Definitions

  • the here disclosed invention relates to the field of urinary aids for women, in particular to portable devices that facilitate urination in a standing, a sitting or a supine position. Special attention is given to the features and the secure engagement of the inlet opening with the body-tissues in the region of the vulva and to the closure of the urinary aids. Background of the invention
  • the direction and place of the outflow of urine from the female member are determined by the natural shape of the vulva and the position of the flexible tissue of the labia majora pudent and labia minora pudent. Urine outflow can occur along the edges of said labia before leaving the vulva. Also, usually a residue of urine remains between said labia, which makes the drying of the vulva after urination desirable to prevent soiling of clothes.
  • the most effective and natural position for women to urinate is to be sitting on a sanitary device (toilet) with an opening below the body or in a crouching position. In said positions the vulva has a natural downward direction and is somewhat spread open which facilitates the outflow of urine in the desired direction.
  • Bedridden women or women confined to a wheelchair are usually dependent on the availability of adapted sanitary facilities as well as on assistance of a caretaker to use these facilities. It is known that women in this dependent situation often reduce their fluid intake in order to avoid unpleasant situations when assistance is not available in time. This not only places the women concerned in a dependent position for a frequent normal necessity, it also consumes a lot of the caretakers time. This is an undesirable situation in terms of health and well-being.

  • Urinary aids of this type are usually equipped with a round or oval inlet opening that covers the whole genital area.
  • Some inventions of this type have special handles to hold on and a specially curved inlet opening to improve the engagement with the vulva in order to prevent leakage or to position the device correctly.
  • Devices of this type usually can be stored in a special holder at the bedside and are often equipped with a lid to close the inlet opening.
  • urinary aids of the 'bottle-like' type are provided with a flat bottom side that may rest on the mattress when in use.
  • urine devices of the 'bottle-like' type are designed to be used independently they are bulky and, when used repeatedly without emptying become more and more cumbersome to handle because of the urine stored inside. Therefore the use of 'bottle-like' devices requires frequent assistance to empty the urinal.

  • Urinary devices made of flexible material typically have a large inlet opening that is designed to be held under or against the whole region of the vulva without applying pressure on the vulva. Due to the flexible material these devices cannot withstand the pressure needed to form an intimate connection between the body and the device and careful handling is required. Also the flexible material requires some disrobing in order to create sufficient space between garment and body to place the device in the correct position without deformation.
  • Urinary devices for a standing position made of rigid material that are designed to be placed under or against the vulva often display a funnel-like shape that is equipped with a large predominantly oval inlet opening, usually with somewhat curved edges to have a better fit on the outer periphery of the vulva (for example US2007169253, US20090056003 and WO03070131).
  • the outlet opening is usually directed predominantly downward which makes some disrobing required for a correct positioning and directing of the device.

Abstract

La présente invention concerne une ouverture d'entrée non invasive (1) pour aides urinaires pour femmes ainsi que les aides urinaires dans lesquelles ladite ouverture d'entrée est appliquée. Les aides urinaires présentées permettent aux femmes d'uriner sans fuite dans une position debout, assise ou couchée. Les aides urinaires sont fabriquées dans un matériau facile à nettoyer, ferme, sont refermables et peuvent être utilisées de façon répétée. Les aides urinaires sont petites, portables et peuvent être utilisées discrètement sans assistance. Lors de l'utilisation, l'ouverture d'entrée est pressée sur la commissure postérieure et la grande lèvre formant un scellement étanche aux fuites alors qu'un passage pour l'urine assure que toute l'urine est guidée par l'intermédiaire de l'aide urinaire jusqu'à un emplacement inférieur. La vulve peut être séchée efficacement par glissement du bord côté arrière (2) de l'ouverture d'entrée sur la lèvre.
