[0020] In some embodiments, the extension tube section is integrally formed with the urine collection and cleaning device.
[0021] In some embodiments, the shape of the retention tank matches the shape of the cleaning solution bottle so that when the cleaning solution bottle enters the retention tank through the slot, the urine collection device is engaged on the outside of the cleaning solution bottle.
[0022] The technical solution provided in this disclosure has the following advantages compared with the prior art:
[0023] The nursing device for collecting female urine samples disclosed herein comprises a storage bag body and a urine collection device. The storage bag body has a receiving cavity with a first opening. The urine collection device is located within the receiving cavity and can be removed from the cavity through the first opening. The urine collection device includes a cleaning solution bottle, a urine collection cleaning device, a disinfectant wipe, and a cleaning wipe. The cleaning solution bottle contains purified water and has an openable and closable outlet. The urine collection cleaning device has a collection tank with an inlet hole and a drain hole on the tank wall. The inlet hole is positioned above the drain hole along the extension direction of the collection tank and can communicate with the outlet hole to inject purified water into the collection tank. The tank wall is covered with a separating membrane. The drain hole allows the purified water injected into the collection tank to flow out along the separating membrane for female patients to clean their vulva. This setup allows female patients to open the storage bag and disinfect their hands with a disinfectant wipe before collecting urine samples, ensuring hand cleanliness and preventing bacterial contamination. The hands are placed outside the drainage hole; as purified water flows into the collection tank and out through the drainage hole, it wets the hands, allowing for manual cleaning of the vulva before urine collection. This meets the needs of female patients and helps prevent urine sample contamination, thus ensuring the accuracy of urine tests such as urinalysis. After cleaning, a clean wipe can be used to wipe the vulva. Meanwhile, a separation and lifting section is provided near the inlet of the isolation membrane. This section allows female patients to pull the membrane towards the drainage hole after vulvar cleaning, covering the drainage hole with the isolation membrane. The collection tank has an upward-facing slot corresponding to the female patient's vulva, allowing the patient to collect urine after the drainage hole is covered. In other words, after vulvar cleaning, the female patient uses the separation and lifting section to separate the isolation membrane from the collection tank and cover the drainage hole, exposing a clean and new collection tank with the slot exposed. The urine collection device is then placed under the vulva, and urine is collected in the tank. This ensures the urine sample is collected in a clean and new collection tank, further preventing contamination and improving the accuracy of urinalysis and other urine test results. After urine collection, the vulva can be wiped with a cleaning wipe, and hands can be disinfected with a sterile wipe to ensure the cleanliness of both hands and vulva. In other words, the nursing device for collecting urine samples from women provided in this embodiment can provide patients with more comprehensive supplies. All the supplies used for cleaning hands, rinsing the perineum, collecting urine samples, and wiping are concentrated in one storage bag. That is, only one storage bag is needed to obtain the supplies required for urine sample collection, without the need for the patient to prepare them themselves. This makes the entire urine sample collection process clear and smooth, and provides a good experience. Attached Figure Description

[0031] To better understand the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of this disclosure, the solutions disclosed herein will be further described below. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described herein can be combined with each other.
[0032] Numerous specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of this disclosure, but this disclosure may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein; obviously, the embodiments in the specification are only some, and not all, of the embodiments of this disclosure.
[0033] Reference Figures 1 to 4As shown, this embodiment provides a nursing device for collecting urine samples from women outside the body. The nursing device specifically includes a storage bag body 10 and a urine collection device. The storage bag body 10 has a receiving cavity with a first opening 101. The urine collection device is located in the receiving cavity and can be removed from the receiving cavity through the first opening 101.
[0034] The retention tank 21 has an inlet hole 23 and a drain hole 24. Along the extending direction of the retention tank 21, the inlet hole 23 is positioned above the drain hole 24 and can communicate with the outlet 11 to inject purified water into the retention tank 21. The tank wall of the retention tank 21 is covered with a separating membrane 22. The drain hole 24 allows the purified water injected into the retention tank 21 to flow out along the separating membrane 22 for female patients to clean their vulva. The extending direction of the retention tank 21 specifically refers to... Figure 2 AA direction in the middle.
