Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

[0001]

Industrial Applicability The present invention is mainly used in a test for detecting fecal occult blood which is a primary screening for colorectal cancer screening.
The present invention relates to a stool collection stick for collecting feces.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Stool collection in fecal occult blood testing is mainly performed with a stool collection stick, but in the past, a scoop-shaped stick or a spatula-shaped one with a bent tip has been used. However, these have the disadvantage that stool cannot be collected quantitatively, and in order to improve this, various devices such as Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 64-48672 have been made and put to practical use.

[0003] These improvement proposals have a structure in which a vertical rod-shaped stick has a groove, unevenness or a fine hole as a feces holding portion at the tip thereof, and the tip of the stick is pierced into the feces and the feces adhere to the feces holding portion. It is designed so that a certain amount of feces can be collected by removing excess feces by wiping with paper or the like.

[0004]

It is said that bleeding from the large intestine mainly adheres to the surface of the stool mass, and it is said that it is desirable to collect the stool sample used for the test of fecal occult blood from the surface of the stool mass. However, if the stool collection stick attempts to collect from the surface of the stool mass, the stick must be parallel to the surface of the stool mass, and the hand is likely to touch the stool mass during operation. Also, because the stool holding part is on both the front and back surfaces of the tip of the stick, or on the entire peripheral surface of the tip part, in order to attach the stool to all the stool holding parts,
Operation such as changing the stick on the way is required, which is very inconvenient.

[0005]

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, in the present invention, the stool collection stick is bent halfway, and a stool holding portion is provided at the outer end of the bent surface. Since the stool collection stick is bent, it is possible to make the stool holding part parallel to the stool surface and scrape the surface, and at that time the stool comes into contact with the hand because the distance between the stool and the hand is wide Can be prevented. In addition, there is no need to change the stick because the fecal holding part is only on one side.

[0006]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a side view of a stick main body, (1) is a handle portion, and the main body is bent from a portion (3). Tip
In (2), a groove is provided on the outside of the bent surface as a fecal holding part (4). Hold the stick handle (1) when collecting feces,
The stool holding part (4) is in contact with the surface of the stool mass so that it is parallel to the surface of the stool mass.
(4) Attach to. Excess feces adhering to portions other than the grooves are wiped off with paper or the like and removed.

[0007]

The present invention has the advantage that when collecting feces in a fecal occult blood test, the feces can be easily collected without soiling the hands from the surface portion of the fecal mass and without having to change the stick.
