Problems solved by technology

[0006] Currently, catheter changes, manual bladder irrigation, or flexible cystoscopy often necessitate unnecessary exposure to hazardous substances, wasting staff time and valuable hospital resources (sheets and pillowcases that need to be laundered, gowns and clothes), and thus have the following disadvantages:
Existing draping methods / products for urinary catheterization and related procedures place healthcare workers at significant risk given the infectious material in the workplace
[0009] 2) Patient safety / infection risk
[0012] Existing bedroll methods reduce valuable hospital resources and ultimately increase the cost of delivering health care

Embodiment Construction

[0068] refer to figure 1 and figure 2 , the illustrated urological drape 10 includes a flexible sheet 12 having a first end 14 and a second end 16, the first end 14 being wider than the second end 16 such that the sheet 12 extends from the first end 14 to the second end 16. The two ends 16 are gradually narrowed. At a first intermediate location between said ends 14 and 16, the sheet 12 is provided with a hole 18 for exposing the patient's genital area when the drape 10 is donned by the patient.

[0069] The drape 10 has a flexible cover 22 that covers the sheet 12 and is attached to the periphery of the sheet 12 from point A to point B to point C to point D. Points A and D are approximately halfway along the length of the sheet 12 between the top 14 and bottom 16 . The inner end 23 of the cover 22 is open at a second intermediate position between the end 16 and the hole 18 to define a storage area 24 between the cover 22 and the sheet 12 . This inner end 23 is formed fac...

Abstract

A urology drape is disclosed which comprises a flexible sheet (12) which has a flexible hood (22) overlying part of the sheet (12) to form a repository (24) between the sheet (12) and the hood (22). The sheet (12) has a hole (18) to enable a procedure to be performed on a patient when the drape is located on the patient. Bodily fluid is able to flow from the hole down the sheet (12) into the repository (24) and when the procedure is finished, the drape can be folded or otherwise collapsed into a disposable package so that the drape and fluid can be disposed of in a hygienic manner.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a urinary drape, which is used for artificial bladder flushing or flexible cystoscopy when changing a urinary catheter for a patient. Background technique [0002] Catheter changes, manual bladder irrigation, and flexible cystoscopy are usually performed on a patient bed, occasionally on a medical cart, and rarely on an operating table. Male patients are placed in the supine position, and women are supine with the legs bent and spread apart and the ankles together (the so-called "frog leg" position). [0003] Existing urological drapes are small and provide partial protection against bodily fluids such as urine or blood. The majority of patients who have had a urinary catheter changed, manual bladder irrigation, or flexible cystoscopy due to urine (haematuria) or due to traumatic catheterization using existing draping methods The patient ends up lying on wet, urine-stained or often blood-stained sheets, bedding and clothing. ...
