FR2790663A1 - Urine collector for incontinent user elastic underwear with anal opening and tube for collection of urine - Google Patents

Abstract

The urine collector for an incontinent user has elastic underwear (1) with a rear anal opening (2) and a rubber tube for evacuation of urine leading to a collector bag fitted on the leg. The underwear can have a cover for the penis (5) with holders to retain the penis in place.

Description

The present invention is intended for people with a problem

  severe urine, whether this problem is due to a serious illness or incontinence.

  This device transports urine to a pocket (3) via a hose (Figure 2).

  It is fixed by various principles, depending on its use, on a slip sheath in front

  must have the rear part "ANAL PART" not closed (2) (figure 1).

  The device can be adapted for men (7) (Figure 1) or for women (6) (Figure 1).

  It is in hypoallergenic plastic, used in paramedics. Rigid, semi-rigid plastic or

  flexible according to the types of manufacturing linked to medical problems of epidermal contact.

  It would be or could also be of different size depending on the morphology

  of each patient, although a foam system could possibly calibrate the device.

  It is impossible to specify the type of plastic, the evolution of formulas in this area is very fast. It must especially correspond to a plastic specific to the paramedical standards of contact. The manufacturing and the technique can be as well in injected, in

  molded, roto-molded, or blown and with a different composite base depending on the option chosen.

  As far as the man is concerned, a penis receiving slab (5) (FIG. 1) makes it possible to keep him in a comfortable position possibly on a medical gauze. A system of fasteners

  (7) (Figure 1) is provided to hold the penis in place. It can be made up of

  "VELCRO" type grippers or any other product; the adjustment being effected by the opening

top of the appliance (8) (Figure 1).

  It can also lead to a flexible or new plastic composite allowing, to

  lower cost, to obtain a disposable product (Figure 2).

  Anyway, whatever the option, it must be very economical and easy to install

  easy. It does not necessarily need the help of a doctor.

  The device also has as its primary goal to avoid serious urinary tract infections of the holders of bladder catheter indwelling. It is important that the type of slip sheath is sufficiently elastic, of the type of compression fabrics and very strong hold. It is possible to strengthen the maintenance of the device by straps (13) (Figure 5). It cannot be excluded that the plastic device and the slip sheath form only a sheath-slip and urine collection unit in order to divert it towards the leg pocket (3) and thus become a product.

disposable (Figure 2).

  However, if the device is fixed on an elastic slip sheath, it can be fixed in different ways: simple snaps, hook-and-loop fasteners of the "VTELCRO" type, cords

  predisposed and precut on the slip sheath and the device (11 and 12) (Figure 3).

  I note that a Soleau envelope was deposited at the I.N.P.I. by me on 10.01.1997 under the number 75672. The purpose of this envelope was to determine, if necessary, the priority of my

research and invention.

  Figures 4 and 5 are part of my first research deposited in a Soleau envelope.

  Plate 4/4 represents two photographs of the first prototype made for the study of

  feasibility before depositing my Soleau envelope.

  Since that date, my anatomical research has resulted in the shapes and cut being

lightened (figure 1, plate 1/4).

  After personal and discreet research in the medical and hospital sector,

  no equipment of this type exists to date.

Claims (7)

  1) Device intended to fit people who have incontinence problems, characterized in that it is placed on an elastic slip sheath (1) (figure 1) provided with an anal rear opening (2) (figure 1) , the urine being evacuated by a rubber hose to a leg pocket (3) (Figure 2).   2) Device according to claim 1 characterized in that it comprises a penis receiving slab (5) (Figure 1) associated with a system of fasteners (7) (Figure 1) to maintain the   penis in place, and a top opening (8) (Figure 1) of the device.   3) Device according to claim 1 characterized in that it comprises a support (6) (figure   1) for the vulva of a user.   4) Device according to one of claims 1 to 3 characterized in that it forms only one   alone and together with the slip sheath (Figures 1 to 4).   5) Device according to one of claims 1 to 3 characterized in that it is affixed to the sheath   underpants using means such as snaps, cords or car ties   gripping to become a disposable product.   6) Device according to one of claims 1 to 5 characterized in that it comprises   straps (13) (Figure 5) to strengthen its Mamintian.
