[0006] An arc-shaped urinary catheterization cover has an inlet at the top, a rubber protective ring installed at the inlet, and an outlet at the bottom, with a spiral tube connector connected to the bottom of the outlet.
[0007] A urinary catheter is detachably connected to the bottom of the screw connector. A filter screen is installed inside the urinary catheter. A drain tube is installed on one side of the urinary catheter above the filter screen. An overflow tube is installed on one side of the urinary catheter at the bottom of the filter screen, and the end of the overflow tube away from the urinary catheter is connected to the drain tube.
[0008] A test tube connector is attached to the bottom of a urinary catheter. A guide tube is installed at the bottom of the test tube connector. A connector seat is attached to the periphery of the test tube connector. A urine collection test tube is installed at the bottom of the connector seat.
[0009] Preferably, the arc-shaped urinary catheter has a urine air hole on its side, and the urine air hole has an L-shaped cross-section.
[0010] Preferably, the inner wall of the catheter is provided with a plurality of protrusions, which are located below the filter screen.
[0011] Preferably, the surface of the arc-shaped catheter is fitted with a handle, and the surface of the handle is provided with anti-slip texture.
[0012] Preferably, the test tube connector has an external thread on its periphery, and the connector seat has an internal thread that is compatible with the test tube connector.
[0013] Preferably, the catheter, test tube connector and guide tube are provided with drainage holes inside, and the guide tube is inserted into the urine collection test tube.
[0014] Preferably, the volume of the guide cannula extending into the urine collection tube is greater than the volume of the liquid in the tube connector and the drainage hole inside the catheter.
[0015] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0016] 1. This utility model utilizes the coordinated use of an arc-shaped catheter, a catheter, and a urine collection tube. During use, the arc-shaped cavity inside the catheter effectively prevents urine from splashing when it comes into contact with the inner wall of the catheter, reducing air bubbles. Guided by the arc-shaped catheter, urine enters the catheter through the screw connector. The filter screen inside the catheter filters out stones and impurities in the urine. The filtered urine then enters the urine collection tube through the tube connector for collection. Excess urine is discharged through the drain tube and overflow tube. The urine collection tube is then removed from the catheter and sent for testing, preventing contamination of the outer wall of the collection container and the user's hands with urine.
[0017] 2. This utility model, by installing a guide tube, utilizes the volume occupied inside the urine collection tube by the guide tube to replace the urine inside the drainage hole during use, thereby effectively preventing urine overflow. Attached Figure Description

[0024] The embodiments of this utility model will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. The following examples are for illustrative purposes only and should not be construed as limiting the scope of this utility model.
[0025] As attached Figure 1 To be continued Figure 4 As shown:
[0026] Example 1: This utility model provides a urine collection and testing device for elderly patients, comprising:
[0027] The curved catheter 1 has an inlet at the top and a rubber protective ring 2 installed thereon. The bottom of the curved catheter 1 has an outlet and a screw tube connector 5 is connected to the bottom of the outlet.
[0028] The catheter 6 is detachably connected to the bottom of the screw connector 5. A filter screen 9 is installed inside the catheter 6. A drain pipe 7 is installed on one side of the catheter 6 above the filter screen 9. An overflow pipe 8 is installed on one side of the catheter 6 at the bottom of the filter screen 9, and the end of the overflow pipe 8 away from the catheter 6 is connected to the drain pipe 7.
[0029] The test tube connector 11 is connected to the bottom of the urinary catheter 6. A guide tube 12 is installed at the bottom of the test tube connector 11. A connector 14 is connected to the periphery of the test tube connector 11. A urine collection test tube 13 is installed at the bottom of the connector 14.
[0030] Among them, the included angles formed between the urinary catheter 6 and the draining catheter 7 and between the urinary catheter 6 and the overflow tube 8 are all greater than 90 degrees, and the urinary catheter 6, the draining catheter 7 and the overflow tube 8 form a triangular structure. The internal diameter of the overflow tube 8 is smaller than the internal diameter of the draining catheter 7. The screw tube connector 5 and the urinary catheter 6 are connected by a thread. The inlet shape of the arc-shaped urinary catheter cover 1 is designed to fit the curve of the patient's body. The arc-shaped urinary catheter cover 1 has an arc-shaped cavity inside.
[0031] As can be seen from the above, when using the device, the rubber protective ring 2 is wrapped around the urethral outlet of the elderly person. During the discharge process, the urine flows into the interior of the arc-shaped catheter 1 through the inlet. Under the guidance of the arc-shaped cavity inside the arc-shaped catheter 1, the urine is effectively prevented from splashing when it comes into contact with the inner wall of the arc-shaped catheter 1, reducing air bubbles. Under the guidance of the arc-shaped catheter 1, the urine enters the interior of the catheter tube 6 through the screw connector 5. The filter plate 9 inside the catheter tube 6 filters the stones and impurities in the urine. After filtration, the urine enters the interior of the urine collection test tube 13 through the test tube connector 11, thereby achieving collection.
