Description

Catheter device

The present invention relates to a urinary catheter device that includes a catheter and its medical use.

Some patients require the use of a urinary catheter to effectively and hygienically empty their bladder (eg, urinary incontinence or other disease leading to patients requiring catheterization).

The urinary catheter is inserted into the bladder through the urethra to open the urethral sphincter and drain the urine into a suitable container. A typical urinary system patient may need to empty his bladder every two to four hours. In developing countries, catheters are disposable (ie not reusable) because of the need for multiple catheters per day.

When a patient uses a urinary catheter, there is a problem that the occlusion is not sufficient or because of other bulky related devices, which causes inconvenience in use. For example, catheters currently in use are usually packaged in an elongated form that is in the form of a package that can cause storage and carrying problems. This form of packaging can cause the patient to be easily found by others when stored, and is bulky and difficult to carry or not easily hidden in the clothes. When used, it is difficult to be covered by clothing, so it is easy to be found by others in the use of a catheter.

In a similar situation, in a social setting, the patient may substantially increase the social embarrassment by carrying a bulky catheter, using any associated medical device, or the fact that the patient needs to use a catheter. In recent years, smaller and more compact volume catheters have been developed, such as Coloplast company's SpeediCath Compact ^TM, which has been listed series of women in the United States, in addition, male and female series Jie available in Europe.

A lubricated catheter is usually designed to make it easier for the patient to insert the catheter into the urethra. However, in this design, the catheter is too smooth and often makes it difficult for the patient to operate the catheter. For example, many catheters used today, where there is a need to use water to activate the surface coating of the catheter or design to use a gel-lubricated catheter when opening the package, no matter which design of the catheter, Both are to make the catheter easier to insert into the urethra. However, these devices that help to lubricate may cause inconvenience in use, as the patient may be limited by the packaging with the liquid or need to carry additional lubricant.

When using a urinary catheter, the patient may be exposed to a certain degree of contamination due to incomplete hand cleaning or other parts of the body touching the catheter. Therefore, this type of use may result in more than one negative impact. First, the urinary system may be infected by the use of unhygienic catheters, and on the other hand, it may cause inappropriate medical conditions. For example, when the urinary catheter is touched directly by hand, the user must confirm the cleansing of the hand and urethral opening to ensure that the catheter is not contaminated and reduces the likelihood of urinary tract infection. The second negative effect is that because every time you have to use a hygienic catheter, the catheter is designed for one-time use, must be discarded after use, and use a new guide the next time you need catheterization. The urinary catheter, therefore, for the patient, it is necessary to carry such a slender urinary catheter that is bulky, difficult to hide, and easily found when discarded, resulting in a decrease in the patient's willingness to use, resulting in subsequent social medical treatment. The improvement of this.

In some cases, the patient is extremely reluctant to do the action of unpacking the catheter to remove the catheter. For example, the common catheters today are easy to find and inconvenient to operate. For some patients with normal consciousness, it may be inclined to reduce the number of catheters used to avoid embarrassment in some social situations, but this result Accompanying it will be an increase in subsequent bladder problems, kidney problems, or other additional medical behavior.

The present invention provides a compact packaging system for a catheter, including the techniques of the device and related components.

In an embodiment of the present invention, the present invention includes a device and related components, such as a catheter in the form of a coil, a spiral or the like, which is tightly stored, and which can be pulled out in a hygienic manner and placed in a male or In the female urethra, therefore, the tightly stored shape, hygienic and secretive urine can be used to evacuate the bladder. For example, this packaged catheter has a tight system that is small enough to be held in the palm of your hand for easy concealment.

In an embodiment of the present invention, the present invention includes a device and related components, for example, the urinary catheter can be wrapped with a closed sanitary sheath, for example, the sanitary sheath may cover at least one of the tips of the urinary catheter Partly, therefore, the patient can be removed from the package without the risk of subsequent infection by operating the catheter unsanitary (so that the patient does not need to directly touch the catheter) And, when the tip of the catheter needs to be exposed for insertion into the urethra, the patient can move the closed sanitary sheath along the catheter, thus being relatively easy for the user Operate the pre-lubricated catheter.

