Support Body for Adhesive Fluid Collection Sheet Handling
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional body fluid collection systems require careful handling by medical staff to prevent contamination and drying of the collection sheet, making it difficult for non-physicians to support the collection sheet after fluid collection.
Innovation Solution
A support body comprising a first sheet with an adhesive surface for attaching to the collection sheet and a second sheet for overlaying to securely hold the collection sheet, allowing non-physicians to easily support the collection sheet without direct contact, using a peeling member to expose the collection body for measurement.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If the body fluid collection sheet is directly handled by medical staff to prevent contamination and drying, then the reliability of the collected body fluid is improved, but the ease of operation deteriorates because only trained medical personnel can perform the task
Solution Approach 1:
A support body is introduced as an intermediary device between the body fluid collection sheet and the user's hands. The support body includes a first sheet with adhesive surface that bonds to the collection sheet, and a second sheet that overlays to provide protection. This mediator allows non-medical personnel to handle the collection sheet without direct contact, maintaining reliability while improving ease of operation.
Solution Approach 2:
The support body is prepared in advance with the first sheet's adhesive surface positioned to attach to the collection sheet, and the second sheet positioned to overlay and protect. This preliminary arrangement ensures that when the collection sheet needs to be handled, the protective structure is already in place, preventing contamination and drying before the handling action occurs.
2Productivity
If the body fluid collection sheet is removed directly from the skin, then the collection process is simplified, but the ease of operation deteriorates because careful and delicate work is required to avoid contamination
Solution Approach 1:
The support body combines the first sheet with adhesive surface and the second sheet into a single integrated structure that attaches to the body fluid collection sheet as one unit. This merged structure allows the collection sheet to be removed from the skin and handled as a unified assembly, increasing productivity while maintaining ease of operation through the protective second sheet.
3Adaptability or versatility
If the collection sheet is transported after removal, then measurement can be performed at separated location and time, but the ease of operation deteriorates because means for supporting the sheet while preventing contamination and drying is required
Solution Approach 1:
The support body serves multiple functions: it provides adhesive attachment for removal, protective overlay for contamination prevention, and structural support for transport. This multi-functional design enables the collection sheet to be transported and measured at different locations and times without requiring additional specialized support means, improving adaptability while maintaining ease of operation.

AI summary
Disclosed are a support body, a body fluid collection set, and a body fluid collection method that can easily support a body fluid collection sheet even by a non-physician. The support body 1 includes a first sheet 10 having an adhesive surface 12 for adhering the body fluid collection sheet 30, and a second sheet 20 adhered to the first sheet 10. The adhesive surface 12 of the first sheet 10 is adhered to the body fluid collection sheet 30 so that the first sheet 10 is separated from the skin 40 and the body fluid collection sheet 30 is peeled off from the skin 40. Thereafter, the second sheet 20 is superposed on the adhesive surface 12, and the body fluid collection sheet 30 is supported on the support body 1.
