Definitions
- This invention relates to urinary drainage systems
- US. Pat. Nos. 3,419,009 granted Dec. 31, 1968, and 3,429,314 granted Feb. 25, 1969, to R. E. Ericson disclose modified Foley catheters having at one end thereof a vacuum breaking device consisting of a filtered air vent for entrance of bacteria-free air into the lumen of the catheters.
- US. Pat. No. 3,598,124 granted Aug. 10, 1971, to H. W. Anderson, et al. discloses a T-shaped catheter adapter for a urinary drainage system comprising a ventingmeans in the form of a flutter valve in the T of the adapter
- US. Pat. No. 3,690,315 granted Sept. 12,1972, to R. M. Chittenden, et al. discloses a tubular adapter having a filtered opening disposed inan endwall of. an enlarged chamber or tubular sleeve portion thereof.
- the primary object of the present invention is to provide a relatively inexpensive, readily usable catheter adapter having a filtered air vent of increased. area relative to those known in the prior art;
- the aperture in the sidewall of the sleeve only extends a predetermined distance along the axial length of the sleeve.
- One of the two tubes extends into the sleeve across the entire length of the aperture in. its sidewall and is adapted at the opposite end for engagement with a urinary drainage catheter.
- the second tube has one end in communication with'the interior of the sleeve and is adapted at the other end for engagement with the proximal end of a drainage tube that is joined at its distal end to a urine collection container.
- a consecutive urine flow path through the catheter, catheter adapterand drainage tube into the urine collection container is provided remote from the filtered aperture in the sidewall of the adapter, whereby that filtered aperture can admit filtered, atmospheric air into the flow path in the vicinity of the proximal end of the drainage tube without being directly in contact with the urine flow.
- FIG. 1 is a top view of one embodiment of the catheter adapter of the present invention
- FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view along the line 22 in FIG. 1 of the adapter thereof;
- FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view along the line 3--3 in FIG. 1 of the adapter thereof.
- FIG. 1 shows generally an integral catheter adapter 9 comprising a preferred embodiment of the present invention.
- Catheter adapter 9 can be made of any suitable materials including metals and. plastics and, preferably, is made of acrylonitrilebutadienestyrene terpolymer.
- the catheter adapter 9 comprises a first tube 11 which is joined to a second tube 13 by a tu bular sleeve 15.
- Tubular sleeve 15 has endwalls l7 and 19 each with an aperture therethrough providing an entrance into the interior of tubular sleeve 15. While tubular sleeve 15 is shown as being cylindri cal in FIG. 1, it may have other configurations as well.
- tubes 11 and 13 are, shown in FIG. 1 to be coaxial with sleeve 15, they may be eccentric to each other, if so desired.
- Tubular sleeve 15 has a third aperture 21 disposed in its sidewall and covered by a bacteria filtering material through which air can pass, but body fluids cannot.
- Aperture 21 can be covered by a hydrophobic filtering material such as Gelman ANH-450 material that has been insert molded into sleeve 15 by techniques well known in the fabricating art.
- aperture 21 extends around the entire circumference of sleeve and is defined by a plurality of ribs 23. However, if desired, aperture 21 can occupy only a portion of the perimeter of sleeve 15. Aperture 21 does not extend the entire axial length of sleeve 15, but instead distally terminates at a predetermined distance axially from first endwall 17.
- Tube 11 has one end inserted into sleeve 15 through the aperture in endwall 17 and extending therein a distance at least substantially equal to the predetermined distance from endwall 17 at which aperture 21 terminates.
- the other end of tube 11 is adapted for engagement with a urinary drainage catheter. Therefore, if desired, at least a portion of tube 11 can be tapered in the direction axially opposite sleeve 15, thereby adapting tube 11 to complement a plurality of catheter sizes.
- Tube 13 has one end thereof in communication with the interior of tubular sleeve 15 through the aperture of endwall 19 and the opposite end thereof adapted for engagement with the proximal end of a urinary drainage tube which is joined at its distal end to a urine collection container.
- the end of tube 13 in communication with the interior of tubular sleeve 15 is spaced from the inserted end of tube 11 a distance suitable to allow atmospheric air passing through aperture 21 to readily enter tube 13.
- catheter adapter 9 when employed in a urinary drainage system, catheter adapter 9 provides a consecutive flow path from the catheter, through catheter adapter 9 into the urinary drainage tube and container. That consecutive flow path is remote from the filtered aperture 21 which is adapted to admit filtered, atmospheric air into the flow path in the vicinity of the proximal end of the urinary drainage tube which tube 13 is adapted to receive.
- catheter adapter 9 has a tubular sleeve 15 which in the vicinity of endwall 19 has its inner diameter tapered toward the aperture in endwall 19 to form a funnel.
- integral catheter adapter 9 has been described as three discrete parts joined together by means well known to those skilled in the fabricating art, it will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art that adapter 9 could be fabricated from only two parts or molded as one integral part.
- An integral tubular adapter for use in a urinary drainage system, said adapter comprising first and second tubes joined solely by a tubular sleeve,
- tubular sleeve having first and second endwalls each with an aperture therethrough, and a third aperture disposed in its sidewall and covered by a bacteria filtering material through which air can pass but body fluids cannot, said third aperture terminating a predetermined distance axially from said first endwall, said first tube having one end thereof continuously open to air passed through said third aperture and extending into said sleeve through said aperture of said first endwall a distance at least substantially equal to said predetermined distance from said first endwall at which said third aperture terminates, said first tube having its outer end adapted for engagement with a urinary drainage catheter; and
- said second tube having one end in communication with said aperture of said second endwall of said sleeve and the other end thereof adapted for engagement with the proximal end of a drainage tube joined at its distal end to a urine collection container,
