Description

  The present invention refers to self urination when a woman who is unable to urinate by her own urine remains in the bladder due to a neurogenic bladder or the like, and then urinates by inserting a thin urinary catheter through the urethral opening, Because the genital area, especially the urethral orifice, is in a position that is very difficult to see directly by the person himself, many women are struggling to insert a urinary catheter into the urethral opening. An invention of an instrument that integrates a Kagami / Penlight / Clip, inserts it into the toilet seat frame of a Western-style toilet with a clip, makes it easy to see the urethral opening that is difficult to see with Kagami, and facilitates insertion of a urinary catheter is there.

  Even the first preparation to perform self-urination has troublesome preparation work such as a urinary catheter, disinfectant, lubricant, clean cotton, standing sword, pen rai, container for receiving urine, measuring cup, etc. The toilet seats, chairs and folded cushions are shallow and the stool is shallowly widened to perform self-conduction, but if these preparations are included, it takes 20 to 30 minutes each time and effort, and this treatment is performed 4 times a day. It is necessary to do ~ 5 times. The present invention aims to simplify these operations.

In addition, the procedure when a girl self-guides urine is as follows.
(B) Prepare a urinary catheter, antiseptic solution, lubricant, clean cotton, standing sword, penlight, measuring cup, container for receiving urine (basin), etc.
(B) Wash or wipe your fingers thoroughly with clean cotton.
(C) Sit shallowly on a Western-style toilet or chair, cushion, etc., widen your legs, and stand up so that you can see the urethral opening.
(D) It is absolutely necessary to prevent infection by spreading the labia with one hand and wiping the urethra mouth with clean cotton with the other hand downward (front to back).
(E) Remove the urinary catheter from the case (the catheter case contains a disinfectant mixed with glycerin and isodine) and prepare for insertion (if necessary, apply a lubricant to the tip of the catheter.
(F) Spread the labia with one hand, and gently insert it into the urethral opening with the other hand (the dominant hand is good) holding the catheter like a pencil, but it may be inserted into the vagina by mistake.
(G) Urine comes out when the catheter is inserted 4 to 5 cm from the urethral orifice. From there, the catheter is further advanced 1 to 2 cm to urinate.
(H) After urination, gently remove the catheter, wash it, and insert it into the case described above.
This is an invention for trying to solve the problems of these operations.

There are various reasons why urination cannot be performed. Urinary stenosis obstructs urine flow, pelvic organ surgery damages bladder nerves, cerebral infarction, lumbar hernia and spinal cord injury prevents command from the brain and information from the bladder from being transmitted There are various causes such as neurogenic bladder. It is very necessary to keep the urine collected in the bladder in order to protect the function of the kidneys. Urine is constantly produced from the kidneys and is stored in the bladder through the ureter. What happens if the urine in the bladder cannot drain out of the body? The pressure inside the bladder rises, making it impossible to send urine from the kidneys. Your kidneys will then swell up and you will no longer be able to produce urine. Also, if the urine is always in the bladder, bacteria will propagate. In order to protect the function of the kidneys, it is necessary to drain urine out of the body at regular intervals. If it is difficult to urinate, a catheter may be placed in the bladder and a urine collection bag may be worn for living. However, if the catheter is left in place for a long time, you have to worry about atrophic bladder and urinary tract infection.
If you can self-conduit, you can expand and contract the bladder by repeating urine collection (retaining urine) and repeating urination, and you can live in a state close to normal urination function. In addition, since there is no need to wear a urine collection bag, there are fewer restrictions on behavior and life.

  Making it easier for women to do their own daily urination will lead to a healthy life, and in order to simplify the preparation and self urine work mentioned above, the angle is changed to a long and thin metal plate.
