Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of medical device technology, and specifically relates to a disposable urinary catheterization and drainage device. Background Technology

[0002] In clinical practice, some patients require urinary catheterization, such as some stroke patients, incontinent patients, spinal cord injury patients, postoperative patients with limited mobility, and patients with obstructive urinary tract diseases. During this procedure, a catheter is inserted through the urethra into the bladder to guide urine out to a urine bag. However, existing urine bags are generally designed to be large to increase capacity, resulting in a large footprint and making them inconvenient to place in a patient's gown pocket for operation and storage. Although existing urine bags are made of soft materials such as PET, AL, or PE, they are still not easy to fold, further increasing their size and making them inconvenient to put in a pocket or carry, severely hindering the patient's activity and recovery. Furthermore, some urine bags use an integrated catheter structure, which makes it difficult to flexibly control the timing of catheterization, and requires repeated insertion and removal of the catheter after urine collection, which can easily cause urethral mucosal damage or even infection. In addition, existing urinary catheters are generally simple tube structures. If there is urine in the bladder during the insertion process, urine will flow out from the catheter's interface, causing urine spillage and contamination. It is also impossible to effectively control the opening and closing of the catheter and the timing of catheterization.

[0003] Therefore, it is necessary to design a disposable urinary catheterization device that can at least solve some of the above problems and defects. Summary of the Invention

[0035] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand this utility model, it will now be further described in conjunction with specific embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are for illustrative and explanatory purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model.

[0036] Example 1:

[0037] like Figures 1-6 As shown, this utility model provides a disposable urinary catheterization and drainage device, including a urinary catheter 1, a sealing member, and a fluid collection bag 2 connected in sequence. The fluid collection bag 2 is a folded fluid collection bag 2 with at least one pre-compression fold line; specifically, in conjunction with Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the fluid storage bag 2 in this embodiment is provided with two pre-compression folding lines so that the fluid storage bag 2 is a three-section structure that can be folded twice, which effectively reduces the space occupied by the fluid storage bag 2. During use, the fluid storage bag 2 can be folded and placed in the pocket of the patient's gown for easy carrying and reduces the impact on the patient's activities.

[0038] refer to Figure 2 As shown, the storage bag 2 is a transparent bag with capacity markings. It can be made of double-layer co-extruded PE film to ensure a burst strength greater than 35 kPa, improving safety. A pre-cut tear slit 21 is provided on one side near the bottom of the storage bag 2, and a guide arrow is provided at the pre-cut tear slit 21. The storage bag 2 is equipped with a drainage tube 3 connected to the internal storage chamber. A second anti-backflow duckbill valve 31 is provided at the end of the drainage tube 3 that extends into the internal storage chamber of the storage bag 2 to prevent urine flowing into the storage bag 2 from flowing back into the drainage tube 3, causing leakage or contamination.

[0039] The sealing components include a connector 4 located at the end of the urinary catheter 1 and a sleeve 5 located at the end of the drainage tube 3. The connector 4 is detachably inserted into the sleeve 5 to achieve a detachable connection between the reservoir bag 2 and the urinary catheter 1.

[0040] Specifically, in combination Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the connector 4 includes a seat tube 41 connected to the catheter 1, an insertion tube 42 connected to the seat tube 41, and a first anti-backflow duckbill valve 43. The first anti-backflow duckbill valve 43 is disposed in the inner cavity of the insertion tube 42. The outer diameter of the seat tube 41 is larger than the outer diameter of the catheter 1, the outer diameter of the insertion tube 42 is larger than the outer diameter of the seat tube 41, and the inner diameter of the insertion tube 42 is larger than the inner diameters of the seat tube 41 and the catheter 1, so as to accommodate the first anti-backflow duckbill valve 43, thereby allowing urine to flow in one direction and not backflow into the patient's bladder. It should be noted that the anti-backflow duckbill valve is a mature existing technology, and its specific structure and principle will not be described here.

[0041] The socket 5 includes a transition portion 51 connected to the drainage tube 3, an outer tube portion 52 connected to the transition portion 51, and an inner tube portion 53. The inner and outer diameters of the outer tube portion 52 are both larger than the inner and outer diameters of the drainage tube 3. The transition portion 51 has a tapered tube structure connecting the drainage tube 3, the outer tube portion 52, and the inner tube portion 53. The inner tube portion 53 and the outer tube portion 52 form a nested ring structure. The inner diameter of the outer tube portion 52 is adapted to the outer diameter of the insertion tube portion 42, and the outer diameter of the inner tube portion 53 is adapted to the inner diameter of the insertion tube portion 42, so that the insertion tube portion 42 is inserted into the spacer area formed by the outer tube portion 52 and the inner tube portion 53. For details, please refer to [reference needed]. Figure 4 As shown.

[0042] Furthermore, the inner wall of the outer tube 52 is provided with an internal thread, the outer wall of the insertion tube 42 is provided with an external thread, and the outer wall of the outer tube 52 and the outer wall of the seat tube 41 are provided with anti-slip textures 6, so as to facilitate the threaded connection of the insertion piece 4 and the sleeve piece 5 by gripping the anti-slip textures 6.

[0043] Furthermore, the sealing component also includes a sealing ring gasket 8 disposed between the outer tube portion 52 and the inner tube portion 53. After the plug-in component 4 and the sleeve component 5 are fully tightened, the sealing ring gasket 8 abuts against the end of the plug-in portion 42 to achieve a sealed connection. Specifically, the sealing ring gasket 8 can be a silicone sealing ring with a Shore hardness of 40A.

