Embodiment Construction

[0072] figure 1 and figure 2 Shown is an embodiment of an injection-moulded semi-finished urisheath assembly 1 according to the invention.

[0073] The urisheath 2 and the strap 3 form the urisheath assembly 1 .

[0074] The urisheath comprises a top 4 , a shoulder 5 and a main body 6 .

[0075] The top 4 extends a distance A from the shoulder 5 towards the outlet end 9 and is adapted to be connected to a urinary tube (not shown). Five circumferential friction ribs 8 are formed on the drain tube 7 which forms the top. The friction ribs provide friction means so that a user such as a patient or a nurse can manipulate the drain tube without loosening. A protruding connecting rib 10 is formed at the outlet end 9 of the drain pipe. The connecting rib protrudes outwardly from the drain pipe by a radial distance that is greater than the outwardly protruding distance of the surrounding friction rib 8 . The connecting rib provides a frictional engagement function when the drain...

Abstract

The urisheath provided here includes an element of thin material (a strip) that allows at least two lengths of it to run in a parallel fashion down either side of the sheath. The is obtained by injection moulding the strip in liquid silicone in the silicone injection moulding process for the urisheath, either by one, two or more component injection moulding. The injection moulding takes place in an injection moulding form for a urisheath with a cavity for the body portion and a cavity for the strip portion wherein the cavity for the body portion is connected to the cavity for the strip portion creating an attachment zone between the strip and the sheath.

Description

Background technique [0001] External urinary catheters, known as sheaths, are commonly used in catheter sets for the treatment of urinary incontinence in men and in hospitals in conjunction with treatment and surgery for urinary tract disorders. This external catheter usually consists of a sheath or body portion that houses the penis, and a top with a short drain that can be connected by a tube to a urine collection bag secured to the bed or to the user's leg. Properly spreading the sheath over the penis can be challenging. For hygienic reasons, this procedure is usually performed by unskilled users or medical personnel wearing protective gloves. However, it is important to secure the sheath properly to ensure a leak-proof seal between the skin and the sheath. Problems can arise if the sheath does not spread evenly or if the protective glove sticks to the sheath adhesive. [0002] An existing solution to this problem is the use of a separate strap to assist the use of the s...
