedures employed for emptying catheter bags utilising both reusable and disposable collecting devices for the purpose of transporting the urine from the site of emptying to the sluice room or other disposal area. In some cases a plastic or metal jug or similar vessel may be used and the urine draining from the catheter bag will inevitably splash from the surface of the urine in the jug as it fills or from the walls of the jug or even miss the mouth of the jug altogether if insufficient care is taken , causing contamination of the hands of the nurse and of the floor beneath the jug.In other cases a second catheter bag of the type without a tap and with narrow bore inlet tubing welded permanently into the top of the bag may be used in an attempt to keep the urine enclosed during collection and transportation, but this type of bag is costly and drains the urine very slowly both on collection and when discharged. To provide for faster emptying nurses may cut the top of this type of bag to provide a larger outlet, but the scissors or other cutting devices used will inevitably become contaminated, forming in themselves a further potential source of cross-contamination and infection if inadequately cleaned and sterilised before being used for some other nursing procedure such as dressing a wound.
The# present invention is intended to improve on the performance and versatility of such devices and to provide a collecting device which can be manufactured more cheaply and conveniently by a method which is also novel.
The 'present invention alleviates to a great extent -the disadvantages of prior devices by providing a disposable collecting device for urine in the form of a bag made from a flexible material to which is fitted a connector comprising at least two portions, a first portion of which is assembled within the bag during construction such that it is connected through a hole in the bag to a second portion which is substantially outside the bag, in a manner which not only forms a watertight seal at the site of the hole by trapping the film tightly around the first and between# the first and second portions of the connector but also provides for the whole connector assembly to be torn out from the top of the bag to make a larger aperture through which the collection device may be emptied, the bag being otherwise sealed on all sides to provide a watertight container.
It is an objective of the present invention to provide a urine collecting device.
It is another objective of the present invention to provide a urine collecting device for safely transporting urine from the site of emptying a catheter bag to the site of disposal.
It is a further object of the present invention to provide a urine collecting device which can be used to determine the volume of urine collected by means of a printed scale on the surface of the device.
It is yet another object of the present invention to provide a urine collecting device which can be quickly and safely emptied in the disposal area without requiring to be cut to provide an opening through which the urine may be poured, the device being emptied by tearing the connector through the hole in the bag film to provide a sufficiently large hole for fast, efficient discharge.
It is yet another object of the present invention to provide a collecting device yielding the foregoing advantages and that is simply and economically constructed.
Specific embodiments of the device and its method of manufacture will now be described by way of example, with reference to the accompanying drawings in which: Figure 1 is a perspective view of the connector components and flexible bag prior to assembly.
Figure 2 is a perspective view of the connector components and flexible bag after assembly.
Figure 3 is a view taken along section line I/I in Figure 2.
Figure 4 is a perspective view of the assembled and sealed collection device ready for use.
Figure 5 is a perspective view of the finished product after rupture of the hole in the bag material.
Figure 6 is a perspective view of a suitable jig for assisting in the manufacture of the device.
Referring now to Figures 1-3 there is shown a collection bag 1 made from a material such as polyethylene film in the form of a seamless tube sealed at one end 2 and unsealed at the other end 3, being of a capacity in excess of 2 litres and printed with a measuring scale 4 to indicate the volume of liquid from a reference line 5 situated towards the unsealed end 3 of the collection bag. There is also shown in Figures 1 - 3 a connector generally designated by reference numeral 6 comprising a first component 7 which is fitted within the collection bag 1 through a hole 8 and a second component 9 which is adapted at one end 12 to fit snugly over the protruding portion of the first component 7 on the outside of the bag and is adapted at the other end 13 to fit a wide variety of commonly used catheter bag outlets. The first component 7 of the connector 6 is made from relatively rigid plastic material such as polyethylene and has a barbed portion 10 designed to hold the second portion 9 firmly in place without the risk of becoming detached in use and without the use of adhesive, and a flange portion 11 whose dimensions prevent the first component 7 from easily passing through the hole 8 when in use but which dimensions are not so large as to impede the process of rupture when the bag is required to be emptied. The second component 9 is made from a more flexible and deformable plastic material such as PVC in shore hardness grade 70 or a food grade rubber of similar shore hardness.
emptied. The second component 9 is made from a more flexible and deformable plastic material such as PVC in shore hardness grade 70 or a food grade rubber of similar shore hardness.
Referring now to Figure 4, there is a shown a collection bag 1 with a seal 14 achieved by fusing together the walls of the collection bag by means of heat to provide a watertight container.
Referring now to Figure 5, there is shown a collection bag 1 after the rupture of the hole 8 achieved by pulling the connector 6 whilst supporting the end 2 of the collection bag against the force being applied.
Referring now to Figure 6, there is shown a suitable jig for assisting in the manufacture of the collection bag 1, generally designated by reference numeral 15 and comprising a vertical spike 16, a flange 17 and fins 18, with a base 19.
The spike 16 is adapted to allow the first connector component 7 to fit snugly over it with the flange portion 11 of the first connector component resting on the flange 17 and with the tip of the spike 20 protruding from the barbed portion 10 of the connector component.
The tip of the spike 16 is so designed that it will puncture the wall of the collection bag 1 to form the hole 8 when the collection bag is drawn over the spike with the first connector component 7 already in place and is further intended to stretch the plastic film around the hole 8 allowing it to pass easily into place over the barbed portion 10 of the connector component.
The second connector component 9 is then assembled to the first connector component 7 by pushing it firmly into place over the barbed portion 10 until the end 12 abutts the flange portion 11 thus trapping the stretched plastic film around the hole 8.
The assembled collection bag 1 is then removed from the jig and the seal 14 ac#hieved by separate welding means (not shown) well known to those versed in the art of plastics fabrication.