In an embodiment of the present invention, the present invention includes a device and related components, for example, the catheter can be suitably placed in a flexible tube or associated container so that the catheter can be hygienic The method is preserved in a tight storage space and the urine of the bladder is evacuated using this tightly stored shape, hygienic and occult. As a first example, the device and related components can include the sanitary sheath described above, which is the front end portion of the entire package and can be detached from the catheter and can be moved relative to the distal end of the catheter, thus, the patient The operation can be performed without directly touching the catheter.

In an embodiment of the present invention, the present invention includes a device and related components, for example, the catheter can be placed in a flexible tube or associated container, and the pre-lubricated catheter is relative to The above bendable tube has a movable effect. As a first example, the device and related components can include a hydrophilic lubricant that can be stored in the package of the catheter and can be activated for use prior to opening the package or while the package is being opened.

In an embodiment of the present invention, the present invention includes devices and related components, and the operation of such devices and related components provides a relatively simple and easy way to retract the catheter into the package. For example, the device and related components can include inverted features that are reinstated by the patient by retracting the catheter into the package and reassembling the catheter into the form of the original coil. This is an important effect that allows the catheter to be relatively easily repackaged after use to facilitate disposal and greatly reduce contamination from used catheters.

In an embodiment of the present invention, the present invention includes the catheter It is maintained in the assembly in a coil, spiral or similar shape and is capable of allowing the catheter to be hygienically and detachably extracted from the device. For example, the present invention can include the catheter being repositioned in its assembly in a coil, spiral or similar shape. In an alternative embodiment, the present invention can include disposing the urinary catheter in the shape of a coil in the device to maintain the shape of the coil, for example, as a container that includes a relatively stiff spiral The inner wall allows the catheter to be in close contact therewith.

In an embodiment of the present invention, the present invention comprises a relatively compact system comprising a grip to open the package, the package further comprising a catheter, a hygienic wet tissue or a combination of the two, in order to have the potential to reduce urinary tract infections Sexual effect. For example, a sanitary wet paper bag can be incorporated into the package or otherwise attached, (1) attached to the back of the tight catheter device, (2) defined to be attached to or near the center of the catheter device. Or (3) attached to other locations, convenient for patients with catheterization.

In an embodiment of the present invention, the present invention includes a relatively compact system including a package and a catheter and a relatively easy to use configuration, which in turn includes a lubricant that can be attached or incorporated into the package to reduce lubrication And the difficulty of placing a catheter. As in the first example, a relatively small water container can be provided such that when pressure is applied, the water can be a hydrophilic substance that is provided for use as a lubricant. Additionally, as in the second example, the catheter can also be pre-lubricated by a hydrophilic or other type of lubricant.

Sealed packaging

Figures 1A to 1C show the ability to accommodate a tight catheter Conceptual view of the sealed package. Fig. 1A shows a conceptual diagram of a closed package, Fig. 1B shows a conceptual diagram of an open package with a sanitary sheath, and Fig. 1C shows a conceptual diagram of an open package with a squeeze assembly.

Open the package

As shown in FIG. 1A, the package 100 includes a sealed housing 101 that may have a frangible, detachable or tearable feature that allows the user to more easily open the package at a set location. 100.

In an embodiment of the present invention, the housing 101 may be constructed of metal foil, cellophane, plastic, or some other material, such as a substance that is relatively opaque (so that a patient with a urinary system can use a catheter more often) (hidden), the material's resistance to breakage or tearing is at least moderate (keeping the contents of the package 100 sterile), and the material is relatively easy to sterilize (so that the package 100 can be made sterile at the time of manufacture) .

In an embodiment of the present invention, a patch 102 in the corner is more susceptible to being broken or torn relative to the remainder of the housing 101, and allows the manufacturer to more easily guide the healthcare professional to open the housing in an optimal position. Body 101. In an alternate embodiment, the patch 102 is selective. For example, the corner patch 102 may be made of paper, and the paper may be adhered to the casing 101.

The housing 101, which is primarily described herein, is made of a relatively resilient material, and in the context of the present invention, there are no special requirements to limit its manufacture. For example, the housing 101 can be made of a rigid material, such as the same rigid plastic, and the patch 102 can be placed at a particular location for removal of the catheter from the package 100.

