Definitions

  • the present invention relates generally to an improve ⁇ ment in urine incontinence systems.
  • the invention relates to apparatus operative to remove or assist in the discharge of urine from the bladders of female patients, either periodically or continuously.
  • apparatus will include a urine catheter in the form of an elongated, hollow tubular element, referred to here as a catheter tube, which is intended for insertion into the urethra or urinary tract of a female patient.
  • a urine catheter in the form of an elongated, hollow tubular element, referred to here as a catheter tube, which is intended for insertion into the urethra or urinary tract of a female patient.
  • One open end of the tube is in communication with the bladder and therewith functions as an inlet opening for urine present in the bladder.
  • the other open end of the catheter tube functions as an outlet opening through which urine passes from the bladder.
  • the catheter tube includes means by which the tube is fixated within the urethra or urinary tract.
  • Such apparatus will also include a container for collecting and storing tempora ⁇ rily the urine that drains from the bladder.
  • the con ⁇ tainer is connected to the outlet opening of the cath ⁇ eter tube, either directly or indirectly, and is provi ⁇ ded in the region of said connection with valve means which allows urine to flow in one direction from the catheter tube into the container, but which is opera ⁇ tive to prevent the flow of urine in the reverse direc ⁇ tion.
  • the lower end of the container incorporates means by which the container can be emptied.
  • Apparatus of the aforesaid kind which are intended for the removal of body fluids, particularly urine, and which thus include a drainage tube and a container for the temporary storage of body fluid that drains off are well documented in patent literature and are well known from the practical use of such apparatus in medical care establishments.
  • the present invention thus relates to a catheter tube for internal use, as distinct from commercially available urinals intended for external use.
  • An example of this latter type of catheter is described and illustrated in US-A-3,374,790.
  • An apparatus operative to drain and collect body fluids, preferably urine, is obtained through the com ⁇ bination of a known catheter tube and a known con ⁇ tainer.
  • body fluids preferably urine
  • patent literature also teaches portable urine drainage systems or apparatus (see, for instance, US-A-3,703,- 731) intended solely for use by vehicle-borne persons who may find it difficult to leave the vehicle to uri- nate in a conventional fashion.
  • the con ⁇ tainer When using conventional internal catheters, it is ne- cessary normally for the catheters to be inserted and removed by nursing personnel.
  • the con ⁇ tainer When a known urine catheter is combined with a known container, the con ⁇ tainer may be carried, for instance, on one side of the body of the person suffering from incontinence, such that urine discharged or draining from the patient's bladder will run through the catheter and into the container.
  • Urine incontinence is normally the result of weak muscles in the walls of the urethra, these muscles, which have a valve function, having been weakened by surgical operation or at birth or through some other cause. Incontinence can be reduced or al ⁇ leviated by a successive build-up of the muscle in the urethra wall. This remedy requires exercising the mus ⁇ cles involved, however.
  • the con ⁇ ventional containers are dimensioned to accommodate a relatively small volume of urine, say about 0.2-0.3 1, and are made of a flexible material. When filled or partly filled with urine, such a container becomes bulky and relatively extended and when supported along the leg of the user is highly troublesome and uncom ⁇ fortable.
  • a specific object of the present invention is to pro ⁇ vide an improved apparatus or system of the kind de ⁇ scribed in the introduction which will avoid the afore ⁇ said drawbacks with respect to catheter appliances intended for internal use by women, particularly women who suffer from incontinence.
  • the improved system is characterized in that the means by which the catheter tube is fixated in the urethra includes a first non-rigid, compliant collar which is located on the outer surface of the tube, concentrical- ly with the longitudinal axis thereof, in the region of the tube opening that coacts with the bladder, and which is intended to sealingly abut the inner wall of the urethra, and further includes a second non-rigid, compliant collar which is located adjacent to or near the outlet opening of the catheter tube, such as to form a restriction which limits the extent to which the tube can be inserted into the urethra; and is further characterized in that the urine collecting container is divided into mutually communication sections or com- partments.
  • the length of the improved catheter tube is adapted accurately to the length dimension of the fe ⁇ male urethra and the tube can be inserted into and removed from the urethra with comparative ease.
  • the rearwardly located collar also functions as a means for indicating to the user that the catheter tube has been inserted to an extent at which said collar lies in sealing abutment with the body in the region of the urethra orifice.
  • the collar which is located nearest the inlet opening of the catheter tu ⁇ be will be oriented such that the peripheral surface of the collar abuts urethra musculature and therewith ensures that an effective seal is obtained.
  • the cross- sectional dimensions of the catheter tube are uniform overall and the tube has an outer diameter which is only slightly smaller than the diameter of the urinary tract or urethra.
