Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical auxiliary equipment, and more particularly to the field of urine collection, specifically referring to a disposable urine collector. Background Technology

[0002] Urinalysis is an important routine clinical examination, playing a significant role in understanding the patient's condition, assisting in diagnosis, and monitoring treatment efficacy. The accuracy of urinalysis reports is crucial for disease diagnosis and treatment. Therefore, during urinalysis, it is essential to ensure that the sample collection, preservation, and testing processes are standardized and accurate to provide reliable diagnostic evidence. Urine sample collection and transportation are critical steps in the entire testing process. Clinically, urine sample collection is usually performed by the patient or their family members. However, conventional urine sample containers are round, open, and handleless, making them difficult to hold. Typically, urine is collected in a small, unpackaged, open, bare plastic cup, then poured into a urine sample container, and finally the container cap is tightened before delivery for testing. The following drawbacks exist in this procedure:

[0003] 1. The disposable, unpackaged, open plastic cups distributed to patients by nurses in advance are easily contaminated when exposed to the air;

[0004] 2. Patients are very likely to touch the inner surface of the container when collecting urine, which can cause specimen contamination;

[0005] 3. Patients often forget to tighten the cap in time, resulting in poor sealing and urine being exposed to the air;

[0006] 4. It is common for urine samples to leak during transport from the ward to the laboratory if the cap of the urine sample container is not tightened. This can lead to contamination of other samples such as blood, stool, sputum, and body fluids.

[0007] Studies have shown that up to 72.22% of clinical specimens are undetectable due to various reasons. Urine specimen contamination is one of the major problems that urgently needs to be solved in clinical practice, and ensuring the standardization of urine specimen collection and transportation is of paramount importance.

[0032] To more clearly describe the technical content of this utility model, the following description is provided in conjunction with specific embodiments.

[0033] The present invention discloses a disposable urine collector, which includes a urine collector 1, a urine collector cap 2, and a funnel urine collector 3. The outer surface of the bottom of the urine collector cap 2 has threads, and the urine collector cap 2 is screwed onto the upper port of the urine collector 1 by the threads. The funnel urine collector 3 is embedded in the middle part of the urine collector cap 2.

[0034] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the upper part of the funnel urine collector 3 is a funnel, and the lower part is a short tube connected to the bottom of the funnel. The funnel urine collector 3 also includes a ventilation tube 5, which is attached to the inner wall of the funnel urine collector 3. One end of the ventilation tube 5 extends into the short tube, and the other end is attached to the inner wall of the funnel and flush with the top of the funnel.

[0035] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the bottom end of the funnel urine collector 3 is a pointed tube 4, which is inserted into the urine collector bottle cap 2.

[0036] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the diameter of the pointed insertion tube 4 is 5.2 mm.

[0037] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the urine collection bottle cap 2 is made of soft rubber. After the funnel urine collector 3 is removed, the soft rubber of the urine collection bottle cap 2 automatically returns to a closed state.

[0038] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the urine collector 1 is a transparent plastic tube with graduated lines on its surface.

[0039] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the funnel-shaped urine collector is wrapped in sterile packaging.

[0040] In a specific embodiment of this utility model, a disposable urine collector is designed, which can effectively improve the problem of urine collection for patients.

[0041] This design scheme includes:

[0042] Urine collector 1: Transparent plastic tube with graduations, made of anti-oxidation material.

[0043] Urine collector bottle cap 2: made of soft rubber, screwed tightly onto the opening of urine collector 1, with a funnel urine collector 3 embedded in the center of urine collector bottle cap 2.

[0044] The funnel-shaped urine collector 3, with an air vent, is embedded in the middle of the urine collector bottle cap 2. It can be removed automatically after being filled with urine. After the funnel-shaped urine collector 3 is removed, the urine collector bottle cap 2 quickly springs back and automatically seals itself.

[0045] Because the urine collector 1 needs to be labeled with a barcode containing information such as the patient's name and hospital number, the urine collector 1 needs to be exposed and does not require packaging. The funnel urine collector 3 is a sterile container, wrapped in a transparent plastic bag, which contains a pair of disposable transparent film gloves for the patient to use when collecting urine.

[0046] The disposable urine collector's collection unit 1 is a transparent, graduated plastic tube, allowing patients to easily observe the urine collection process. The collection unit cap 2 is made of soft rubber. After the pointed tube 4 at the lower end of the funnel-shaped urine collector 3 is inserted into the collection unit cap 2 and urine collection is complete, the soft rubber automatically returns to a sealed state after the funnel-shaped urine collector 3 is removed, preventing urine splashing. Through multiple experiments, a 5.2 mm diameter pointed tube 4 in the funnel-shaped urine collector 3 ensures both urine flow and a proper seal on the soft rubber of the collection unit cap 2. The funnel-shaped urine collector 3 has a separate vent pipe to ensure pressure balance inside and outside the collection unit 1 during urine collection. The urine collector is individually packaged to ensure a sterile environment.

[0047] This product has the following specific advantages:

[0048] 1) Easy to operate: The funnel urine collector 3 is designed to be integrated with the body to prevent side leakage or splashing during the urine collection process.

[0049] 2) More scientific: The funnel urine collector 3 is designed with an air vent to ensure that the internal and external air pressure is balanced during the urine collection process.

[0050] 3) More hygienic: Because the urine collection device 1 needs to be labeled with a barcode (patient's name, hospital number, etc.), it needs to be exposed and does not need to be packaged. The funnel urine collector 3 is a sterile container, wrapped in a transparent plastic bag, which contains a pair of disposable transparent film gloves for patients to use when collecting urine.