[0035] The purified water mentioned above refers to water free of any impurities and minerals, which will not affect the results of routine urine tests. The cleaning solution bottle 1 has a capacity of, for example, 550-570 mL, a height of 20 cm, a diameter of 6 cm, and a diameter of 2.6 cm for the outlet 11. One end of the isolation membrane 22 near the drain hole 24 can be glued to the retention tank 21, while the remaining part of the isolation membrane 22 can be detachably connected to the tank wall of the retention tank 21 by electrostatic adsorption or other methods. Specifically, a clearance hole is provided at the position corresponding to the inlet hole 23 of the isolation membrane 22.
[0036] Simultaneously, a separation and lifting section 221 is provided near the inlet hole 23 of the isolation membrane 22. The separation and lifting section 221 is used by the female patient to pull the membrane towards the drain hole 24 after vulvar cleaning, thus covering the drain hole 24 with the isolation membrane 22. The retention tank 21 has an upward-facing opening 211 corresponding to the female patient's vulva. The opening 211 is used at least to allow the female patient to drain urine into the retention tank 21 after the drain hole 24 is covered. For example, the drain hole 24 can be at least two circular or elliptical shower holes to reduce the rate of purified water flow to some extent.
[0037] For example, patients can retrieve the storage bag body 10 from a vending machine in the hospital. When a patient needs to collect a urine sample externally, they first open the first opening 101 of the storage bag body 10 and take out the disinfection bag 31, cleaning bag 41, cleaning solution bottle 1, and urine collection device 2 from the storage bag body 10. They then open the disinfection bag 31 and use the disinfection wipe 3 to disinfect their hands, avoiding residual bacteria on the female patient's hands and ensuring the cleanliness of the female patient's hands. This, to a certain extent, avoids the possibility of urine sample contamination and ensures high accuracy of the test results. After hand disinfection, connect the outlet 11 and inlet 23. For example, place the urine collection device 2 under the vulva and place your hand at the drain hole 24. When the purified water gradually flows into the collection tank 21 and flows out through the drain hole 24, you can wet your hand and then manually clean the vulva with your wet hand. Continue this cycle until the purified water in the cleaning solution bottle 1 is exhausted. This achieves the cleaning of the vulva before urine collection. Afterward, open the cleaning bag 41 and use the cleaning cloth 4 to wipe the vulva, which meets the vulva cleaning needs of female patients.
[0038] After the vulva is cleaned, the female patient can use the separating lifting part 221 through the slot 211 to lift the side of the isolation membrane 22 near the inlet hole 23, so that the isolation membrane 22 is removed from the retention tank 21 and covers the drain hole 24. At this time, the tank wall of the brand-new retention tank 21 will be exposed, and the isolation membrane 22 is located outside the slot 211. Then, the urine collection device 2 is placed under the vulva and urine is collected into the retention tank 21 through the slot 211 for subsequent urinalysis and other urine tests. This further avoids the possibility of urine sample contamination and ensures the accuracy of urinalysis and other urine test results.
[0039] Meanwhile, the separation and lifting part 221 can also prevent female patients from directly contacting the isolation membrane 22 and causing contamination of the isolation membrane 22 and the urine sample to a certain extent, ensuring the cleanliness of the urine sample and improving the accuracy of the test results.
[0040] For example, when injecting purified water into the urine collection device 2, the device can be tilted downwards so that the purified water flows out promptly along the isolation membrane 22 towards the drain hole 24 under its own weight. This facilitates cleaning the vulva of female patients and ensures that no purified water remains on the isolation membrane 22. Thus, when the isolation membrane 22 is separated from the collection tank 21 and placed over the drain hole 24, the exposed collection tank 21 remains clean and pristine, without affecting the urine sample. For example, the walls of the collection tank 21 can be smooth.
[0041] Meanwhile, after urine collection, the vulva can be wiped with a cleaning wipe 4 and the hands can be disinfected with a disinfecting wipe 3 to ensure the cleanliness of the hands and vulva. It also has a certain skin care effect on the hands and vulva, providing patients with more comprehensive supplies. All the supplies used for cleaning hands, rinsing the perineum, collecting urine samples, and wiping are concentrated in one storage bag 10, so that patients do not have to prepare them themselves. This makes the whole urine sample collection process comfortable, the steps clear and smooth, and helps to improve the efficiency of urine sample collection.