  • the indirect connection of the catheter tube to the urine collecting container or to the drainage hose, i.e. the hose which connects the catheter tube to the container is provided with known, manually oper ⁇ able means for blocking the urine passageway and there- with prevent the flow of urine into the container.
  • This enables urine to build up in the bladder, so that the muscles of the urethra or urinal tract will be subject ⁇ ed to the muscle-strenghening exercises required for remedying incontinence.
  • similar blocking means can be provided on the cath ⁇ eter tube, e.g. in the region of the catheter opening located externally of the body of the wearer.
  • the container intended for the temporary stor ⁇ age of urine is composed of compartments which function to achieve uniform distribution of the urine entering the container. Despite its flexibility, the container will retain an optimal flat configuration when filled, therewith causing less trouble and discomfort to the wearer than known containers intended for this purpose.
  • the thus improved apparatus or system has a surprising ⁇ ly pronounced psychological effect on the user, while, at the same time, automatically stimulating weakened urinal musculature.
  • Figure 1 illustrates schematically and in axial section a catheter tube for internal use
  • Figure 2 illustrates schematically the tube of Figure 1 connected detachably to a drainage hose
  • Figure 2a illustrates schematically exemplifying means for preventing urine from flowing into a urine collec ⁇ ting container
  • Figure 3 illustrates from above part of the drainage hose of Figure 2 or Figure 2a detachably connected to a urine collecting container; and Figure 4 is a sectional view taken in the direction of the arrow IV-IV.
  • the length of the female urethra is normally about 4 cm.
  • the catheter tube 10 is of flexible or bendable construction and has a total length which is greater than these 4 cm.
  • the catheter tube 10 will preferably have a length of about 5-7 cm, or longer.
  • the outer diameter of the tube 10 will, of course, be slightly smaller than the diameter of the female ure-thra and the outer surface of the tube will have optimal smooth ⁇ ness.
  • the tube 10 has an inner diameter which is uni ⁇ form throughout the whole length of the tube and pre ⁇ sents a first opening 11, the inlet opening, and a second opening 12, the outlet opening.
  • the tube 10 is provided adjacent the first opening 11, or in the re ⁇ gion of said first opening 11, with a collar 13 in the form of a truncated cone and, comprising a cylindrical peripheral part 14 and a part 15 which tapers towards the ends of the conical part 14.
  • the conical part 14 of the col ⁇ lar slopes rearwardly towards the outlet opening 12 of the catheter tube 10, such as to form an acute angle, optionally an angle of between 50 and 75°, between the peripheral surface of the catheter tube 10 and the base of the conical part 14.
  • the collar 13 borders essentially on the inlet opening 11, although said collar may alternatively be posi ⁇ tioned somewhat further down on the tube 10, i.e. slightly nearer the outlet opening 12.
  • the collar 13 may, advantageously, be made of silicone rubber or some other material equally as friendly to the body of the wearer, since this collar is intended to be material located in the urethra of the female wearer.
  • the coni- cal part 14 of the collar 13 is elastically deformable, and the end of the tapering part 15 is rounded-off.
  • the conical part 14 of the collar 13 may be hollow and accommodate a viscous fluid, for instance a hormone preparation, in which case the walls of said conical part 14 will consist of a material that is permeable to the fluid in question.
  • a viscous fluid for instance a hormone preparation
  • the walls of said conical part 14 will consist of a material that is permeable to the fluid in question.
  • the aforementioned viscous fluid can be introduced into the conical part 14 during industrial manufacture of the catheter tube 10.
  • the catheter tube 10 includes a second collar 16 which is located downstream of the collar 13 and the construction of which is es ⁇ sentially the same as the construction of the first collar 13 and has a radially extending, elastically deformable conical part 17.
  • the vertical extension h-x of the second collar 16 is smaller or much smaller than the vertical extension h of the conical part 14 of the first collar 13.
  • the positions of the two aforedescribed collars 13 and 16 are such that respective conical parts 14, 17 will abut muscular parts of the wall of the female urethra.
  • the catheter tube 10 also has a third collar 18 located in the region of the outlet opening 12, preferably slightly upstream of said outlet opening.
  • the circular- conical part 19 of the third collar 18 is essentially of uniform thickness and is preferably of solid con ⁇ struction.
  • the collar 18, or conical part 19 has a vertical extension h + x, i.e. a vertical or radial extension which is greater than the vertical or radial extension of the first collar 13.
  • the conical part 19 widens in the upstream direction of the catheter tube 10, and by making the conical part 19 compliant, said part can be brought into abutment with the urethra or urinal tract in the vicinity of the outlet orifice thereof.
