A side-mounted, prone position male urination assistance device

Abstract

This invention discloses a side-mounted, prone-position urination assistance device for men, comprising a rigid base frame, a urination pad, and a urination assembly. The base frame is equipped with casters and a full-brake pedal; the urination pad is fixed to the base and includes a flexible, form-fitting body and a urination hole running through the middle of the body, with its top surface being a gently sloping curved surface suitable for prone positioning, with the head higher than the feet, and its overall height flush with the bed surface; the urination assembly is located in the middle of the device and includes a sealing cap and a urinal that can be detachably installed in the urination hole. This invention solves the problems of poor urination with traditional bed urinals or the blood pressure fluctuations, nerve excitation, and sleep interruptions caused by significant changes in body position when moving a commode. Utilizing gravity guidance and abdominal pressure assistance, the user only needs to turn over or move horizontally to switch to a prone position for smooth urination at the bedside, reducing physiological and psychological stimulation to body position, blood pressure, and nerves. It has the beneficial effects of being easy to operate, odor-proof and hygienic, and improving nighttime sleep quality.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of medical assistive devices and home care equipment, specifically to a device that assists men with limited mobility or suffering from certain chronic diseases to urinate in a prone position at the bedside. Background Technology

[0002] Many middle-aged and elderly men suffering from underlying respiratory, cardiovascular, spinal, neurological, or urinary system diseases, or those requiring post-operative rehabilitation, experience frequent nighttime awakenings due to the urge to urinate. The rapid transition from a supine to an upright walking position can easily lead to sympathetic nerve excitation, flare-ups of rhinitis and pharyngitis, and fluctuations in blood pressure, causing psychological, physiological, and pathological reactions. This makes it difficult for patients to fall back asleep after urinating, severely impacting sleep quality and exacerbating their condition, creating a vicious cycle. Existing bedpans or portable commodes still require patients to make significant positional changes (such as sitting up or standing), failing to effectively address the health problems caused by these drastic positional shifts. Current supine urinals can easily generate psychological and physiological muscle resistance in men, while the prone position offers significant advantages in terms of abdominal pressure assistance, gravity guidance, comfort, and stability, making it easier for men to urinate comfortably without disrupting their sleep. Therefore, it is necessary to design a prone-position male urination assistance device that can be attached to the side of the bed to solve the aforementioned technical problems. Summary of the Invention

[0003] To address the limitations of existing technologies, the purpose of this invention is to provide a side-mounted, prone urination assistance device for men. This device aims to help middle-aged and elderly men with underlying diseases of the respiratory, cardiovascular, spinal, nervous, or urinary systems, or those requiring post-operative rehabilitation, to urinate at night without having to get out of bed. They can do so simply by turning over or moving to the bedside, using abdominal pressure assistance, gravity guidance, and a comfortable prone position. This reduces the physiological and psychological stress caused by changes in body position and improves sleep quality.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution.

[0005] A side-mounted, prone male urination assist device (100) includes a rigid base frame (110), a urination pad (120), and a urination assembly (130). The base frame (110) has four casters (112) and a full brake pedal (113) at its bottom. The urination pad (120) is embedded and fixedly mounted on the base frame (110), and includes a flexible fitting body (121) and a urination hole (122). The top surface of the flexible fitting body (121) is configured to be suitable for the human body when prone. The curved structure is in a lying position, with a gentle slope along its length, and the urinary hole (122) penetrates the middle of the flexible fitting entity (120) corresponding to the groin and genital area of ​​the human body; the urination component (130) includes a urinal (131) and a sealing cover (132), the sealing cover (132) can be opened and closed to cover the mouth of the urinal (131), and the urinal (131) is detachably and seamlessly installed through the urinary hole (132) in the middle of the flexible fitting entity (110).

[0006] Further, the sealing cap (132) and the urinal opening are provided with mutually magnetic anti-odor silicone sealing gaskets. When pressed down to close, the sealing cap (132) covers the urinal opening (122), and the gaskets are magnetically attracted to seal and prevent odor.

[0007] Further, the four full brake pedals (113) are combined with casters (112) respectively, so that the device can remain in a fixed position when assembled with the bed and can move independently after separation.

[0008] Further specifying, the flexible bonding entity (121) is made of viscoelastic foam material, and the sum of its highest point height and the base height is configured to be substantially flush with the mattress surface of the connected bed frame.

[0009] Further defined, the flexible fitting entity (121) is penetrated vertically by the urination hole (122), and when the flexible fitting entity is gently lifted, the urination component (130) can be moved in or out from above or below the flexible fitting entity (121) for cleaning.

[0010] Further, the device (100) assists men with limited mobility or suffering from specific chronic diseases to urinate naturally in a prone position.

[0011] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows.

[0012] Users can urinate simply by turning over on their back or moving to their stomach to reach the device, avoiding physiological and psychological fluctuations caused by changes in body position and improving sleep quality.

[0013] The flexible, form-fitting design and the human-prone curved surface provide comfortable support.

[0014] The prone position has significant advantages in terms of abdominal pressure assistance, gravity guidance, comfort, and stability, making it easier for users to urinate comfortably without affecting their sleep.

[0015] The easy-pull handle on the top of the sealing cap allows for one-handed opening of the urinal hole, making it convenient to operate; the magnetic silicone gasket between the hole and the cap ensures a tight fit, guaranteeing a flat, aesthetically pleasing surface and effective odor prevention.

[0016] The base frame is equipped with fully braked omnidirectional wheels, which can be assembled and separated from the bed as needed, saving space and making it easy to clean and store. Attached Figure Description
