Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of female infant urine collection devices, and more specifically, to a female infant urine collector. Background Technology

[0002] In modern medical systems, urine testing is an extremely common and important diagnostic tool. Urine contains a wealth of physiological information, and its analysis can provide doctors with crucial clues about a patient's health. However, in actual clinical practice, collecting urine from specific populations faces numerous challenges.

[0003] Hospitals frequently require urine tests for patients of different ages, with infant girls who cannot care for themselves forming a special group. Currently, using ordinary urine cups or bags for urine testing of these infants has significant drawbacks. Firstly, ordinary urine cups typically have a large opening and a fixed shape, making it difficult to fit snugly against the infant's body. This easily leads to spillage during collection, resulting in sample loss, environmental contamination, and increased workload and cleaning costs for medical staff. Secondly, while ordinary urine bags can hold a relatively large amount of urine, their design is not specifically tailored to the physiological characteristics of infant girls, making them prone to leakage.

[0004] Furthermore, there are significant differences in the physiological structure of female and male infants. Male infants have a relatively more protruding urethra, resulting in a more concentrated flow of urine, making urine collection relatively easy. Female infants, on the other hand, have shorter and straighter urethras, leading to a more dispersed flow of urine, making it difficult to collect a sufficient amount for testing. Even with careful procedures by medical staff and parents, collection often fails due to an inability to accurately determine the timing and direction of urine flow.

[0005] Therefore, effectively addressing the issue of urine collection for female infants during urinalysis has become a crucial and pressing problem in the medical field. This not only affects the accuracy and reliability of urine test results but also directly impacts the timely diagnosis and effective treatment of the infants' health conditions. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of this utility model is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing a urine collector for female infants, comprising a diaper and a urine collection mechanism;

[0007] The urine collection mechanism includes a silicone pad, the bottom of which is provided with an adhesive layer for easy adhesion to the diaper, and the silicone pad is fixedly adhered to the inner surface of the diaper; a urine guide hole is provided in the middle of the silicone pad.

[0008] The urine collection mechanism also includes a catheter that is bonded to the silicone pad. The top of the catheter has an integrally formed support ring, and the top of the support ring is provided with an adhesive layer.

[0009] The bottom of the diaper has a through hole cut to facilitate the passage of a catheter.

[0010] Preferably, the shape of the silicone pad is similar to the shape of the diaper's inner bottom.

[0011] Preferably, the catheter port is provided with an inclined slope, and the catheter port is connected to the catheter tube.

[0012] Preferably, a urine collection bag may be connected to the bottom of the catheter.

[0013] Preferably, a urine collection bottle may be connected to the bottom of the catheter.

[0014] Preferably, a skin-friendly non-woven fabric layer can be added to the surface of the silicone pad.

[0015] Preferably, a breathable membrane is added between the silicone pad and the skin-friendly non-woven fabric layer, and the breathable membrane is a PE breathable membrane.

[0016] Preferably, the diaper has an elastic waistband on the back, waist tabs on both sides of the back, three-dimensional side guards on both sides, and a front waist tab on the front.

[0017] Compared with existing technologies, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: The urine collection mechanism allows for convenient collection of a baby girl's urine. Specifically, the silicone pad prevents urine from being absorbed by the diaper. A sloping catheter hole in the center of the silicone pad facilitates urine collection, which is then drained into a urine collection bag or bottle via a catheter attached to the bottom of the hole. A support ring at the top of the catheter prevents deformation of the catheter hole after bonding, preventing leakage. An additional adhesive layer on the support ring further ensures the stability of the connection between the catheter and the silicone pad, preventing the support ring from shifting within the layers and causing urine to spill onto the baby instead of entering the catheter. The skin-friendly non-woven fabric layer allows for better and more natural movement for the baby. The soft, non-irritating non-woven fabric does not absorb water, making it more comfortable for the baby's skin and further dispersing urine, preventing leakage to the silicone pad.

