Abstract
The urisheath provided here includes an element of thin material (a strip) that allows at least two lengths of it to run in a parallel fashion down either side of the sheath. The is obtained by injection molding the strip in liquid silicone in the silicone injection molding process for the urisheath, either by one, two or more component injection molding. The injection molding takes place in an injection molding form for a urisheath with a cavity for the body portion and a cavity for the strip portion wherein the cavity for the body portion is connected to the cavity for the strip portion creating an attachment zone between the strip and the sheath.
Claims28
A urisheath comprising:
- a body portion defining a through lumen, said body portion comprising a root part provided at an inlet end, a centered part, and a tip part;
- a connection part provided at an outlet end of the tip part, adapted for attachment to a drain tube;
- and
- a strip portion, said strip portion comprising at least two elongated individual strips, including at least one first elongated individual strip connected at a proximal end thereof to one of said root part and said centered part, and a second elongated individual strip connected at a proximal end thereof to one of said root part and said centered part, wherein a distal end of said at least one first elongated individual strip includes an aperture defined therein, and a distal end of said at least one second elongated individual strip includes a tab portion adapted to be inserted into said aperture, thereby at least temporarily locking said at least one first elongated individual strip and said at least one second elongated individual strip together to define at least one handle.
A urisheath comprising a body portion, said body portion comprising a root part, a centered part, and a tip part, and a strip portion, said strip portion comprising at least two elongated individual strips, including at least one first elongated individual strip connected at a proximal end thereof to one of said root part and said centered part, and at least one second elongated individual strip connected at a proximal end thereof to one of said root part and said centered part, wherein a distal end of said at least one first elongated individual strip is adapted to at least temporarily attach to a distal end of said at least one second elongated individual strip to define at least one handle.
A rolled urisheath comprising a body portion, said body portion defining a through lumen configured to receive a liquid and comprising a root part, a centered part and a tip part, wherein said tip part comprises a connection part configured to attach to a drain tube to drain the liquid away from the urisheath, and a strip portion attached to said body portion in an attachment zone, said strip portion comprising at least two elongated individual strips, including at least one first elongated individual strip connected at a proximal end thereof to one of said root part and said centered part, and at least one second elongated individual strip connected at a proximal end thereof to one of said root part and said centered part, wherein a distal end of said at least one first elongated individual strip includes a tab portion adapted to at least temporarily attach to an aperture defined in a distal end of said at least one second elongated individual strip, to define at least one handle.
A rolled urisheath comprising a body portion, said body portion comprising a root part, a centered part, and a tip part adapted to attach to a drain tube, and a strip portion, wherein the strip portion is attached to said body portion in an attachment zone, wherein the attachment zone comprises at least one weakened zone having a lower tear strength than said strip portion and said body portion respectively, and wherein said strip portion comprises at least two elongated individual strips, including at least one first elongated individual strip connected at a proximal end thereof to one of said root part and said centered part, and at least one second elongated individual strip connected at a proximal end thereof to one of said root part and said centered part, wherein a distal end of said at least one first elongated individual strip includes at least one tab portion insertable at least temporarily into an aperture defined in a distal end of said at least one second elongated individual strip to define at least one handle.
A rolled urisheath comprising a body portion, said body portion comprising a root part, a centered part, and a tip part adapted to attach to a drain tube, and a strip portion, wherein the strip portion is attached to the body portion in an attachment zone, wherein said attachment zone comprises a weakened zone formed of the same material as said strip portion and said body portion, and has a smaller thickness than said body portion, and wherein the strip portion comprises at least two elongated individual strips, including at least one first elongated individual strip connected at a proximal end thereof to at least one of said root part and said centered part, and at least one second elongated individual strip connected at a proximal end thereof to one of said root part and said centered part, wherein a distal end of said at least one first elongated individual strip is adapted to at least temporarily attach to a distal end of said at least one second elongated individual strip to define at least one handle by a temporary connection of at least one tab defined on at least one of said elongated individual strips with at least one aperture defined on at least one other of said elongated individual strips.
A rolled urisheath comprising a body portion, said body portion comprising a root part, a centered part, and a tip part adapted to attach to a drain tube, and a strip portion, wherein the strip portion comprises at least two elongated individual strips, including at least one first elongated individual strip connected at a proximal end thereof to one of said root part and said centered part, and at least one second elongated individual strip connected at a proximal end thereof to one of said root part and said centered part, wherein a distal end of said at least one first elongated individual strip includes at least one tab insertable into at least one aperture defined in a distal end of said at least one second elongated individual strip to define at least one handle.
A urisheath comprising a body portion, said body portion defining a through lumen, comprising a root part, a centered part, and a tip part, said tip part including a connection part adapted to attach to a drain tube to drain liquid away from the urisheath, the connection part having a radial dimension larger than a radial dimension of said tip part, and a strip portion attached to said body portion in an attachment zone, the attachment zone including a weakened zone with a lower tear strength than said strip portion and said body portion respectively, and wherein said strip portion comprises at least two elongated individual strips, including at least one first elongated individual strip connected at a proximal end thereof to one of said root part and said centered part, and at least one second elongated individual strip connected at a proximal end thereof to one of said root part and said centered part, wherein a distal end of said at least one first elongated individual strip includes at least one tab insertable into at least one aperture defined in a distal end of said at least one second elongated individual strip to define at least one handle.
