Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical devices, specifically to a urine collector for collecting urine from female infants. Background Technology

[0002] In a medical setting, accurate urine collection from female infants is crucial for disease diagnosis, such as detecting urinary tract infections or kidney disease. For home care, parents also need a convenient and hygienic urine collection tool to observe their infant's urine and promptly detect any abnormalities. For instance, if an infant exhibits symptoms such as frequent urination, urgency, painful urination, or abnormal urine color or odor, parents can use a urine collector to collect the urine and promptly take it to the hospital for examination. This requires the urine collector to be simple and easy to use, and to ensure that the urine quality is not compromised.

[0003] Due to the physiological differences between male and female infants, conventional urine collection devices are inconvenient. Conventional urine collectors, such as the one for female infants (publication number CN205593803U), require holding the collector against the bottom of the infant's perineum to guide urine into the bag. The edges of the collection bag are sharp and can easily injure the infant, and the process is tedious and time-consuming. Ordinary urine collection bags are often adhesive-type, directly attached to the infant's vulva through an adhesive layer. However, infants are active, and the adhesive can easily loosen, leading to leakage and a low collection success rate. Invasive devices such as catheters require professional operation, are complex to use, and are unsuitable for daily use. Furthermore, existing new urine collection devices only focus on using a urine-blocking strip to keep urine in the perineum, such as the disposable female infant urine collection device (publication number CN111297545B). Due to physiological structure, when urine flows out, the urine-blocking strip cannot completely prevent urine from flowing to the anus, and since there is no protective device for the buttocks, urine may leak out from the buttocks. Some pull-up-style urine collection devices are made of hydrophobic materials, which are mostly not breathable. In order to ensure that the urine-blocking strip fits completely when the baby is moving, or to prevent urine from leaking from the sides, the pull-up diaper may need to fit tightly to the baby's body. In this case, the baby's perineum and the pull-up diaper are in a relatively tight, sealed space. When a large amount of urine flows out, there will inevitably be residual urine between the perineum and the pull-up diaper. If the urine collection device is not changed in time, it may cause the baby's perineal skin to be in a moist environment, which can easily lead to diaper rash, eczema and other skin problems. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the problems of leakage and discomfort in existing urine collection devices specifically designed for female infants.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical approach adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is as follows: A urine collector for collecting urine from female infants is designed. The main body of the collector is a pull-up diaper, with a leakage hole in the crotch area. A urine collection bag is located at the lower end of the leakage hole, and a valve is installed on the urine collection bag. A urine-blocking strip is installed inside the pull-up diaper. This strip is ring-shaped, integrally formed with a U-shaped front end and a fan-shaped rear end. The front end fits against the top of the female infant's perineum, the middle section is located at the edge of the crotch area, and the rear end completely covers the female infant's buttocks, reaching the highest point of the gluteal cleft. This prevents urine leakage without causing discomfort to the female infant. Furthermore, a urine-guiding groove is provided in the crotch area of ​​the pull-up diaper. While the urine-guiding strip fits against the perineum, there is a certain gap between the perineum and the pull-up diaper for ventilation. Because the leakage hole is positioned low, urine flows in more easily, achieving a urine-guiding effect.

[0006] The urine-blocking strip has a C-shaped cross-section with the opening facing inward. Because it is hollow, it is more comfortable than the traditional solid urine-blocking strip. It is also less likely to leave indentations after wearing it for a long time. When urine flows to the side, the C-shaped strip provides some space to accommodate it, preventing urine from flowing out through the gap between the body and the strip. When in use, the tilted strip can also provide some urination guidance.

[0007] Furthermore, this urine collector can be used in conjunction with anal dressings to prevent urine contamination.

[0008] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is as follows:

[0009] Design a urine collection device for collecting urine from female infants, including pull-up pants, a collection bag, and a urine-blocking strip. The collection bag is located under the pull-up pants; the urine-blocking strip is located above the pull-up pants; the urine-blocking strip is an irregular ring shape, with the front end fitting against the top of the female infant's perineum, the middle section located at the edge of the crotch, and the rear end wrapping around the female infant's buttocks.

[0010] Furthermore, the urine-blocking strip has a C-shaped cross-section.

[0011] Furthermore, the pull-up diaper has a leakage hole in the middle, and the leakage hole is located inside the urine-blocking strip.

[0012] Furthermore, a urinary drainage channel is provided between the urinary leakage hole and the urinary blocking strip located in the perineum.

[0013] Furthermore, a valve is installed at the bottom of the collection bag.

[0014] Furthermore, the anal patch includes an adhesive part and a fitting part, the fitting part is disposed on the adhesive part, and the diameter of the fitting part is smaller than that of the adhesive part, the fitting part is fitted onto the anus of the female infant.