[0024] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0025] Referring to the figures, this embodiment provides a urine collector for female infants, including a diaper 1 and a urine collection mechanism 2;

[0026] The urine collection mechanism includes a silicone pad 21, the bottom of which is provided with an adhesive layer 22 for easy adhesion to the diaper 1, and the silicone pad 21 is fixedly adhered to the inner surface of the diaper 1; a urine guide hole 23 is provided in the middle of the silicone pad 21.

[0027] The urine collection mechanism also includes a urinary catheter 24 that is bonded to the silicone pad 21. The top of the urinary catheter 24 is integrally formed with a support ring 25, and the top of the support ring 25 is also provided with an adhesive layer. Here, the material of the support ring is the same as or similar to that of the urinary catheter, and it is sufficient to have a certain support function.

[0028] The bottom of the diaper 1 is cut with a through hole to facilitate the passage of a catheter.

[0029] Furthermore, the shape of the silicone pad 21 is similar to the shape of the inner bottom of the diaper.

[0030] Furthermore, the catheter port 23 is provided with an inclined slope, and the catheter port 23 is connected to the catheter tube 24.

[0031] Furthermore, a urine collection bag may be connected to the bottom of the catheter 24.

[0032] Furthermore, a urine collection bottle may be externally connected to the bottom of the catheter 24.

[0033] Furthermore, the surface of the silicone pad 32 can be enhanced with a skin-friendly non-woven fabric layer. This skin-friendly non-woven fabric layer allows the baby to move more naturally and comfortably. The non-woven fabric is soft, does not irritate the skin, and does not absorb water, making it more comfortable for the baby's skin. It also helps to further disperse urine, allowing it to leak into the silicone pad.

[0034] Furthermore, the diaper 1 has an elastic waistband 11 on the back, waist tabs 12 on both sides of the back of the diaper 1, three-dimensional protective covers 13 on both sides of the diaper 1, and a front waist tab 14 on the front of the diaper 1.

[0035] Usage process:

[0036] When it is necessary to collect urine from a baby girl, first cut a hole with a diameter of 1-2cm from the bottom of the diaper brought by the family. Then, lead the catheter out from the inside downwards, leaving the support ring on the inner surface of the diaper. When attaching the silicone pad, try to flatten the diaper as much as possible. Then, take out the silicone pad, peel off the release film on the adhesive layer, and then attach the adhesive layer at the bottom of the silicone pad to the inner surface of the diaper.

[0037] In addition, when bonding the silicone pad, it is important to ensure that the through holes on the silicone pad are aligned with the center of the support ring, and to remove the release film from the support ring before bonding. Generally, bonding should start from the middle and then proceed outwards.

[0038] As an upgrade to the product, a skin-friendly non-woven fabric layer can be laid on top of the silicone pad.

[0039] In the above embodiments and usage, the urine collection mechanism conveniently collects the urine of female infants. Specifically, the silicone pad prevents urine from being absorbed by the diaper; the inclined drainage hole in the middle of the silicone pad facilitates urine collection into the drainage hole, which is then drained into a urine collection bag or bottle through a catheter attached to the bottom of the drainage hole; the support ring at the top of the catheter prevents deformation of the drainage hole after bonding, thus preventing urine leakage; the added adhesive layer on the support ring further ensures the stability of the bonding between the catheter and the silicone pad, preventing the support ring from shifting in the interlayer and causing urine to spill onto the baby instead of entering the catheter; the skin-friendly non-woven fabric layer allows the baby to move more naturally. The non-woven fabric is soft, non-irritating to the skin, and does not absorb water, making it more comfortable for the baby's skin and also helping to further disperse urine, preventing it from leaking into the silicone pad.

[0040] The above specific embodiments further illustrate the purpose, technical solution, and beneficial effects of this utility model. It should be understood that the above are only specific embodiments of this utility model, but the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto.
