Abstract

The invention discloses an infant excrement collecting device which is formed by adhering a honeycomb disc, a double-faced adhesive tape and a protective layer, the honeycomb disc is made of soft colloid materials, a plurality of honeycomb lattices are arranged on the honeycomb disc and are of a hollow cavity structure, the double-faced adhesive tape is adhered to the bottom of the honeycomb disc, and the protective layer is adhered to the bottom of the honeycomb disc. And the protective layer is adhered to the outer side of the double faced adhesive tape. According to the infant excrement collecting device, the double-faced adhesive tape is adhered and fixed on the inner side of the diaper by tearing off the protective layer, and the honeycomb lattices on the honeycomb plate face the defecation part of an infant. After the infant defecates, excrement is diffused in the honeycomb lattice cavities on the honeycomb plate, and the excrement in the honeycomb lattice cavities is locked by the honeycomb lattices and is prevented from being adsorbed and absorbed by the baby diaper. The device can be widely applied to medical sampling and collection of excrement of infant patients, and the authenticity and reliability of infant excrement collection are improved.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of medical stool collection and sampling, and particularly to a stool collection device for infants and young children. Background Technology

[0002] It is difficult to accurately predict the timing of bowel movements in infants and young children. Currently, the vast majority of medical test samples of stool from infant patients are extracted and collected from their diapers. However, this method has the following drawbacks: if the stool is not collected promptly after defecation, the stool components, including cells, microorganisms, electrolytes, water, and fibers, are quickly absorbed and adsorbed by the sodium silicate (Na2SiO3) and sponge-like non-woven fabric in the diaper. This distorts or even eliminates the proportions of stool components, reducing the accuracy and reliability of test results and affecting doctors' diagnosis of diseases in infant patients.

[0003] Therefore, how to improve the authenticity and reliability of stool collection from infants and young children, and ensure the accuracy of their test results, has become a technical problem that medical professionals or technicians in this field need to solve. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a stool collection device for infants and young children, which improves the authenticity and reliability of stool extraction and collection.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides a fecal collection device for infants and young children. This device comprises a honeycomb disc, double-sided adhesive, and a protective layer. The honeycomb disc is made of a soft, adhesive material and is characterized by having multiple honeycomb lattices on its surface. Each honeycomb lattice is a hollow hexahedral cavity structure. The double-sided adhesive is characterized by having self-adhesive coating on both sides; one side adheres to the bottom of the honeycomb disc, and the other side adheres to the inside of an infant's diaper during use. The protective layer is adhered to before use. The protective layer is characterized by being made of paper material and having one side coated with wax. The waxed side of the protective layer is adhered to the outside of the double-sided adhesive before use, providing protection before application.

[0006] The honeycomb lattice can be cylindrical, trihedral, tetrahedral, or polyhedral. The honeycomb disk material can be rubber, silicone, or polyurethane, or other flexible materials. The double-sided adhesive can be transparent, foam, paper, or metal sheet. The protective layer is paper, or it can be a plastic film.

[0007] The working principle of the above-mentioned infant stool collection device is as follows: When in use, peel off the protective layer and attach it to the inside of a diaper near the defecation site using double-sided tape, with the honeycomb lattice on the honeycomb plate facing the infant's defecation site. After defecation, the stool spreads within the honeycomb lattice cavities on the honeycomb plate, where it is separated and absorbed by the lattice. When appropriate, use a "stool removal stick" to scrape the stool from the honeycomb lattice for collection.

[0008] The infant stool collection device provided by this invention adsorbs stool through a honeycomb lattice on a honeycomb plate. The honeycomb lattice is a hollow cavity structure; when the hollow cavity of the honeycomb lattice is compressed, air is expelled; when the external pressure is removed, the hollow cavity of the honeycomb lattice expands and adsorbs stool. Multiple honeycomb lattices are regularly arranged on the honeycomb plate, which easily separates the continuously spreading stool while effectively preventing the stool on the honeycomb plate from spreading outwards randomly, maintaining the stability of the adsorbed stool and its stack. The honeycomb plate is made of a soft material that does not absorb moisture or other substances, and completely isolates the stool from the diaper. Therefore, extracting and collecting patient stool on the honeycomb plate greatly improves the authenticity and reliability of the extracted stool. Attached Figure Description
