Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of clinical medical devices, in particular to an inflatable urine collector for female care. Background Art
[0002] In current clinical treatments, for patients who are unable to take care of their urination or suffer from urinary incontinence, inserting a urinary catheter is a commonly used nursing method. However, for women, especially elderly women, long-term insertion of a urinary catheter can cause problems such as urinary tract infections, leading to new discomfort and pain for the patients. Therefore, a urine collector is often used during the nursing process.
[0003] Currently, commonly used female urine collectors in clinics include rigid bedpans, female urinals, diapers, etc. When using a bedpan to collect urine, two or more young people are needed to assist in lifting the buttocks. If the patient is obese, it will be even more unbearable. If the patient is cared for by their spouse, they may not be able to lift the buttocks. Moreover, due to the lifted buttocks and the sunken perineum, urine is likely to overflow during bedridden urination, often causing discomfort and pain to the patient. At the same time, if the force is not enough during the use of the bedpan, it is easy to drag and cause skin abrasion when taking it, and then form pressure sores. The urine collection section of the female urinal is too long to be placed stably on the bed to collect urine, and the urinal mouth is difficult to fit the patient's vulva, making it extremely easy to spill and leak urine due to improper urine collection. After collecting urine, the bedsheet needs to be changed, and a considerable number of patients are not suitable or unwilling to accept it. Long-term use of diapers is likely to breed bacteria, which can also easily cause urinary tract infections. In addition, diapers are not breathable and are also likely to cause problems such as eczema. Content of the Utility Model

[0026] Embodiment 1
[0027] As Figures 1 - 3As shown in the figure, a female care inflatable urine collector includes a urine collection tray 1, a connecting tube 4 and a urine bag 9. The top size of the urine collection tray 1 meets the needs of the adult female pelvis. There are protrusions on both the front and back sides of the top of the urine collection tray 1. The inner wall of the front protrusion 2 fits the female vulva. The height of the front protrusion 2 is 3 - 4 cm, the width is 6 - 8 cm, and the thickness is 3 - 5 cm. It can better fit the patient's vulva, better block the urine from splashing out when the patient is under excessive pressure, and effectively prevent urine from splashing out when the patient urinates; the rear protrusion 3 is adapted to the shape of the gluteal cleft, and the top thickness of the rear protrusion 3 is 2 - 3 cm. It can better fit the gluteal cleft, increase the contact area with the patient, and improve the use experience. Both the front protrusion 2 and the rear protrusion 4 are integrated with the urine collection tray 1.
[0028] The urine collection tray 1 is an inflatable urine collector, which is softer during use. After inflation, the top edge is round. The patient has a better use experience, and the urine collection tray 1 can be placed in the target position before inflation is completed, and then the urine collection tray 1 is fully inflated, which is more convenient to use without moving the patient. The urine collection tray 1 is connected to an inflatable airbag through an air inlet tube 6. The inflatable airbag includes an airbag 16. A first one-way air valve 14 is provided at one end of the airbag 16 close to the air inlet tube 6, and a second one-way air valve 15 is provided at the end of the airbag 16 away from the air inlet tube 6. A control valve 13 is provided on the side wall between the first one-way air valve 14 and the air inlet tube 6. The control valve 13 can be a rotary switch. The rotary control valve is a common structure in the art and will not be elaborated here. When inflating, rotate and close the control valve 13, squeeze the airbag 16, and the gas in the airbag 16 enters the inside of the urine collection tray 1 through the first one-way air valve 14 and the air inlet tube 6. When the pressure on the airbag 16 is removed, the airbag 16 returns to its initial shape, and the outside air enters the inside of the airbag 16 through the second one-way air valve 15 to inflate the airbag 16. Repeatedly squeezing the airbag 16 can achieve inflation of the urine collection tray 1; when deflating, only need to rotate and open the control valve 13. With the above structure, it is convenient to adjust the air pressure inside the urine collection tray 1. The airbag 16 can be made of flexible materials such as rubber. When taking out the urine collection tray 1 from under the patient, the control valve can be rotated to open for deflation, so that the volume of the urine collection tray 1 becomes smaller and is convenient to take out. The deflated urine collection tray 1 has a small volume and is convenient to store.
