Abstract

Des modes de réalisation de la présente invention concernent un système de collecte de liquide qui peut relâcher des boucles dépendantes. Le système comprend un tube de drainage et un récipient, le tube étant en prise de manière coulissante avec une ouverture du récipient pour permettre l'insertion d'une partie du tube à l'intérieur de celle-ci. Des modes de réalisation peuvent comprendre un joint d'étanchéité pour empêcher que des liquides ou des gaz ne s'échappent, et un manchon pour atténuer l'introduction d'agents provoquant une infection des voies urinaires associée au cathéter (CAUTI) à l'intérieur du système. Des modes de réalisation peuvent également comprendre un ensemble coulissant pour tirer une partie proximale du tube à l'intérieur du récipient de collecte. Le raccourcissement d'une longueur de communication du tube relâche des boucles dépendantes, qui peuvent fournir une inclinaison négative sensiblement continue entre l'extrémité distale et l'extrémité proximale du tube de drainage. Relâcher les boucles dépendantes de cette manière peut atténuer le regroupement d'urine à l'intérieur du tube de drainage qui peut contenir les agents provoquant la CAUTI.