In these embodiments, the housing 101 may include a helical wall made of a hard material, such as a rigid plastic, wherein the catheter may be held in the housing 101 in a coil or spiral form, such as through The catheter is arranged in a helical inner guiding path which may consist of a helical inner wall. In these embodiments, the catheter can still be withdrawn from the package 100 and can be withdrawn from the package 100 by providing a helical inner wall along the catheter.

The package 100 and housing 101, which are primarily described herein, are configured to allow a patient in need of catheterization to be opened and the catheter to be withdrawn from the package 100 without any particular limitation in the context of the present invention. For example, the package 100 and the housing 101 can be configured in such a manner that when the package 100 is opened, a portion of the catheter can be caused or urged to be automatically pushed out, as if by compression or spring loading of the catheter, or Promote the automatic introduction of a part of the catheter.

Sanitary sheath

As shown in FIG. 1B, in one embodiment, the package 100 includes a tight urinary catheter device (not shown), optionally including a sanitary sheath 103, which will subsequently tend to cover the catheter tip 105. (Not shown in this figure), and this catheter can be adapted for insertion into the urethra of a male or female. In an embodiment of the present invention, the sanitary sheath 103 may comprise a first portion that is positioned at the end of the catheter and that may be removed and, in addition, may include a second portion (not shown in this figure), It can slide along the catheter, so patients who need catheterization can manipulate the catheter without touching the catheter.

As described herein, the catheter can be fabricated in one or more sizes, depending on the relative length or width. For example, the catheter may be for males Sexual or feminine use, made in relatively long or short styles or designs, or may be used separately for children or adults, to be made into a relatively narrow or wide style or design.

In an embodiment of the present invention, the sanitary sheath 103 may be fabricated from a relatively resilient material, such as silicone, polyvinyl chloride or other plastic materials. However, in the context of the present invention, there are no special requirements to limit it. For example, the sanitary sheath 103 may be fabricated using a rubber or non-rubber equivalent.

As shown in Fig. 1B, the sanitary sheath 103 may be configured to prevent the catheter 104 itself from being exposed, which may allow the catheter 104 to be sterile as it is pulled from the package 100. Effect. As shown in Figure 1C, the sanitary sheath 103 may be positioned such that the catheter end 105 contained by the catheter 104 can be squeezed out of the sanitary sheath 103 (the sanitary sheath 103 is positioned along the catheter) The tube 104 slides), the catheter tip 105 can be inserted into the urethra, and at the same time, only the sanitary sheath 103 is operated by the patient (or a selective person, possibly a medical professional), which effect can maintain the catheter end 105 of the catheter substantially Sterile until it is actually inserted into the urethra.

In an embodiment of the invention, the catheter 104 may be fabricated from a relatively resilient material, such as silicone, polyvinyl chloride or other plastic materials. However, in the context of the present invention, there are no special requirements to limit it. For example, the catheter 104 can be fabricated from a rubber or non-rubber equivalent.

As described below, in one embodiment, the catheter 104 can be substantially spirally sealed in the package 100 and, therefore, has a relatively extended catheterization. Tube 104 is sealed in a relatively small package 100. For example, as further details are described below, the catheter 104 can be sealed in the package 100 in a helical form and substantially capable of being stretched into a non-helical form and can be reintroduced into the package 100 again and re-spiralized The form exists.

In an embodiment of the present invention, when the catheter 104 is stored in the package 100, it can be sealed in a pre-lubricated form, such as by sealing the lubricant in the package 100 and the catheter 104 has been infiltrated. Among them, or by other means of sealing, the catheter 104 has a lubricating effect, such as providing a hydrophilic substance, water can be used to lubricate the catheter. As described below, when the catheter 104 is removed from the package 100, it remains in a pre-lubricated form and allows the patient to use no additional effort in the use of the sanitary sheath, such as (1) To do the action of lubricating the catheter, or (2) using a catheter that is very smooth.

