Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a urinary catheter with urine detection function, belonging to the technical field of urinary catheters. Background Art

[0002] A urinary catheter is a tube that is inserted into the bladder through the urethra to drain urine. It is a pipe made of natural rubber, silicone rubber or polyvinyl chloride (PVC), which can be inserted into the bladder through the urethra to drain urine. After the urinary catheter is inserted into the bladder, there is an air bag near the head of the catheter to fix the catheter in the bladder and prevent it from falling out, and the drainage tube is connected to a urine bag to collect urine. For example, the Chinese utility model patent with the authorization announcement number CN213698457U discloses a pre-lubricated urinary catheter and a combined device of a urinary catheter and a drainage bag, and specifically discloses a packaging bag and a urinary catheter. The urinary catheter includes an insertion portion for inserting into the urethra and a connecting portion connected to the drainage bag. The urinary catheter is placed in a packaging bag, and an oil bag filled with lubricant is provided in the packaging bag, and the insertion portion is immersed in the oil bag. This type of urinary catheter requires external equipment to detect whether it is correctly inserted into the bladder, which is inconvenient. Summary of the invention

[0003] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a urinary catheter with urine detection. The present invention determines whether the urinary catheter head is inserted into the bladder by detecting urine, and has a simple structure and is easy to operate.

[0004] The technical solution of the present invention is as follows: a urinary catheter with urine detection, comprising a urinary catheter head, one end of the urinary catheter head is connected to a hose, the other end of the hose is connected to a connector, and the connector is provided with a liquid outlet; a urinary catheter channel is provided in the hose, and the urinary catheter channel is respectively connected to the urinary catheter head and the liquid outlet; a urine detection hole is provided on the urinary catheter head; a detection channel is provided in the hose, and a detection cavity is provided at the end of the detection channel, and a detection test paper is provided in the detection cavity; a first fixed chuck is provided at one end of the hose near the connector, and a first through groove is provided on the first fixed chuck; the detection channel is respectively connected with the first through groove and the urine detection hole; a rotating chuck located at the rear side of the first fixed chuck is provided on the hose, and a second through groove is provided on the rotating chuck; a second fixed chuck located at the rear side of the rotating chuck is provided on the hose, and a third through groove is provided on the second fixed chuck; the second through groove is connected with or separated from the third through groove and the first through groove during the rotation of the rotating chuck; a first air bag surrounding the outer side of the hose is provided at the rear side of the second fixed chuck, and the inner cavity of the first air bag is connected with the third through groove.

[0005] In the above-mentioned urinary catheter with urine detection, a plurality of springs are arranged between the inner cavity of the first airbag and the hose; an air outlet is arranged on the side of the first airbag, and a first one-way valve is arranged in the air outlet; and a second one-way valve is arranged in the third through groove.

[0006] The aforementioned urinary catheter with urine detection has a side tube on the side of the connecting head, and a water injection port on the side tube; a second air bag is provided at one end of the hose near the urinary catheter head; a water injection channel is provided in the hose, and the water injection channel is respectively connected to the water injection port and the interior of the second air bag.

[0007] The aforementioned urinary catheter with urine detection function has a window located outside the detection cavity on the soft tube.

[0008] The aforementioned urinary catheter with urine detection function has a first indicating arrow on the rotating chuck, and a second indicating arrow on the first fixed chuck.

[0009] The aforementioned urinary catheter with urine detection function has a plurality of urine suction grooves disposed on the side of the urinary catheter head.

[0010] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0011] 1. In the present invention, the catheter head is inserted into the patient's body. At this time, the first airbag is in a compressed state. The rotating chuck is rotated so that the second through groove connects the first through groove with the second through groove. The first airbag starts to inhale and reset, so that the urine in the bladder is sucked from the urine detection hole and passes through the detection channel to the detection cavity. The urine contacts the detection test paper and the detection test paper changes color, which proves that the catheter head has been inserted into the bladder. If no urine is detected, the catheter head continues to be adjusted until the urine in the bladder is sucked into the urine detection hole. After the detection is completed, the present invention rotates the rotating chuck so that the second through groove is misaligned with the first through groove and the second through groove, and the urine will no longer be sucked from the urine detection hole; then it is connected to the external device through the connector, and the urine in the bladder is sucked from the catheter head, flows into the catheter channel and flows out from the liquid outlet. Therefore, the present invention achieves the effect of judging whether the catheter head is inserted into the bladder by detecting urine, and has the advantages of simple operation and convenient use.

[0012] 2. In the present invention, if the first airbag does not inhale urine when it is reset by suction, the position of the catheter head is adjusted and tested again, the first airbag is pressed to make the gas in the first airbag flow out from the first one-way valve, and then the first airbag is released to help the first airbag reset under the action of the spring, and the urine is continued to be sucked from the urine detection hole for re-testing, which has better repeatability.

The first airbag 16 starts to inhale and reset, so that the urine in the bladder is sucked from the urine detection hole 6 and passes through the detection channel 7 to the detection cavity 8. The urine contacts the detection test paper 9, and the detection test paper 9 changes color, which proves that the catheter head 1 has been inserted into the bladder. If no urine is detected, the catheter head 1 is continuously adjusted until the urine in the bladder is drained. The urine is sucked from the urine detection hole 6; after the detection is completed, the rotating chuck 12 is rotated so that the second through groove 13 is misaligned with the first through groove 11 and the second through groove 13, and urine will no longer be sucked from the urine detection hole 6; physiological saline is injected into the water injection port 22, and the physiological saline flows into the second airbag 23 through the water injection channel 24, so that the second airbag 23 expands, so that the second airbag 23 is blocked at the bladder opening; then, it is connected to an external device through the connector 3, and the urine in the bladder is sucked from the catheter head 1, flows into the catheter channel 5 and flows out from the liquid outlet 4.
