The connection between the infusion set (serum set) and the catheter, the serum set It relates to a connector that allows it to be converted into a bladder irrigation kit. State of the Art 10 Today, urethral catheterization is used for emptying urine or performing various procedures on the bladder. It is a common medical procedure performed for the purpose of clinical application. Two main methods are used in these procedures: intermittent catheterization and permanent catheterization. (Foley) catheterization. These procedures are part of the surgical process, in critically ill patients with kidney disease. Function monitoring, acute or chronic urinary retention, neurological bladder dysfunctions, 15 hematuria, urodynamic studies, intravesical drug administration, and skin integrity It is indicated in numerous situations, such as protection. Another important use of catheters is bladder irrigation. Bladder irrigation, blood clots, mucus, debris, or infection that have accumulated in the bladder. It is the process of washing the bladder with sterile fluids to remove the causative agents. This 20 The procedure is particularly suitable for prostate surgeries, bladder tumor resections, or long-term treatments. To prevent blockages in the bladder after catheter insertion and to improve urine flow. It is applied to maintain the condition. Nowadays, bladder irrigation is usually done using a three-way method. (Trilumen) via a Foley catheter, isotonic solutions such as sterile saline. It is performed using. The procedure can be done manually with the help of a syringe. 25 It can also be applied automatically with continuous irrigation systems. This allows... This helps clean the bladder, reduces the risk of infection, and cleans the urinary tract. Its transparency is maintained. In the current state of the technique, bladder irrigation can be performed safely.

However, in practice, this kit is not always available or urgently needed. In these situations, it is not possible to reach them quickly. In these cases, healthcare personnel are not available. Intravenous (IV) fluid infusion sets can be used as irrigation sets with various modifications. They are trying to use it. Many problems are encountered during this modification process. The use of intravenous (IV) fluid infusion sets as a bladder irrigation set and 5 To illustrate its disadvantages with examples; bladder trauma in the emergency room, When a patient presents with a diagnosis of bladder-prostate cancer or hematuria and bladder lavage is performed... In a situation where a kit is not available, healthcare professionals can use an easily accessible device or It searches for a converter. This is a common practice when a washing set is not available. The serum set is connected to the washing solution set (serum sets are found in most basic healthcare facilities at 10 (It is a staple of medical supplies found everywhere). The needle is pulled out of the serum set. and are thrown into the sharps waste bin, which can cause many injuries. It comes. A portion of the dark yellow section in the serum set is cut off, and the empty space in the middle... It is made more prominent. The needle protective cap attached to the serum set is removed. A sharp object is used to sharpen the tip at an angle. The sharpened side is 15 The serum is inserted into the part of the serum set that we could describe as having a cut rubber texture. By pushing the three-way Foley catheter into the section designed for irrigation. It is attached. The washing solution is sent into the body via this artificial route. This is ensured. Meanwhile, the sharpening needle protective cover prevents injury and damage on the set. Undesirable consequences such as punctures are encountered. In such a case, a new set of 20 The system is opened, and the above processes are started again from the beginning to create a new set. Of course, it is also possible to encounter the same negative results on this set. Additionally, the section of the Foley catheter attached may become dislodged and wet the entire patient's body. Negative consequences include stressed personnel, an unsafe and injury-prone work environment, and most More importantly, the time lost in restoring the patient's health can also be added. 25 All the disadvantages mentioned above are overcome by the fact that the serum set is fast, sterile, easy, and ergonomic. a new connector that allows it to be converted into a bladder irrigation kit This necessitates the presentation of the apparatus. As a result of the research conducted on this matter, application number CN222566614U It has been encountered. The relevant document is a three-way urinary catheter for bladder irrigation 30 It is related to the connector. The current technology monitors urine flow rate and flow data in real time. It is intended for monitoring and is a connector that converts the serum set into a bladder irrigation set. The adapter is not included. 3 Another document encountered during the research is CN219681442U. The relevant document... The document relates to a three-lumen urinary catheter for bladder irrigation. (Current) eliminating the disadvantages of the technical bladder irrigation kit The aim is to provide a serum set in situations where a bladder irrigation set is not available. It does not include a structure that allows it to be converted into an irrigation set. 5 In conclusion, due to the negative aspects described above and the current solutions being the subject of discussion... Due to its shortcomings, an improvement is needed in the relevant technical field. It has been made.
