Description

URINE COLLECTORS

FIELD OF INVENTION

Provided herein is technology relating to collecting urine samples and particularly, but not exclusively, to technology for female subjects. The present disclosure provides urine collectors capable of acquiring samples conveniently and wholesomely while subjects sitting on a flush toilet or other places. It belongs to the field of medical test equipment technology.

BACKGROUND

In medical clinics, laboratory examination of urine samples is an important component of many diagnoses. In these cases, urine samples are usually taken from a patient and examined for conditions according to the ailment of the patient. Because of its relatively convenient sampling and non-invasive nature, urine samples are very suitable for the detection of medical conditions, including those caused by clinically relevant pathogens, such as the HPV virus that causes cervical cancer.

It is universally known that it is very easy for a man subject to collect his urine, but for a female subject, it is much more difficult for her. The conventional method for collecting clinical urine samples mostly uses a disposable small urine cup, which is usually unisex. Particularly, due to the differences in the physiological structures of males and females, and features of the commonly used unisex urine collectors, such unisex urine cups are especially inconvenient and unsuitable for female users, and make it easy to spill the urine sample, which often leads to contamination of the subjects’ hands and the environment. Thus, the conventional urine sample collectors are unsanitary and less preferred. Therefore, there is a need to develop a new urine collector for female subjects that is easy to use while avoiding spilling and contaminations, and easy to make in low cost.

In addition, the traditional urine tests are usually carried out in the hospitals or other medical institutions. The staff of clinic lab, hospital, or medical examination center normally give the subjects urine collectors and ask them to collect their own specimen. However nowadays, some samples including urine specimens are collected by the subjects themselves in places rather than a clinic lab, hospital, or medical examination center, and then sent to a third-party inspection agency for medical examination. Thus, home-sampling is becoming more common, and there is a need to develop a new urine collector that makes the process easy and cheap.

The ergonomic urine sample collectors of the present disclosure are designed and manufactured to allow for comfortable and convenient collection of urine specimen from female subjectsē which are easy to use on a flush toilet at home or other places.
