Subcutaneous absorbent core for absorbing post-micturition urine residue in men

Abstract

Absorbent body for the absorption of post-micturition residual fluids under the foreskin in men. Absorbent suction body for the absorption of post-micturition residual urine in men, comprising: a) a cylindrical or conical core made of superabsorbent, compressible material, 1.0 to 4.0 cm long and 0.5 to 2.0 cm in diameter, which can be positioned subforeskin in front of the glans; b) an integrated extraction thread made of flexible, skin-compatible material, attached to the proximal end of the core and having a length of 3 to 20 cm; c) an outer cover made of breathable, porous non-woven fabric, which allows fluid absorption and prevents skin irritation; wherein the suction body is designed to bind 1 to 15 ml of fluid and can be removed after use by pulling on the thread without the need for tools.

Description

[0001] Absorbent core for the collection of post-micturition urine residue in men, comprising: a) a cylindrical or conical core made of highly absorbent, compressible material with a length of 1.0 to 4.0 cm and a diameter of 0.5 to 2.0 cm, which can be positioned subforeskin in front of the glans; b) an integrated extraction thread made of flexible, skin-compatible material, attached to the proximal end of the core and having a length of 2 to 6 cm; c) an outer cover made of breathable, porous non-woven fabric; plastic packaging cover as with tampons; rubber / silicone cover. the absorbent body is designed to bind 1 to 15 ml of liquid and can be removed after use by pulling on the thread. Supplement: Explanations and descriptions

[0002] State of the art: Known aids for managing mild incontinence in men include external absorbent pads, mechanical clamps, or drainage systems. These are often visible or uncomfortable.

[0003] Tampon-like products for women (3-4 cm long) exist, but are not adapted for the male anatomy. Patents such as DE102013223387A1 (from 2013-2015) describe external devices without subcutaneous integration. (Status: Discontinued)

[0004] Essential features of the invention: The invention, called DROPSTOP, is an absorbent pad for post-micturition urine residue in men. The core (cylindrical, 1-4 cm long, 0.5-2 cm in diameter, dimensions flexible) made of superabsorbent material (cellulose with polymers, or other suitable material) is placed under the foreskin. A removal thread (2-6 cm) allows for removal. Optional: A fixation sleeve (condom-like, 2-6 cm long, made of silicone / latex) for retention.

[0005] Advantages: Discretion, comfort, daily use (approx. 3-6 times / day), hygienic, low-odor disposal. Examples of implementation: 1 Standard: 2 cm core with thread. 2 Premium: With 4-5 cm sleeve for fixing. 3 (+Eco: Biodegradable) QUOTES INCLUDED IN THE DESCRIPTION