[0015] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0016] 1. The diaper band is C-shaped, with the front end fitting snugly against the top of the baby girl's perineum and the back end wrapping around her buttocks. This structure allows for a close fit to the baby's body, effectively preventing urine leakage from the perineum and buttocks. The C-shaped cross-section is hollow, offering greater comfort compared to solid diaper bands and reducing the likelihood of pressure marks even after prolonged wear. Additionally, when urine flows to the sides, the hollow portion provides some space to contain it, preventing urine from leaking through gaps between the body and the band. The angled design also helps to guide urine flow.

[0017] 2. The main body uses pull-up pants, eliminating the need to hold the baby constantly, making urine collection more convenient. The drainage channel between the leakage hole and the perineal diaper strip increases the breathability of the perineum, reducing skin problems. The overall rounded edges also reduce injury to the baby girl's body.

[0018] 3. The anal patch and a urinary barrier strip that can wrap around the buttocks replace the traditional urinary barrier strip set at the bottom of the perineum, improving comfort. Attached Figure Description

[0029] refer to Figure 1-6 This utility model provides a urine collector for collecting urine from female infants, including a pull-up diaper 10, a collection bag 20, and a urine-blocking strip 30.

[0030] In practice, the diaper band 30 can be fixed to the inside of the pull-up diaper 10 by adhesive or sewing. The diaper band 30 is made of soft silicone, which has good elasticity and flexibility, conforming to the curves of a baby girl's body. The diaper band 30 is integrally molded with a U-shaped front end and a fan-shaped rear end. The length of the diaper band 30 should completely cover the baby girl's perineum and buttocks, with the front end fitting against the top of the perineum, the middle section positioned at the crotch edge, and the rear end reaching the highest point of the baby girl's buttocks. The width of the diaper band 30 should be adjusted according to the baby girl's body shape, generally around 2-4 cm. The diaper band 30 has a C-shaped opening facing inwards, with an opening width of approximately 0.5-1 cm, ensuring good diaper-blocking effect without causing discomfort to the baby girl.

[0031] In practice, the size of the pull-up diapers 10 is designed according to the body size of girls of different ages, generally available in multiple sizes such as S, M, and L. The pull-up diapers 10 are shaped to conform to the curves of a girl's body, with elastic cords connecting the front and back of the waist. The length covers the girl's waist to the upper thigh, and the width covers her buttocks. The edges of the waist and legs are edged with soft fabric to prevent scratching the girl's skin. The main material can be a soft, hydrophobic material.

[0032] The urination hole 11 is located in the middle of the pull-up diaper 10 and inside the diaper strip 30. The size of the urination hole 11 is designed according to the urine volume and urination speed of female infants, and is generally about 2-3 cm. The pull-up diaper 10 is recessed downward to form a urine-guiding groove 12 between the urination hole 11 and the diaper strip 30 located in the perineum. This urine-guiding groove 12 can increase the breathability of the perineum and also prevent urine from accumulating around the urination hole 11 to a certain extent.

[0033] In practice, the collection bag 20 is fixed below the leakage hole 11 by means such as sewing or heat pressing. The capacity of the collection bag 20 is designed according to the female infant's urine output, generally around 100-300 ml. The shape of the collection bag 20 can be rectangular or oval, and its length should be sufficient to hang below the pull-up diaper without affecting the infant's movement. A valve 40 is provided at the bottom of the collection bag 20. The diameter of the valve 40 can be around 0.5 cm, and it consists of a threaded valve body and a rotating cap. The rotating cap is connected to the valve body by threads, and can be rotated to open or close the valve.

[0034] In practical implementation, an anal patch 50 is used in conjunction with the urine collection device. This patch includes an adhesive part 51 and a fitting part 52. The fitting part 52 is positioned on the adhesive part 51, and its diameter should be slightly smaller than the diameter of the infant's anus, generally around 1-2 cm. The adhesive part 51 should be large enough to completely cover the fitting part and have a certain adhesive area on the skin around the infant's anus to ensure a firm bond. The adhesive part 51 of the anal patch 50 can use a mild, hypoallergenic medical adhesive, such as an acrylic adhesive. This type of adhesive has low skin irritation, adheres firmly, and is not easily detached. The fitting part 52 can be made of soft cotton or hydrocolloid material, which can fit snugly against the infant's anus without causing skin damage.

[0035] In practice, clean the baby girl's anus thoroughly and prepare the anal patch 50. Align the adhesive part 52 with the baby girl's anus and apply it, then attach the adhesive part 51 to the skin around the baby girl's anus. (Alternatively, the anal patch 50 can be omitted; simply cleaning the anus is sufficient.) Lay the baby girl on a flat surface, unfold the pull-up diaper 10, and gently place the baby girl's legs into the pull-up diaper 10. Then pull the pull-up diaper 10 upwards to cover the baby girl's buttocks. Adjust the position of the diaper strip 30 so that its front end fits against the top of the baby girl's perineum and its back end covers the baby girl's buttocks. After the baby girl urinates, the health status can be assessed by observing the color and amount of urine in the collection bag 20. If a urine sample needs to be collected for testing, the valve 40 at the bottom of the collection bag 20 can be opened to pour the urine into a container.

[0036] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Various modifications and variations can be made to this utility model by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