[0029] The bottom of the urine collection tray 1 is connected to a drainage ball through a connecting tube 4. The drainage ball includes a balloon 18. One end of the balloon 18 close to the urine collection tray 1 is provided with an end cap 17. Inside the balloon 18, there is a backflow prevention diaphragm joint 19. The backflow prevention diaphragm joint 19 passes through the end cap 17 and is connected to the connecting tube 4. The backflow prevention diaphragm joint 19 arranged inside the balloon 22 can effectively prevent the urine in the balloon 22 from flowing back. The other end of the balloon 18 is provided with a discharge port 20. The discharge port 20 is connected to a urine bag 9 through a drainage tube 5. By squeezing the balloon 18, the urine in the balloon 18 can enter the urine bag 9 through the drainage tube 5. After releasing the hand, the balloon 22 tends to return to its original shape, and a negative pressure is formed inside the balloon 22, which can suck the residual urine in the connecting tube 4 into the inside of the balloon 22, accelerating the flow of urine in the connecting tube 4 and preventing the urine from staying in the connecting tube 4.
[0030] Both the connecting tube 4 and the drainage tube can be made of silicone material, which is soft and not easily deformed. A stop clamp 8 is provided on the drainage tube; the entry of urine into the urine bag 9 can be controlled through the stop clamp 8. The connection between the urine bag 9 and the drainage tube 5 is detachable. When disassembling the urine bag 9, the stop clamp 8 needs to be closed in advance. The connection between the urine bag 9 and the drainage tube 5 can adopt a conventional connection method. Preferably, a straight joint 11 is provided at the end of the drainage tube 5, and an interface 10 is provided at the top of the urine bag 9. The joint 11 can be inserted into the interface 10. A discharge valve 7 is provided at the bottom of the urine bag 9, which is convenient for discharging the urine inside the urine bag 9. A hanging ring 12 is provided at the top of the urine bag 9. The hanging ring 12 is located at the center of the top of the urine bag 9, which can hang the urine bag 9 on the hospital bed to ensure that the top of the urine bag 9 is upward during use. Scale lines are provided on the urine bag 9, which can clearly observe the current capacity of the urine bag 9. Preferably, the urine bag 9 has a large capacity of 1000 ml.
[0031] Working process:
[0032] After rotating and closing the control valve 13, the urine collection tray 1 is inflated by squeezing the airbag 16 to give it a preliminary shape, which is convenient for placing it under the patient. The front protrusion 2 of the urine collection tray 1 is placed in front of the patient and fits with the patient's vulva, and the rear protrusion 3 fits with the gluteal cleft. Then, the airbag 16 is squeezed again to fully inflate the urine collection tray 1 to have sufficient supporting force. At this time, the top of the urine collection tray 1 fits with the patient's body.
[0033] When the patient urinates, the urine enters the urine bag 9 through the urine collection tray 1, the connecting tube 4, the drainage ball and the drainage tube 5. During use, the urine bag 9 can be hung under the hospital bed with the top of the urine bag 9 upward, and the whole urine bag 9 is located below the urine collection tray 1 to facilitate the flow of urine; when the urine in the urine bag 9 is too full, the stop clamp 8 is closed, and the medical staff can pull out the joint 11 of the drainage tube 5 from the interface 10 of the urine bag 9, and then replace the urine bag 9 with a new one; alternatively, the discharge valve 7 at the bottom of the urine bag 9 can be opened to empty the urine bag 9 and then the discharge valve 7 is closed to reuse the urine bag 9.
[0034] When there is residual urine in the connecting tube 4 or the liquid flow in the connecting tube 4 is not smooth, medical staff can operate the drainage ball; squeeze the balloon 22 to make the urine in the balloon 22 enter the urine bag. At the same time, the anti-backflow diaphragm joint 19 arranged in the balloon 22 can effectively prevent the urine in the balloon 22 from flowing back; then close the stop clamp 8. After releasing the hand, the balloon 22 tends to return to its original shape, and a negative pressure is formed in the balloon 22, which can suck the residual urine in the connecting tube 4 into the inside of the balloon 22, accelerating the urine flow in the connecting tube 4. Then open the stop clamp 8, and the urine flows normally.
[0035] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, rather than to limit it; although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those of ordinary skill in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or perform equivalent replacements on some or all of the technical features; and these modifications or replacements do not make the essence of the corresponding technical solutions deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention.