[0044] like Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, further, a flow switch is provided at one end of the urinary catheter 1 near the connector 4. The flow switch includes a first connector 11 and a second connector 12 that are movably connected. The first connector 11 is located near the connector 4 and is movably connected to the outer periphery of the second connector 12 to realize the connection and disconnection of the urinary catheter 1, so as to avoid the uncontrollable outflow of a large amount of urine.

[0045] refer to Figure 6As shown, the first connector 11 is provided with a main passage cavity 111 that communicates with the inner lumen of the catheter 1. The main passage cavity 111 is located on the outer periphery of the catheter 1. The second connector 12 is movably inserted into the main passage cavity 111. The second connector 12 is provided with a secondary passage cavity 121 that communicates with the inner lumen of the catheter 1. The secondary passage cavity 121 is located on the outer periphery of the catheter 1. The first connector 11 is also provided with a sealing head 112 that is adapted to the inner lumen of the catheter 1, so as to control whether the secondary passage cavity 121 is connected to the inner lumen of the catheter 1. Specifically, when the first connector 11 and the second connector 12 are pushed to bring them close together, the sealing head 112 extends into the inner cavity of the catheter 1 at the second connector 12 and seals the connecting slot on the inner wall of the second connector 12, so that the secondary passage cavity 121 and the inner cavity of the insertion end of the catheter 1 are in a blocked and isolated state. At this time, the catheter 1 is in a closed state and no urine will flow out from the port of the connector 4. When the first connector 11 and the second connector 12 are pulled away from each other, the sealing head 112 disengages from the sealing of the connecting slot on the inner wall of the second connector 12, and the urine flows through the inner cavity of the catheter 1 into the secondary passage cavity 121 and the main passage cavity 111, and finally flows through the connecting slot on the inner wall of the first connector 11 into the inner cavity of the catheter 1 on the other side (the side closer to the connector 4). At this time, the catheter 1 is in a passable state.

[0046] Optionally, in some embodiments, the insertion tube 42, the seat tube 41, and the urinary catheter 1 are connected in an integral structure, and the transition section 51, the outer tube 52, the inner tube 53, and the drainage tube 3 are connected in an integral structure.

[0047] Example 2:

[0048] In embodiment 2 of this utility model, using Figure 7 and Figure 8 The following description will be provided. Furthermore, descriptions of parts that are no different from those in Embodiment 1 will be omitted, and the same reference numerals will be used instead.

[0049] like Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the disposable urinary catheterization and drainage device of this utility model has an elastic clamping member 7 symmetrical about its axis center on the outer wall of the outer tube 52. Specifically, the elastic clamping member 7 includes a pressing part 71 and a clamping part 72 connected to each other. The clamping part 72 is provided with an inwardly protruding protrusion 73. The minimum distance between the protrusions 73 on both sides of the elastic clamping member 7 is less than the outer diameter of the insertion tube 42.

[0050] refer to Figure 8As shown, during the connection process between the socket 5 and the insert 4, the protrusion 73 of the clamping part 72 abuts against the outer wall of the insertion tube part 42 and extends outward until the insertion tube part 42 of the insert 4 is completely inserted into the socket 5. At this time, the protrusion 73 moves to the bottom of the insertion tube part 42 (the connection position between the insertion tube part 42 and the seat tube part 41). Under the elastic action of the clamping part 72 itself, the protrusion 73 extends inward, so that the protrusion 73 abuts against the bottom wall of the insertion tube part 42, thereby playing a locking and clamping role. When it is necessary to replace the liquid storage bag 2, simply press the pressing part 71 of the elastic clamping parts 7 on both sides manually, which can drive the protrusion 73 of the clamping part 72 to disengage from the bottom wall of the insertion tube part 42, so as to realize the disassembly and separation of the insert 4 and the socket 5.

[0051] It should be noted that, in order to ensure the sealing and stability of the connection, the elastic clips 7 on both sides are made of ABS plastic elastic parts with an opening and closing force of 2-3N. During the opening process, two fingers need to be pressed simultaneously to unlock, which effectively avoids separation caused by accidental contact and plays a role in preventing accidental contact.

[0052] Example 3:

[0053] In embodiment 3 of this utility model, using Figure 9 The following description will be provided. Furthermore, descriptions of parts that are no different from those in Embodiment 2 will be omitted, and the same reference numerals will be used instead.

[0054] like Figure 9 As shown, the disposable urinary catheter drainage device of this utility model includes a urinary catheter 1 with a fixing strap 9 connected thereto, which is used to secure it to the leg area, improving overall stability and preventing accidental dislodgement of the urinary catheter 1, thus avoiding the need for re-insertion of the urinary catheter 1. Specifically, the fixing strap 9 can be made of elastic spandex material, and the two ends of the fixing strap 9 can be connected by Velcro.

[0055] Optionally, in some embodiments, the drainage tube 3 is also provided with a fixing strap 9 connected thereto, so as to fix the drainage tube 3 and avoid accidental contact and pulling caused by messy pipelines.

[0056] In summary, the disposable urinary catheterization device provided by this utility model improves portability and reduces the impact on patient activities by setting up a foldable storage bag, and increases the urine storage capacity. At the same time, the storage bag and the urinary catheter are detachably connected by a tight connector, which facilitates the replacement of the storage bag and avoids urethral mucosal infection and damage caused by repeated insertion and removal of the catheter.

[0057] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and do not limit the patent scope of the present utility model. All equivalent changes and modifications made within the scope of the present utility model shall still fall within the scope of the present utility model.
