Definitions

  • the present disclosure relates to urine collection and/or monitoring systems and, more particularly, to a device for forming an adjustable drain tube loop for use with urine collection systems.
  • Urine collection and/or monitoring systems are well known and are commonly used to collect urine from a catheterized patient.
  • Urine collection systems consist of a catheter operably connected to a patient, a fluid reservoir for collecting the fluid and a drain tube connecting the catheter with the reservoir.
  • urine collection system are employed prior to, during and following many surgical procedures, especially where the patient is not ambulatory or is not coherent enough to negotiate the facilities normally.
  • Drain tubes are manufactured in standard lengths with sufficient excess tubing to allow for repositioning of the attached patient. Fasteners positioned on each end of a standard drain tubes prevents the tubes themselves from being shortened.
  • Urine meters and fluid reservoirs are generally secured to the bed frame or bed rail near the patient.
  • the drain tube originates at the catheter end connected to a patient positioned horizontally in the bed.
  • the drain tube may hang off the edge of the bed and fall below the frame of the bed before returning uphill to empty into the fluid reservoir ( FIG. 1 ).
  • This drain tube configuration forces urine to flow against gravity and creates back pressure on the patient's bladder.
  • the 4-8′′ of urodynamic resting bladder pressure produced by the bladder of a supine patient cannot overcome this back pressure. This back pressure can restrict urine flow and potentially cause patient discomfort, bladder distension, leakage, etc.
  • a clip for forming a selectively adjustable loop in a drain tube.
  • the clip includes a base and at least one pair of arms extending from the base. The arms form an inner gripping surface configured to adjustably retain at least a first section of a drain tube in an adjacent relationship to a second section of the drain tube.
  • the clip may also include a means for fastening the clip to a bed or bed sheets, e.g., a fastener loop, a safety pin, a secondary clip, etc.
  • a device for maintaining an adjustable loop in a drain tube of a urine collection system which includes a base defining at least one recess for retaining first and second sections of a drain tube in an adjacent relationship to one another.
  • the device may include a means for fastening the device to a bed or bed sheets.
  • the base may define two recesses for slidably retaining the first and second sections of the drain tube in adjacent relationship to one another.
  • a drain tube for use with a urine collection system which includes a tube forming a loop wherein two sections of the tube are in an adjacent relationship to one another and a retaining device configured to adjustably retain the two sections of the tube in adjacent relationship to one another.
  • the device is selected from the group consisting of a clip, band, or multiple bands.
  • the device may also include a means for fastening the loop to a bed or bed sheets. The means for fastening the loop can be formed integral with the retaining device.
  • a method of preventing back pressure from forming in a drain tube of a urine collection and/or monitoring system includes the steps of providing a drain tube having an adjustable loop formed therein, and positioning the adjustable loop horizontally above an inlet to the urine collection and/or monitoring system.

  • Catheter end 13 of drain tube 12 is configured to operably connect with a catheter (not shown) attached to or positioned within a patient.
  • Connection end 15 is configured to operably connect to port 17 of fluid reservoir 16 .
  • Port 17 is positioned on the top of reservoir 16 .
  • Fluid reservoir 16 is secured to bed frame 18 by support 19 in a location corresponding to the position of the patient.
  • drain tube 12 is longer than would be sufficient to connect a patient positioned horizontally in the bed with fluid reservoir 16 .
  • Urine collection system 10 employs the conventional practice of allowing the excess slack 14 a in drain tube 12 to fall below the port 17 of fluid reservoir 16 .
  • the urine must travel uphill to empty into fluid reservoir 16 through port 17 .
  • a back pressure results from the urine having to travel against gravity in order to empty into reservoir 16 .
  • the resulting back pressure can lead to serious complications including patient discomfort, bladder distension, and meatal leakage.
  • urine collection system 20 employing an adjustable drain tube loop constructed in accordance the present disclosure.
  • fluid reservoir, and/or urine meter, 16 is suspended from the bed frame 18 by support 19 .
  • drain tube 12 in urine collection system 20 is entirely maintained above port 17 of fluid reservoir 16 .
  • An adjustable loop 14 is formed in drain tube 12 with the configuration being maintained by clip 100 .
  • the effective length of drain tube 12 that is, the length of drain tube 12 between catheter end 13 and connection end 15 , excluding adjustable loop 14 , can be adjusted by varying the size of adjustable loop 14 .
  • Adjustable loop 14 permits the excess length of drain tube 12 to lay substantially flat on the bed, above port 17 of fluid reservoir 16 . In this manner, the entire length of drain tube 12 is prevented from falling below entrance port 17 of fluid reservoir 16 .
  • This configuration alleviates or minimizes the back pressure created in drain tube 12 which occurs when employing the conventional practice of allowing drain tube 12 to hang below entrance port 17 of fluid reservoir 16 .
  • Sheet clip 101 is affixed to clip 100 and secures adjustable loop 14 to the bed.
