Abstract

Method and apparatus to prevent leakage of urine in probed patients, characterized by an absorbent surface (figure 2 and 3) that is placed around the tube and on the end of the penis (see figure 4). The method to which this invention relates is based on an absorbent surface in the shape of an inverted funnel cone (4b) (hereinafter "leakage cone"), which is located at the end of the penis (4a) and through which the probe (4c) is passed as shown in the overview in figure 4.

Description

Method and apparatus to prevent urine leakage in probed patients.

Object of the invention

The present invention aims at solve in a simple and economic way the problem posed by urine leaks in probed patients due to muscle spasms involuntary urinary bladder and / or any other reason liable to cause urine leakage.

Background of the invention

There are no known inventions that solve the mentioned problem following the method described here.

Description of the invention

The method referred to in this invention is based on an inverted cone-shaped absorbent surface by way of funnel (4b) (hereinafter "leak absorption cone"), which it is located at the end of the penis (4a) and through which it is made pass the probe (4c) as shown in the overall view in the figure 4.

This way you can absorb any leakage of urine that could slide outside the tube probe, preventing the patient from suffering the physical discomfort of wet the underwear, and remedying the psychological impact that causes the smell associated with such urine leaks in the patient, also helping to normalize the patient's social reaction.

The leak absorption cone is available so that its absorbent surface envelops the outside of the tube probe from the area where said tube arises from the penis (see Fig. 4). With this system, any leakage of urine that slipped on the outside of the probe, it is absorbed by the surface absorbent inside the cone.

To place the absorbent cone on the tube probe, said cone has two adhesive zones (see figure 2), a side (2b) to seal and close on itself and lower one (2c) to close and seal on the probe tube and prevent leakage of urine, in addition to setting the position of the absorption cone of leaks

The method referred to in the present invention It can be implemented in patients susceptible to leakage of urine, either by temporary or permanent probing.

Drawings

With the sole intention of explaining graphically the invention and by way of non-limiting example, these are proposed figures of an already constructed embodiment, which characterized by using the method described here to prevent leaks of urine in probed patients.

Figure 1 presents a normal situation of patient with probe (1b) placed in the penis (1a).

Figure 2 shows an absorption cone of leaks deployed with zone (2a), side adhesive zone for closing and sealing (2b), and lower adhesive zone for closing, sealing and fixing to the tube (2c).

Figure 3 shows the appearance of the cone of leak absorption once closed on itself, and identifies the lateral and lower areas arranged of adhesive material for closed, sealed and fixation (3a and 3b).

Figure 4 shows an overall view of the whole in which the final arrangement of the absorption cone is identified leakage (4b) in the penis (4a) and fixed on the surface of the tube probe (4c).

Claims (1)

1. Method and apparatus for preventing urine leaks in probed patients, characterized by an absorbent surface (figure 2 and 3) that is arranged around the probe tube and on the end of the penis (see figure 4).