In an embodiment of the present invention, the catheter 104 in the package 100 can be maintained in a non-pre-lubricated state, and the catheter can be lubricated by the patient prior to opening or while the package 100 is being opened. For example, the urinary catheter 104 can be maintained covered with a hydrophilic lubricant and attached to an aqueous bladder. The patient will be able to press or squeeze the pouch to deliver water to the hydrophilic lubricant, have a lubricated catheter 104, or can make the package 100 so that after the package is opened, the water can be transferred to the hydrophilic lubricant or utilized Another source of water, or package 100, may include a hydrophilic lubricant and a water source component, or include another lubricant.

In an embodiment of the present invention, the catheter 104 may be sealed in the package 100 in a pre-lubricated form, and the package 100 (or housing 101) may include one or more drainage elements, such as gauze or holes, with which the element is utilized. So that the patient can remove any The excess lubricating fluid of the package 100 (or housing 101) may remove any excess water that is far beyond the amount needed to activate the hydrophilic lubricating fluid. Thus, the patient can be assured that once the catheter 104 is removed from the package 100, there will be no leakage of additional lubricant or excess water to an unintended location (whether or not the catheter is inserted into the urethra).

The catheter 104 also includes a proximal end 106 of the catheter (not shown in this figure). As in the depicted embodiment, the proximal end 106 of the catheter can be used by a patient in need of catheterization to evacuate urine and drain the urine into a suitable container, such as a common toilet, and does not require the catheter 104 to be removed from the catheter. Remove the urine receiver, such as a urine receiving bag or other medical equipment.

In an embodiment of the present invention, the package 100 can optionally include one or more sanitary tissues 107 (not shown in this figure) or other similar suitable materials that can allow medical personnel to accidentally The catheter 104, catheter tip 105 or catheter proximal end 106 is maintained in a substantially sterile state. On the other hand, the tissue paper towel can also be used to sterilize the patient's hands prior to use of the catheter.

As noted above, for example, the tissue 107 can be bonded to the package 100, or otherwise attached to the package 100, (1) on the back of the compact catheter device, (2) defined in the compact catheter In the central cavity of the device or near the central cavity, (3) directly attached to the flexible catheter in the form of a coil, as described below, or at other locations in the (4) position, may make the catheterization patient more convenient to use.

As shown in FIG. 1C, in an alternative embodiment, a helical internal structure 110 (shown in phantom), such as a vertical wall, can direct the catheter 104 to be helically shaped, with the effect that one can be A portion of the urinary catheter 104 is held in the housing 101 in a spiral form while the remaining urinary catheter is also held in In the housing 101.

Elastic housing

2A to 2B are conceptual views showing that a catheter is sealed in a resilient assembly.

Fig. 2A shows that a catheter is sealed in a catheter in the form of a non-coil, and Figure 2B shows that a catheter is sealed in a helically shaped flexible catheter.

As shown in Figures 2A and 2B, an elastic catheter 201 encircles the catheter 104, and the catheter 104 is made to have resistance to rupture or other damage, and the urinary catheter 104 can be bent or flexed. It affects the bending or bending of the elastic conduit 201.

In the presently preferred embodiment, the flexible conduit 201 may be fabricated from a relatively resilient material, such as a silicone resin, polyvinyl chloride or other plastic material. However, in the context of the present invention, there are no special requirements to limit it. For example, the flexible conduit 201 can be fabricated using a rubber or non-rubber equivalent.

In the presently preferred embodiment, the flexible conduit 201 includes a top end pipe end 202 and defines a top end pipe bore 203. In one example, the catheter tip 105 can be pushed through the tip tube hole 203, thus having the effect that the catheter tip 105 can be directly inserted into the urethra.

As described above, in an embodiment of the present invention, the sanitary sheath 103 can include a first portion (shown as a detachable tip) that can be removed at the catheter tip 105 and a sanitary sheath 103 that can include a second A portion (as shown by the slidable portion) that can slide along the catheter. In this embodiment, the sanitary sheath 103 can be configured to be separated from the top end of the tube 202.

In an embodiment of the present invention, the flexible catheter 201 includes a proximal tube tip 204 and defines a proximal tube bore 205 that is wider relative to the body portion of the flexible conduit 201 to allow the proximal tube bore 205 to be opposite It is suitable for connecting a container (not shown in the figure) for the purpose of emptying the urine.