[0042] For example, a disinfection bag 31 and a cleaning bag 41 can be respectively set inside the storage bag body 10, and the disinfection cloth 3 can be placed inside the disinfection bag 31, and the disinfection bag 31 has a second opening 32 for taking out the disinfection cloth 3; the cleaning cloth 4 can be placed inside the cleaning bag 41, and the cleaning bag 41 has a third opening 42 for taking out the cleaning cloth 4.
[0043] For example, the disinfection bag 31 can be divided into two, to independently package at least two disinfection wipes 3. For instance, one disinfection bag 31 can be used before urine collection and another after urine collection. For example, the disinfection wipes 3 can be ordinary wet wipes, which will not affect the urine sample. Specifically, they can be cotton wipes, paper towels, etc.
[0044] For example, the cleaning bag 41 can be divided into two, to independently package at least two cleaning wipes 4. For example, one cleaning bag 41 can be used after rinsing the vulva and another after collecting a urine sample. For example, the cleaning wipes 4 can be soft, comfortable, and highly absorbent sanitary napkins; the cleaning wipes 4 can also be paper towels, etc., as long as they are absorbent and skin-friendly.
[0045] For example, the first opening 101, the second opening 32, and the third opening 42 can be easy-tear sealing structures or zippers, etc., to form a closed package. For example, urine collection devices can be disinfected before being packaged through the storage bag body 10, and the disinfection date can be marked on the outside of the storage bag body 10.
[0046] The nursing device for collecting female urine samples provided in this embodiment includes a storage bag body 10 and a urine collection device. The storage bag body 10 has a receiving cavity with a first opening 101. The urine collection device is located in the receiving cavity and can be removed from the cavity through the first opening 101. The urine collection device includes a cleaning solution bottle 1, a urine collection cleaning component 2, a disinfectant wipe 3, and a cleaning wipe 4. The cleaning solution bottle 1 contains purified water and has an openable and closable outlet 11. The urine collection device 2 is equipped with a collection tank 21. An inlet hole 23 and a drain hole 24 are opened on the tank wall of the collection tank 21. The inlet hole 23 is positioned above the drain hole 24 along the extension direction of the collection tank 21. The inlet hole 23 can communicate with the outlet 11 to inject pure water into the collection tank 21. The tank wall of the collection tank 21 is covered with a separation membrane 22. The drain hole 24 is used to allow the pure water injected into the collection tank 21 to flow out along the separation membrane 22 for female patients to clean their vulva. This setup allows female patients to open the storage bag 10 and disinfect their hands with the disinfectant wipe 3 before collecting urine samples, ensuring hand cleanliness and preventing bacterial contamination of the urine sample. The patient's hands are placed outside the drainage hole 24. When purified water flows into the collection tank 21 and out through the drainage hole 24, it wets the hands. The wetted hands are then used to manually clean the vulva, thus achieving pre-collection cleaning and meeting the needs of female patients. This also helps prevent urine sample contamination to a certain extent, ensuring the cleanliness of the urine sample and improving the accuracy of urine tests such as urinalysis. After cleaning the vulva, a cleaning wipe 4 can be used to wipe it. Meanwhile, a separation and lifting part 221 is provided at the position of the isolation membrane 22 near the inlet hole 23. The separation and lifting part 221 is used for the female patient to lift the membrane 22 towards the outlet hole 24 after the vulva is cleaned, and to cover the outlet hole 24 with the isolation membrane 22. The urine collection tank 21 has an upward-facing slot 211 that corresponds to the female patient's vulva. The slot 211 is used at least for the female patient to collect urine into the urine collection tank 21 after the outlet hole 24 is covered. That is, after the vulva is cleaned, the female patient separates the isolation membrane 22 from the urine collection tank and covers the outlet hole 24 with the separation and lifting part 221, thereby exposing the clean and new urine collection tank 21 and exposing the slot 211. Then, the urine collection device 2 is placed below the vulva and urine is collected into the urine collection tank 21. That is, when collecting urine, the urine sample will be collected in the clean and new urine collection tank 21, which further avoids the contamination of the urine sample and improves the accuracy of urine test results such as routine urine tests. At the same time, after urinating, the vulva can be wiped with a cleaning wipe 4 and the hands can be disinfected with a disinfecting wipe 3 to ensure the cleanliness of the hands and vulva.In other words, the nursing device for collecting urine samples from women provided in this embodiment can provide patients with more comprehensive supplies. All the supplies used for cleaning hands, rinsing the perineum, collecting urine samples, and wiping are concentrated in one storage bag body 10. That is, only one storage bag body 10 is needed to obtain the supplies required for urine sample collection, without the need for the patient to prepare them themselves. This makes the entire urine sample collection process clear and smooth, and provides a good experience.