  • FIGS. 4 and 5 illustrate one embodiment of the presently disclosed adjustable loop clip shown generally as 100 .
  • Clip 100 is constructed as an integrally molded one-piece plastic clip or connector, which can be formed from metal, plastic, or the like.
  • Clip 100 includes base 102 , longitudinally opposed arms 104 and 106 extending from base 102 , and fastener hoop 110 , also extending from base 102 .
  • Opposed arms 104 , 106 are constructed and dimensioned to resiliently engage, grip and hold adjacent sections of drain tube 12 in juxtaposed or adjacent relationship to one another.
  • Each of the opposed arms 104 , 106 extend from base 102 in a mirror image relationship to one another to form an inner gripping surface 108 .
  • Gripping surface 108 defines recesses A and B configured for receiving different sections of drain tube 12 .
  • adjustable loop 14 is formed using the excess length of drain tube 12 .
  • adjustable loop 14 may be formed in drain tube 12 .
  • the resulting adjacent sections of drain tube 12 are then inserted, one each, into recesses A, B of clip 100 .
  • the initial size of loop 14 and therefore, the effective length of drain tube 12 , can be adjusted prior to inserting the respective section of drain tube 12 into recesses A, B of clip 100 .
  • a larger loop results in a shortened effective drain tube length, while a smaller loop causes the drain tube to have a longer effective length.
  • the length of drain tube 12 can be adjusted by varying the dimension of adjustable loop 14 formed in drain tube 12 .
  • Adjustable loop 14 in drain tube 12 is made smaller simply by disengaging the sections of drain tube 12 from within recesses A, B of clip 100 and pulling catheter end 13 and connector end 15 of drain tube 12 longitudinally in opposite directions.
  • the resulting smaller loop formed in drain tube 12 can be maintained by reinserting adjacent sections of drain tube 12 into recesses A, B of clip 100 .
  • Adjustable loop 14 may be made larger by pushing catheter end 13 and connector end 15 of drain tube 12 longitudinally towards one another and extending the width of adjustable loop 14 ( FIG. 8 ).
  • clip 100 may be configured to allow at least one section of drain tube 12 to be selectively positionable within at least one recess A, B. In this manner, neither section of drain tube 12 would need to be disengaged from clip 100 when varying the dimension of adjustable loop 14 .
  • Clip 100 further includes fastener hoop 110 for assisting in securing loop 14 to a patient's bed or bed sheets.
  • Fastener hoop 110 is integrally formed with base 102 .
  • Fastener hoop 110 may be used in combination with a fastening means, ie. safety pin, string, sheet tack or clip, to secure adjustable loop 14 above the horizontal plane defined by port 17 of fluid reservoir 16 .
  • sheet clip 101 is attached to fastener hoop 110 of clip 100 , permitting adjustable loop 14 to be secured to the bed sheet or other object.
  • Sheet clips and other fastening means are well known in the art and it is envisioned that fastener hoop 110 can be configured to securely engage any such known clips.
  • clip 100 may instead include a sheet clip 101 integrally formed with base 102 of clip 100 .
  • Clip 200 is substantially similar to clip 100 and will only be discussed in detail to the extent necessary to identify differences in construction and operation.
  • clip 200 includes base 202 and longitudinally opposed arms 204 and 206 extending from base 202 .
  • Opposed arms 204 , 206 are constructed and dimensioned to resiliently engage, grip and hold adjacent sections of drain tube 12 in juxtaposed or adjacent relationship to one another.
  • Each of the opposed arms 204 , 206 extend from base 202 in a mirror image relationship to one another to form an inner gripping surface 208 .
  • Gripping surface 208 defines recesses A and B configured for receiving sections of drain tube 12 .
  • clip 200 does not include a fastener loop for securing drain tube 12 to the bed or bed sheets. Therefore, an additional fastener may be used in conjunction with drain tube 12 to secure adjustable loop 14 formed drain tube 12 to the bed or bed sheets.
  • Clip 300 is substantially similar to clip 200 and will only be discussed in detail to the extent necessary to identify differences in construction and operation.
  • clip 300 includes base 302 and opposed generally C-shaped arms 304 and 306 that are constructed and dimensioned to resiliently engage, grip and hold adjacent sections of drain tube 12 in juxtaposed or adjacent relationship to another.
  • Each of the opposed generally C-shaped arms 304 , 306 have a pair of opposed flexible curvilinear arms in mirror image relationship to one another to form an inner gripping surfaces 308 , 310 .
  • clip 300 does not include a fastener for securing adjustable loop 14 of drain tube 12 to the bed or bed sheets. Therefore, an additional fastener must be included to secure drain tube 12 to the bed or bed sheets and to prevent adjustable tube 12 from falling below port 17 of fluid reservoir 16 .
  • Adjustable drain tube loop 440 is maintained by flexible band 400 .
