Abstract
A urine collection and drainage device and system adapted to facilitate drainage for patients to that prefer to stay standing during drainage and avoid removal of clothing near the collection bag. A collection vessel is designed to be secured to a user's waist and leg and allows for quick drainage with low initial compression. Drainage can also be accomplished for handicapped patients that have challenges getting out of bed or a wheelchair.
Claims22
A catheter device accessory assembly for urine collection of a patient comprising:
- a urine collection vessel having an upper portion and a lower portion,
- an inlet port disposed on said unitary urine collection vessel configured to be connected to a catheter device;
- an outlet port disposed on the upper portion of said unitary urine collection vessel and disposed separate and above said inlet port, said outlet port having an external side and an internal side;
- and
- a drainage tube assembly comprising an external tube portion and an internal tube portion, said external tube portion coupled to the external side of said outlet port and adapted to extend away from said unitary collection vessel for external drainage, said internal tube portion coupled to the internal side of said outlet port and adapted to extend internally from said outlet port within and into the lower portion of said collection vessel, a distal end of said internal tube portion in operative contact with a floor or bottom of the collection vessel, wherein the internal tube has at least one hole in a sidewall of the tube spaced from said distal end of said internal tube portion with the sidewall hole being located adjacent the bottom of the collection vessel, said external tube portion including a valve member for selectively draining said urine collection vessel, the valve member selected from the group consisting of a twist on/off valve, a push button valve, a ball valve, a unidirectional valve, and a duck bill valve;
- wherein said collection vessel is configured to be emptied through said drainage tube assembly upon initial compression of the lower portion of the collection vessel, thereby commencing a siphoning action.
A bodily fluid collection system for a patient comprising:
- a bodily fluid collection vessel having an upper portion and a bottom portion;
- an inlet port disposed on said fluid collection vessel;
- a drain valve coupled to the bottom portion of the fluid collection vessel and adapted for selectively draining contents of the collection vessel upon actuation of the drain valve;
- and
- a waistband attachment assembly adapted to support said fluid collection vessel on a user's body and proximate the user's leg.
A catheter device accessory assembly for urine collection of a patient comprising:
- a urine collection vessel having an upper portion and a bottom portion;
- an inlet port disposed on said urine collection vessel and configured to be coupled to a catheter device;
- a drain valve coupled to the bottom portion of the urine collection vessel and adapted for selectively draining contents of the collection vessel upon actuation of the drain valve;
- and
- a leg attachment assembly adapted to support said collection vessel about a user's leg.