Similar to the tip end of the tip 202, in an embodiment of the present invention, the proximal tube tip 204 can include a secondary sheath (not shown in this figure) that can be removed from the proximal tube tip 204, And allowing the outlet of the liquid (eg, urine) to utilize the proximal tube bore 205. Thus, having the top tube end 202 and the proximal tube tip 204 cover has the interior of the flexible conduit 201 sealed to prevent air or any contact with contaminants that may occur at any time.

In an embodiment of the present invention, as described herein, urine exiting the urethra, through the catheter tip 105 and the tip tube hole 203, through the body of the catheter 104, up to the proximal end 106 of the catheter and the proximal tube hole 205, finally discharged into one or more containers. In a related first example, the container can include a urine bag or other sanitary storage element. In a related second example, the container may include a toilet or other suitable sanitary element to exclude urine.

As shown in Fig. 2B, the elastic conduit 201 can be configured in a coil or spiral shape, and therefore occupies only a relatively small space. For example, the flexible catheter 201 is in the form of a coil or a spiral which can be densely packed into the package 100 and looks very similar in appearance to a package containing a condom. Therefore, the presence of such a catheter 104 allows Patients are relatively more convenient and occult when using catheters.

The sanitary sheath 103 can be configured with two parts: the first part covers the catheter end 105 and can be discarded, in addition, the second part can be guided along the catheter The tube 104 slides, such as when the catheter is lubricated, and the portion of the catheter can be operated to control the catheter 104 without direct contact with the catheter.

In an embodiment of the present invention, the flexible catheter 201 can be covered by one or more sanitary tissues 107, thereby making it relatively convenient for the patient to provide the tissue 107 to the patient when using the catheter 104.

In an embodiment of the present invention, the flexible catheter 201 can have a water bladder pouch 109 or a bladder attached thereto and containing lubricating fluid, and the pouch can be configured to allow the patient to press or squeeze the water bladder pouch 109. The water will be pressed or squeezed out of the water bag 109 and into the flexible catheter 201 and distributed to the surface of the catheter 104. However, the position where the water bladder bag 109 is disposed, even if the water bladder bag 109 is in the unopened package 100, the water can still be pressed or squeezed out. In this way, the patient (even when the catheter 104 is still sealed in the unopened package 100) can be used to achieve the effect of lubricating the catheter 104 by a relatively simple method, thereby allowing the patient to use the prepared guide. The urinary catheter 104 can be used more conveniently and secretly.

Catheter structure

In an embodiment of the invention, the catheter 104 is present in the flexible catheter 201 and is manufactured using a series of steps:

In a first step, the catheter 104 can be placed in the flexible catheter 201.

In the second step, the catheter 104 in the flexible catheter 201 can be treated with heat or solvent to change it into a resilient helical configuration and secured in the flexible catheter.

In the third step, the catheter 104 in the flexible catheter 201, It can be placed in a housing 101 such as a condom housing.

In the fourth step, the tip end of the elastic catheter 201 can be separated, and thus, the separated portion can provide a sliding sheath as the catheter 104.

In a fifth step, one or more central portions of the flexible conduit 201 can be joined to the water bladder bag, and the water bladder can be used to infuse (or ooze) water into the flexible conduit 201 prior to use of the catheter 104. . This effect, in effect, allows the catheter 104 to activate the hydrophilic coating on the surface of the catheter 104 prior to use.

In the sixth step, in order to use the urinary catheter 104, the urinary catheter 104 can be deployed in the flexible catheter 201.

In an alternate embodiment, if the catheter 104 is used, it is retained in the flexible catheter 201, with respect to one or more central portions of the flexible catheter 201, as an outlet for fluid to enter the catheter 104.

Catheter device component

As shown in FIG. 3A (including a first portion showing a bottom member and a second portion showing a top member), the catheter device 301 can include a bottom member 310 and a top member 320. The bottom member 310 can include an inner bottom edge 311 and an outer bottom edge 312.

Similarly, the top member 320 can include an inner top edge 313 and an outer top edge 314. In an embodiment of the present invention, the inner bottom edge 311 is similar in size to the inner top edge 313, and both are configured to be engageable with one another. Similarly, in an embodiment of the present invention, the outer bottom edge 312 is similar in size to the outer top edge 314, and both are configured to be engageable with one another.

