Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] Background Technical Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an improvement of a urine collection device mainly for use by sick people who have difficulty getting up.

Prior art and its problems Sick patients who have difficulty getting up cannot relieve themselves in the toilet, so they urinate in bed using a urine collection device. Urine collection devices mainly used for this purpose are:
They have a common feature in that they have a urine collection section for receiving urine without leaking, and a urine storage section for storing the urine collected in the urine collection section. The urine collection device called “shibin” is
It is a bottle type with a urine collection part and a urine storage part integrated into one. In addition, some devices have a structure in which a urine collection section and a urine storage section, which are independent from each other, are connected by a conduit.

In any case, the urine collection part of the urine collection device is made of a hard material such as glass or resin, and is pre-molded into a shape that fits the urinary part of the human body to prevent urine leakage.

However, the shape of the human body's urinary region varies considerably from person to person, so even if several pre-formed types are prepared, sufficient compatibility cannot be obtained, and the urine collection region often does not adhere sufficiently to the human body. .
As a result, urine often leaks, staining sheets, underwear, etc., and increasing the workload of caregivers. This problem is especially noticeable in urine collection devices for women, since urine leakage is affected only by the tightness of the urine collection portion.

Purpose of the invention The present invention was created in view of the above circumstances, and aims to provide a urine collection device whose urine collection part has a shape that matches the urination area of each individual, and which can be used in close contact to prevent urine leakage. be.

The above object is to provide a urine collection device which is equipped with a urine collection part that is in close contact with the urinary part of the human body and receives urine, and which stores the urine received in the urine collection part in a urine storage part. This is achieved by constructing the parts in direct contact with a material that can be freely plastically deformed and hardened by a certain treatment.

Detailed Description of the Invention FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing an embodiment in which the invention is applied to a ``shibin''. In the figure, 1 is a urine storage section that stores urine. A handle 2 is provided on the urine storage section. Further, a cylindrical urine collection section 3 extends from the urine storage section 1. This "bottle" is made of ceramic, glass, or hard resin, except for the tip part of the urine collection part 3, that is, the part 4 that directly contacts the user's urination part. On the other hand, the tip portion 4 of the urine collection section 3
(dotted area in the figure) freely deforms plastically, and
It is made of a material that hardens through certain treatments. As such a material, a paste-like material that hardens when left in the air, such as an alginate-based impression material or other dental impression material, can be used. In this case, it is necessary to keep the product sealed before it is distributed as a product.
Further, a paste-like resin mixed with a crosslinking agent having a high reaction temperature and hardened by heating may be used, or a plastic material that hardens by reacting with water may be used. An example of the alginate-based impression material is the product name "Panacol" sold by Nippon Denki Kogyo Co., Ltd.

When using the urine collecting section according to the above embodiment, first, the distal end of the urine collecting section 3 has deformable plasticity and is pressed against the user's urinating region. A mold is taken by deforming it into a shape that fits the body shape. After the distal end portion 4 is thus deformed, it is left in the atmosphere or subjected to a certain treatment such as heating to harden it, thereby fixing the shape that suits the user's urination site. In this way, the distal end of the urine collection section 3 can be fixed in the shape most suitable for each user, so that urine leakage during urine collection can be significantly prevented in subsequent use.

FIG. 2 is a perspective view showing another embodiment in which the present invention is applied to a urine collection device in which a urine collection section and a urine storage section are separated. In the figure, 11 is a urine collection section. The urine collection section has a bowl shape with a nozzle 12 formed at the bottom, and is provided with a handle 13. As shown in the dotted area, the urine collection section 11 is made of a material that has deformable plasticity and hardens by being subjected to a certain treatment, similar to the embodiment shown in FIG. Also,
The urine collection section 11 is connected to a urine storage section 15 via a flexible conduit 14 connected to a nozzle 13. As the conduit 14, a rubber tube, a vinyl tube, etc. can be used. Further, as the urine storage section 15, a bag made of synthetic resin film, a glass bottle, etc. can be used.

Regarding the urine collection device of this embodiment, the user grasps the handle 13 and presses the urine collection part 11 against the user's urination area,
If a predetermined treatment is performed after making a mold, it can be hardened into a shape that fits the user's urinary area. Therefore, urine leakage can be significantly prevented during subsequent use. In this embodiment, if the urine collecting section 11 is always attached to the user's crotch using a belt or the like, even a person who cannot control urination at all can apply the method.

Specific Effects of the Invention As explained above, according to the present invention, the urine collection part is shaped to match the user's urination area and can be used in a sufficiently close contact state, thereby preventing urine leakage. Therefore, significant effects can be obtained, such as reducing the burden of secondary work such as changing sheets and changing underwear due to urine leakage.