[0032] During the collection process, urine and stones that cannot pass smoothly through the filter plate 9 are discharged from the urination tube 7. After the urine collection tube 13 is completed, the urine stored in the catheter 6 below the filter plate 9 flows into the urination tube 7 through the overflow tube 8 to avoid urine retention inside the catheter 6. This prevents urine from leaking onto the user's hands when the urine collection tube 13 is removed, thus improving cleanliness. The spiral tube connector 5 allows for the assembly and disassembly of the arc-shaped urination cover 1 and the catheter 6, facilitating cleaning and disinfection after disassembly.
[0033] Specifically, regarding the aforementioned arc-shaped urinary catheter 1, the side of the arc-shaped urinary catheter 1 is provided with a urine air hole 3, and the cross-sectional shape of the urine air hole 3 is an L-shaped hole.
[0034] The surface of the arc-shaped urinary catheter 1 is fitted with a handle 4, and the surface of the handle 4 is provided with anti-slip texture.
[0035] As can be seen from the above, during the use of the arc-shaped urinary catheter 1, the moisture generated by the urine inside the arc-shaped urinary catheter 1 can be discharged through the urine air hole 3, reducing the contact between the moisture generated in the urine and the skin of the elderly, keeping the urethral outlet of the elderly dry and improving comfort. The use of the L-shaped urine air hole 3 can prevent urine from flying out of the arc-shaped urinary catheter 1 through the urine air hole 3 during use. The handle 4 makes it easier for the elderly or medical staff to hold the arc-shaped urinary catheter 1 during use, so as to facilitate its use.
[0036] Specifically, regarding the aforementioned urinary catheter 6, the inner wall of the urinary catheter 6 is equipped with several protrusions 10, which are located below the filter screen 9.
[0037] The protrusion 10 is located above the inlet of the overflow pipe 8.
[0038] As can be seen from the above, the protrusion 10 can limit the position of the filter plate 9 inside the catheter 6, thereby improving the filtration effect of the filter plate 9.
[0039] Specifically, regarding the aforementioned test tube connector 11 and connector 14, the test tube connector 11 has an external thread on its periphery, and the connector 14 has an internal thread that is compatible with the test tube connector 11.
[0040] As can be seen from the above, the use of a threaded connection can improve the tightness of the connection between the test tube connector 11 and the connector 14, while also making it easier for users to assemble and disassemble the urine collection test tube 13, thus improving efficiency.
[0041] The working principle of this implementation is as follows: Before use, the arc-shaped urinary catheter hood 1, the urinary catheter 6, and the urine collection tube 13 are assembled. After assembly, the handle 4 is used to wrap the rubber protective ring 2 around the urethral outlet of the elderly person. During the discharge process, the urine flows into the interior of the arc-shaped urinary catheter hood 1 through the inlet. Under the guidance of the arc-shaped urinary catheter hood 1, the urine enters the interior of the urinary catheter 6 through the screw connector 5. The filter plate 9 inside the urinary catheter 6 filters the stones and impurities in the urine. The filtered urine enters the interior of the urine collection tube 13 through the tube connector 11, thereby achieving collection. During the collection process, the urine and stones that cannot pass smoothly through the filter plate 9 are discharged from the urination tube 7. After the urine collection tube 13 has finished collecting, the urine stored in the urinary catheter 6 below the filter plate 9 flows into the urination tube 7 through the overflow pipe 8 and is discharged. After the urine collection tube 13 is removed from the tube connector 11, it can be sent for testing.
[0042] Example 2: This example is basically the same as the previous example, except that the catheter 6, the test tube connector 11 and the guide tube 12 are provided with drainage holes, and the guide tube 12 is inserted into the urine collection test tube 13.
[0043] The volume of the guide cannula 12 extending into the urine collection tube 13 is greater than the volume of the liquid in the drainage hole inside the tube connector 11 and the catheter 6.
[0044] As can be seen from the above, after the urine collection tube 13 is assembled around the tube connector 11, the guide tube 12 is inserted into the urine collection tube 13. The urine filtered by the filter screen 9 inside the catheter 6 enters the urine collection tube 13 through the guide hole. When the urine collection is completed, the excess urine is smoothly discharged through the drain tube 7 and the overflow tube 8, while the urine that has entered the guide hole remains inside the device. When the urine collection tube 13 is removed from the tube connector 11, the guide tube 12 is gradually pulled out from the urine collection tube 13. During the extraction process, the urine that has remained inside the guide hole will automatically enter the urine collection tube 13. The volume occupied by the guide tube 12 inside the urine collection tube 13 is used to replace the urine inside the guide hole, thereby effectively preventing urine overflow and optimizing the usage process.