In an embodiment of the present invention, the inner bottom edge 311 and the inner side The side top edge 313 is substantially circular in shape and is configured to rotate in accordance with the same axis, thus rotating the bottom member 310 and its associated top member 320 may allow the inner bottom edge 311 and the inner top edge 313 to be on the same axis , relative to each other, radial movement.

Similarly, in such embodiments, the outer bottom edge 312 and the outer top edge 314 are substantially circular in shape and are configured to rotate in accordance with the same axis, thus rotating the bottom member 310 and its associated top member 320 The outer bottom edge 312 and the outer top edge 314 may be allowed to move radially relative to each other on the same axis.

After reading this disclosure, those skilled in the art will recognize that by any of a number of alternatives, the bottom member 310 and the top member 320 can move radially relative to one another, each of which is feasible. And in the scope and spirit of the present invention, no further novel or performing reduction experiments are required. For example, when the top member 320 is relatively stable, the bottom member 310 is movable, and when the bottom member 310 is relatively stable, the top member 320 is movable, or the bottom member 310 and the top member 320 are both Can move at the same time.

In an embodiment of the present invention, the inner bottom edge 311 can include an inner recess 315 at which the conduit proximal end 106 can be disposed. In these embodiments of the present invention, the proximal end 106 of the catheter is wider than the body of the catheter 104 so that, through the inner recess 315, the proximal end 106 of the catheter can be restrained from sliding and the proximal end 106 of the catheter can be secured to the bottom. The inner bottom edge 311 of the element 310.

At the same time, the present invention describes that the proximal end 106 of the catheter is open to the outside and its opening is limited by the inner recess 315 to limit the proximal end 106 of the catheter. Sliding, however, in the context of the present invention, there are no special requirements to limit it. The urinary catheter 104 can be used to urinate urine, and the outwardly open catheter proximal end 106 can have other uses, such as aiming at a target or otherwise.

In an embodiment of the present invention, the inner bottom edge 311 includes a resilient, protruding wall surface that is engageable with the top member 320. In another alternative embodiment, the inner top edge 313 includes a resiliently protruding wall surface that can be joined to the bottom member 310. Thus, it is possible to achieve a shape in which the bottom member 310 and the top member 320 form a similar reel, which may include a center at which the catheter 104 is wound.

In an embodiment of the present invention, the inner top edge 313 includes a protruding wall surface that is not necessarily joined together and does not necessarily have elasticity, and the protruding wall surface can be coupled to the bottom member 310. In other alternative embodiments, the outer bottom edge 312 includes a protruding wall surface that is not necessarily joined together and does not necessarily have elasticity, and the protruding wall surface can be coupled to the top member 320. Thus, it is achieved that the bottom member 310 and the top member 320 form a closed reel-like shape that can include a center that entangles the catheter 104.

Catheter connection

As shown in FIG. 3B (including a first portion showing a separate device and a second portion showing a connected device), in an embodiment of the present invention, when the bottom member 310 and the top member 320 are joined together, they are formed. The donut-shaped space has a central inner core wall 331 , a peripheral outer limiting wall 332 , a bottom limiting wall 333 and a top limiting wall 334 .

In an embodiment of the present invention, a donut-like shaped space is considered to have a substantially circular inner core wall surface 331 and a substantially circular outer shape. A limiting wall 332, a substantially flat bottom limiting wall 333 and a substantially flat top limiting wall 334. However, in the context of the present invention, there are no special requirements to limit it.

In a first example, the substantially circular inner core wall surface 331 and the substantially circular outer limiting wall surface 332, possibly one of which is a polygonal shape, for example, one or more of which form a polygon.

In a second example, the inner core wall 331 and the outer limiting wall 332 can be defined to include one or more additional notches, with the effect of not necessarily being defined as a solid wall.

In the third example, the bottom limiting wall surface 333 and the top limiting wall surface 334 are not necessarily flat, and one or more of them may be raised, inverted convex or some other surface.

In a fourth example, one or more of the bottom limiting wall 333 and the top limiting wall 334 can be defined to include one or more additional openings, with the effect of not necessarily being defined as a solid wall.

The inner core wall 331 can be defined by the engagement of the inner edge of the bottom element and the inner edge of the top element.