  • the conical part 19 of the third collar 18 is preferably more rigid than the conical part 17 and 14 of the respective second and first collars 16 and 13, thereby to enable the conical part 19 to form a stop means and thereby indicate that the tube 10 shall be inserted into the female urethra to an extent such that the conical part 19 comes into abutment with or essen ⁇ tially into abutment with that part of the female's body located in the region of the urethra outlet ori ⁇ fice.
  • the radial extension of the third collar 18 will normally be such as to render it impossible in practice to tube the catheter tube 10 further than what is intended.
  • the aforedescribed catheter tube 10 can be readily handled by the user without the assistance of urologi- cally trained personnel.
  • the conical part 14 of the first collar 13 will bend in the downstream direction, i.e. rearwardly towards the outlet opening 12, and slide against the urethra wall.
  • the catheter is withdrawn slightly, whereby the conical part 14 of the first collar 13 will attempt to bend in the opposite direction.
  • the catheter tube is withdrawn only to a small extent sufficient for the conical part 14 to lift and take approximately the position illu ⁇ stration in Figure 1, wherewith the rounded edge of said part 14 will sealingly abut the muscular wall of the urethra while fixating the tube 10 in this position at the same time.
  • Normal movement of the user such as movement from a standing to a sitting or lying posi ⁇ tion, will not change the adopted position of the ca- theter tube 10 in the urethra.
  • the conical part 14 and/or the conical part 16 contains a fluid substance, such movement will cause said substance to permeate through the walls of said conical parts.
  • the inventive system is provided with known means 18' operative to prevent urine flowing out through the opening 12 and into the container.
  • known means 18' operative to prevent urine flowing out through the opening 12 and into the container.
  • the afore ⁇ described catheter tube 10 is fixedly or detachably connected to a flexible drainage hose 20, one end of which is connected in a known manner to the tube and which may be provided somewhere along its length with means for interrupting the flow of urine through the hose and thereby, for reasons already mentioned, there ⁇ with causing a build-up of urine in the bladder of the user.
  • Such means may, for instance, have the form of a conventional clamp 21 ( Figure 2a) which is clamped firmly around two hose parts bent back one upon the other.
  • the closure means may also have the form of a known valve device, as indicated at 22 in Figures 2 and 2a.
  • the other end of the illustrated drainage hose 20 is connected to a urine collecting container, generally referenced 23, which is formed from a stretchable syn- thetic material.
  • a urine collecting container generally referenced 23, which is formed from a stretchable syn- thetic material.
  • the container 23 will be flat, or essentially flat when not in use.
  • the container 23 has an elongated configuration, with a smoothly rounded external shape.
  • Connected to the container itself are two mutually opposing pieces 24, 25 provided with sus- pension slots 26, by means of which the container can be hung or hooked for instance, and a scale 26' for indicating the volume of liquid in the container.
  • the actual liquid accommodating part, referenced 23' in Figure 3, of the container 23 comprises a plurality of compartments 33 arranged within the container part 23'. These compartments 33 are in mutually spaced relation ⁇ ship, so as to form a plurality of liquid accommodating spaces or channels 33' which communicate with one another.
  • This compartment arrangement ensures that the body liquid entering the container will be distributed uniformly between the various compartments or channels, whereby the container, even when full or partially full, will be easier to carry and less voluminous than conventional containers.
  • the rounded corners of the container 23 also cause the pressure within the con ⁇ tainer to be distributed more uniformly while an ar ⁇ rangement in which the container lacks sharp edges will reduce the risk of damage to the container.
  • a short drainage pipe 27 Connected to the bottom of the container 23 is a short drainage pipe 27 which incorporates a known, manually operable valve means 29 in the vicinity of the outlet opening 28 of the container. This enables the container 23 to be emptied whenever desired.
  • the liquid accommodating part 23' of the container 23 may also advantageously be provided with an internally arranged reagent 30 of a known kind capable of being read externally of the container, so as to enable the possible occurrence of undesirable bacteria flora to be established.
  • a suitable non-return valve for instance a check valve of the kind illustrated and described in my U.S. Patent Application No. 134,942. It will be obvious to those skilled in this art that any type of known valve which permits fluid to flow in solely one direction can be used.
  • the improved container 23 is also provided with an overpressure valve indicated at 31.
  • this overpressure valve 31 may consist of a circular region formed integrally with the container material and consisting of a gas- permeable material, for instance material retailed under the registered trademark GOR-TEX. Gas present in the container 23 departs through the valve 31, thereby enabling the container to be filled to capacity, which has not been possible with hitherto known containers intended for this purpose.
  • the aforedescribed container 23 can be used for both male and female requirements, since it is solely the catheter tube which is confi ⁇ gured particularly for insertion into the female ure- thra. Consequently, the container 23 can be combined with any other type of (known) catheter device or any other form of urine transfer device.