[0047] In a specific implementation, for example, a control structure can be provided on the side of the cleaning solution bottle 1 near the outlet 11. At least a portion of the purified water is located between the control structure and the bottom of the cleaning solution bottle 1 on the side furthest from the outlet 11. The control structure is used to control the flow state of the purified water in the cleaning solution bottle 1 relative to the outlet 11. The flow state of the purified water includes starting to flow and stopping flow. Starting to flow includes increasing the flow rate and decreasing the flow rate. When the purified water starts to flow, it can flow from the outlet 11 into the retention tank 21. When the purified water stops flowing, it is stored in the cleaning solution bottle 1.
[0048] The above settings allow patients to flexibly control the flow of the cleaning water according to their actual needs. For example, before washing, the purified water can be stopped by controlling the mechanism. When washing begins, the purified water can be controlled to start flowing to wet the hands. After the hands are wet, the purified water can be stopped again when washing the vulva. This cycle continues until the washing is complete, thus ensuring the washing effect to a certain extent and providing flexible and convenient control.
[0049] For example, the control structure described above can be a control valve, which includes a control plate located at the outlet 11. A through hole is provided through the control plate, and an adjusting plate is movably connected to the control plate. The adjusting plate can move relative to the through hole to either cover the through hole to stop the flow of purified water to the outlet 11 or to offset it from the through hole to allow the purified water to flow. In a specific implementation, a gripping part can be provided on the adjusting plate, and a movable clearance opening can be provided on the cleaning solution bottle 1 for the gripping part to extend outside the cleaning solution bottle 1. This allows the patient to grip the gripping part to move the adjusting plate relative to the through hole, thereby adjusting the flow of purified water, making it convenient to use.
[0050] In some embodiments, at least the edge of the wall of the drainage tank 21 is a smooth wall. This configuration ensures that the edge of the opening 211 of the drainage tank 21 will not scratch the patient when the urine collection device 2 comes into contact with the human body, thus providing a certain degree of protection for the patient.
[0051] For example, the urine-washing and urine-holding device 2 could be made of a transparent plastic material with a certain degree of hardness.
[0052] For example, multiple fresh and elegant colors of clean urine collection items could be made for patients to choose from, in order to improve the cold and negative experience of medical care and allow patients to feel a sense of self-participation through color.
[0053] In some embodiments, refer to Figures 2 to 4 As shown, an external thread 111 is provided on the outer periphery of the outlet 11. A first internal thread 231 is provided on the wall of the inlet hole 23. The first internal thread 231 can be matched and connected with the external thread 111 so that the cleaning liquid bottle 1 is connected above the urine collection device 2.
[0054] This design allows for easy connection between the urine collection device and the cleaning fluid bottle 1 via the matching of the first internal thread 231 and the external thread 111 during use. This facilitates communication between the outlet 11 and the inlet 23. Furthermore, when the urine collection device 2 and the cleaning fluid bottle 1 are connected, the cleaning fluid bottle 1 can function as an extension of the arm, allowing the patient to hold the cleaning fluid bottle 1 and align the urine collection device 2 with the vulva. This makes the use of the urine collection device more convenient, and the two devices will not detach during use.
[0055] In practical use, for example, a sealing film can be pasted on the outlet 11 of the cleaning solution bottle 1 before urine collection to further prevent the residual pure water in the cleaning solution bottle 1 from flowing into the urine collection tank 21 during the urine collection process, thus further ensuring the cleanliness of the urine collection tank 21 before urine collection.
[0056] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 3 As shown, the cleaning fluid bottle 1 includes a cap 12 that covers the outlet 11, and at least a portion of the cap 12 surrounds the outer periphery of the outlet 11. The cap 12 is provided with a second internal thread that can mate with the external thread 111 to cover the outlet 11 with the cap 12.
[0057] This design can, to some extent, prevent the pure water from overflowing when the cleaning solution bottle 1 is not in use, and provides waterproof protection for the internal structure of the storage bag body 10. Furthermore, this design cleverly utilizes the external thread 111 of the cleaning solution bottle 1, allowing for both sealing of the bottle and connection between the bottle and the urine collection container 2, making it convenient to use.
[0058] For example, before cleaning the vulva, first unscrew the bottle cap 12 from the liquid outlet 11, and then match and connect the second internal thread and the external thread 111 so that the urine collection part 2 and the cleaning liquid bottle 1 can be connected together for use.
[0059] Of course, in other embodiments, a sealing film can be detachably provided at the liquid outlet 11. For example, the sealing film can be removed before cleaning.
[0060] In some embodiments, refer to Figures 3 to 4 As shown, the cleaning solution bottle 1 includes a bottle body 13 containing purified water, an outlet 11 located on the bottle body 13, and an anti-slip structure 131 provided on the bottle body 13. This design can, to a certain extent, prevent the patient from slipping when holding the cleaning solution bottle 1, making it easier for the patient to grip the cleaning solution bottle 1, ensuring the stability of the patient holding the cleaning solution bottle 1, and ensuring the smooth progress of the entire urine collection process.
[0061] For example, the aforementioned anti-slip structure 131 can be provided 5-10cm below the bottom of the bottle body 13.
[0062] In some embodiments, the anti-slip structure 131 includes an anti-slip groove recessed toward the inner cavity of the bottle body 13. This results in a simple structure and good anti-slip effect for the anti-slip structure 131.
[0063] Of course, in other embodiments, the anti-slip structure 131 may also be an anti-slip protrusion protruding toward the inner cavity away from the cleaning liquid bottle 1.
[0064] In some embodiments, refer to Figures 3 to 4 As shown, the shape of the liquid collection tank 21 matches the shape of the cleaning liquid bottle 1 so that when the cleaning liquid bottle 1 enters the liquid collection tank 21 through the slot 211, the urine collection and cleaning component 2 is locked on the outside of the cleaning liquid bottle 1.
[0065] In other words, when the urine collection device 2 is not in use, it can be clipped onto the outside of the cleaning solution bottle 1 (for example, the urine collection device 2 can be made of plastic; for example, when clipping the urine collection device 2 onto the outside of the cleaning solution bottle 1, the urine collection device 2 can be deformed at the opening 211 of the collection tank 21, so that the urine collection device 2 fits onto part of the outside of the cleaning solution bottle 1; when the deformation of the urine collection device 2 is released, the urine collection device 2 can be clipped onto the outside of the cleaning solution bottle 1). This makes the urine collection device 2 and the cleaning solution bottle 1 form a whole, with good fit, easy to store and does not take up space, thus reducing the volume of the storage bag body 10. This achieves miniaturization of the nursing device for collecting female urine samples from outside the body. Moreover, before urine collection is needed, the urine collection device 2 can be directly separated from the outside of the cleaning solution bottle 1, making it convenient to use.
[0066] For example, the length of the urine collection device 2 is 14cm and the diameter is 6.5cm. For example, it can be shaped like a teaspoon. For example, a 2cm thick groove wall can be provided above the urine collection device 2. For example, the liquid inlet hole 23 can be opened on the 2cm thick groove wall. The diameter of the liquid inlet hole 23 is 3cm.
[0067] In some embodiments, refer to Figures 2 to 4As shown, along the extension direction of the liquid retention groove 21, the central axis of the liquid inlet hole 23 extends obliquely upward so that when the first internal thread 231 matches the external thread 111, the urine collection component 2 and the cleaning liquid bottle 1 form a preset angle.
[0068] Specifically, the extension direction of the liquid retention tank 21 is as follows: Figure 2 The AA direction shown refers specifically to the central axis of the inlet 23 extending to the right at an angle away from A. The urine collection device 2 and the cleaning solution bottle 1 can form a preset angle, specifically meaning that when the urine collection device 2 and the cleaning solution bottle 1 are connected and used, a preset angle is formed between them when viewed from the side by a female patient.
[0069] This design allows the urine collection device to form a natural arc between the urine collection component 2 and the cleaning solution bottle 1 during use, so that the urine collection device can fit the lower abdomen and vulva of the female patient (specifically, the urine collection component 2 can fit the perineum). The cleaning solution bottle 1 also serves as an extension of the arm, facilitating the rinsing of the vulva and the collection of urine, making it more convenient to use. Moreover, this design can, to some extent, prevent the contamination of the hands during urine collection.
[0070] For example, the central axis of the inlet hole 23 can be tilted upward by about 35° so that the urine collection device 2 and the cleaning liquid bottle 1 can form a preset angle of 120-130°.
[0071] For example, after cleaning the vulva, the patient can first expel the first part of the urine, then slightly adjust the wrist left and right to place the urine collection device 2 under the vulva for convenient urine collection.
[0072] For example, when collecting urine samples, hospitals provide patients with a urine sample collection catheter.
[0073] In some embodiments, refer to Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the wall of the collection tank 21 is also provided with a urine outlet hole 25 for communicating with the urine specimen guide tube. The urine outlet hole 25 is located on the same side as the inlet hole 23.
[0074] This design facilitates the transfer of urine samples to the urine sample collection tube for subsequent testing. For example, after urine collection is completed, the urine outlet 25 can be connected to the opening of the urine sample collection tube to pour the urine from the urine collection device 2 into the urine sample collection tube. By positioning the urine outlet 25 on the same side as the inlet 23, it can, to some extent, prevent the simultaneous discharge of purified water from the drain 24 and urine outlet 25 during vulvar cleaning.
[0075] In practice, the end of the isolation membrane 22 near the liquid inlet 23 can be pre-covered at the urine outlet 25, and when the isolation membrane is separated from the liquid retention tank 21 by the separation lifting part 221, the urine outlet 25 is opened to transfer the urine sample.
[0076] In some embodiments, refer to Figures 2 to 4 As shown, an extension tube section 251 extending in a direction away from the drain hole 24 is provided at the urine outlet 25. The extension tube section 251 is used to correspond to the urine specimen guide tube to guide the urine into the urine specimen guide tube.
[0077] This design allows for some guidance of the urine flowing from the urine outlet 25 through the extension tube 251, which helps to prevent urine from spilling and contaminating hands when poured into the urine collection tube. This ensures the amount of urine in the urine collection tube and also provides high accuracy when pouring the urine.
[0078] In some embodiments, refer to Figures 2 to 4 As shown, the outer diameter of the extension tube section 251 is not greater than the diameter of the urine sample guide tube.
[0079] This design further enhances the urine flow guidance effect of the extension tube 251, further preventing urine from spilling when poured into the urine sample guide tube, and also improves the accuracy of urine pouring, making it more convenient to use.
[0080] For example, the extension tube segment 251 can be aligned with the opening of the urine specimen guide tube, or when the diameter of the extension tube segment 251 is smaller than the diameter of the urine specimen guide tube, the extension tube segment 251 can be directly inserted into the urine specimen guide tube, and then the urine can be transferred and poured into the urine specimen guide tube, making it more convenient to use.
[0081] For example, the length of the extension tube 251 is, for example, 2 cm, the diameter is, for example, 0.8 cm, and it is inclined outward at 20° away from the direction of the urine collection device 2.
[0082] In some embodiments, the extension tube segment 251 and the urine collection and cleaning component 2 are integrally formed. This configuration ensures good integrity and high connection strength between the extension tube segment 251 and the urine collection and cleaning component 2, thereby ensuring stability during use and facilitating assembly and use, which helps to improve the efficiency of urine collection and cleaning.
