Definitions
- the present disclosure relates to the field of urine disposal devices which attach to the penis of a patient, for example suffering from urinary incontinence, without adhesive or medical glue.
- Urinary incontinence is characterized by an involuntary loss of urine through the urethra.
- Non-absorbent devices include:
- a penis sheath conventionally has a shape similar to that of a condom and it generally comprises a set of a sheath which is placed on the penis and an end piece to which a tube is connected, connected to a collection pocket;
- Urinary catheters have proven their effectiveness, but they are unpleasant and painful for the patient and can be disabling for certain gestures of daily living. They can also be sources of infection.
- Urine disposal devices that include penis sheaths using medical adhesive or glue that secures the sheath to the penis or glans of the patient's penis have several shortcomings.
- American patent US 4,388,923 describes a urine evacuation device in the form of a condom which unrolls only on the glans of the patient's penis. Once the device is placed on the glans, the patient unrolls his foreskin over the device.
- the device also includes an elastic sheath that can unroll from one side or the other of the condom, like an umbrella that bends in one direction or the other. Thus, the sheath can be unrolled on the foreskin so as to imprison the latter and hold the device tight on the patient's foreskin.
- the device ends in a tube that concentrates the patient's urine into a pocket.
- Patent application US 2001/0005782 describes, for example, placing an elastic connection between the tubing and the end of the condom being placed on the glans.
- Patent application US 2004/0087921 discloses providing the membrane covering the foreskin in a breathable material allowing gas exchange but not liquid exchange.
- the devices described above have the following drawbacks: they are difficult to adapt to different morphologies of glans and penises of patients. Indeed, the dimension of the device is limited by the size of the elastic sheath which unfolds over the foreskin. The elasticity of the sheath decreases over time and the maintenance of the device is no longer assured. The patient cannot adjust the tightness of the device. Finally, the sheath retracts violently by elastic effect when removing the device and unpleasant splashes for the patient may occur.
- the device of the present invention relates to a urine evacuation device which would improve the situation and solve the problems mentioned above. Also, the device of the present invention can be used by patients, for example aviators or glider pilots, who do not necessarily suffer from urinary incontinence but who need a urine evacuation device because they do not have access to a toilet for a long time.
- the invention is a device for eliminating urine comprising a balanic case (the term balanic is an adjective meaning "relating to the glans of the penis") non-adhesive and a fixing system, where the balanic case comprises a proximal part for receiving the scalped glans of a patient, the proximal part of the balanic case having a frustoconical inner surface and an outer surface, the inner surface and the outer surface of the proximal part of the sheath each comprising a distal end of small diameter and a proximal end of large diameter, where the fastening system is configured to hold the patient's foreskin unrolled on the outer surface of the proximal part of the balanic sheath, characterized in that the balanic sheath comprises a distal part extending the proximal part with an outer surface having a protuberance so that the foreskin, when it is unrolled, is held by the fasten
- the particular shape of the balanic sheath, combined with the protuberance, makes it possible to effectively maintain the balanic sheath on the patient's penis thanks to the fixing system which tightens the foreskin upstream of the protuberance, straddling the proximal and distal parts of the balanic sheath.
- the specific shape and position of the protrusion allow easy placement of the sheath on the penis.
- the protrusion also allows effective tightening of the fastening system on the case.
- the protuberance is a circular bead, whether continuous or not, provided on a disc perpendicularly intersecting the distal part of the balanic sheath, when the latter is seen from the side with the axis of the proximal frustoconical part collinear with a vertical axis.
- a continuous or non-continuous bead as a protrusion creates a hollow, continuous or not, at the outer surface of the sheath, straddling the proximal part and the distal part of the sheath, and makes it possible to maintain the foreskin effectively while preventing the fastening system from slipping.
- the fastening system is a non-rigid clamping collar.
- the non-rigid collar is preferably adaptable to the thickness and length of the foreskin.
- the non-rigid tightening collar is for example a scratch band (which may or may not be elastic), or a cord which is tightened using a lock cord type tightening button, or a cord (in particular elastic) which closes using a push button, or an elastic circular band, or a flexible magnet in the form of a band, or a cord (notably elastic) which closes using a magnet.
- the size of the penis may vary and the patient may need to adapt the hold of the device on the penis.
- the use of a non-rigid and adaptable tightening collar allows the patient to very easily adjust the tightening of the foreskin on the external surface of the balanic sheath.
- the fastening system is a rigid clamping collar.
- the rigid collar can comprise two articulated parts which close around the foreskin using, for example, a hook-and-loop fastener, a magnetic fastener or a nail closure system.
- a nail closure system includes a first part with at least one hole that accommodates the nail of a second part of the system. This type of closure is conventionally used for tightening and closing watches.
- the fixing system is a system of clamps, the clamps of which clamp the foreskin on the balanic sheath, upstream of the protrusion, straddling the proximal part and the distal part of the sheath, and the operating mechanism of the clamps is located downstream of the protuberance, at the level of the distal part of the sheath.
- the operating mechanism of the clamps is, for example, a spring-operated system.
- the end of the clamps coming into contact with the foreskin to tighten it on the case may comprise a magnet which is magnetically fixed to another magnet provided in or on the case.
- the operating mechanism of the clamps can be a ring which is screwed onto a thread provided on the distal part of the sheath or clips onto a notch provided on the distal part of the sheath so that when the ring is screwed or clipped downstream of the protuberance, the clamps are tightened on the patient's foreskin upstream of the protuberance.
- the clamps can also be held around the foreskin by surrounding them and tightening them using a non-rigid clamp as described above.
- the clamp system allows the patient to more conveniently attach the balanic case with the patient's foreskin and to remove it simply by loosening the clamps. Also, the clamp system can be modified to tighten the clamps more or less tightly on the foreskin, for example by adjusting the elastic force of the springs.
- the fixing system is a "skirt" type fixing system comprising a first circular elastic downstream of the protuberance and a non-rigid clamping collar as described above placed so as to tighten the patient's foreskin upstream of the protuberance, straddling the proximal part and the distal part of the case.
- the first rubber band and the non-rigid clamping collar are interconnected by a fine textile such as silk or cotton or a silicone weave.
- the “skirt” type fixing system ensures the maintenance of the foreskin on the balanic case on the one hand and the maintenance of the fixing system on the case on the other hand.
- the inner surface of the balanic sheath can be made of a different material from the outer surface thereof.
- the balanic sheath can also be made from a single block, from a single material.
- the balanic case can be made, for example, of a material or a combination of materials chosen from the families of polyolefins, styrenics, vinyls, polyamides, polyesters, polyketides, polysulphides, polysulphones, poly acetals, thermoplastic elastomers, polycarbonates, fluorinated polymers.
- the material is chosen from thermoplastic polymers and silicones.
- the material is chosen from polyvinyl chloride, silicones, polyethylene, polystyrene, polypropylene, polyethylene terephthalate, polyacrylate and poly-methyl-acrylate and polyurethane.

- the ratio between the large diameter of the inner surface of the proximal part of the sheath and the smallest diameter of the distal end of the proximal part of the sheath can be between 1 and 3, and still preferably 2.
- the protuberance can be in the shape of a half-ball or a section of a ball.
- the protuberance seen from the side, is then a semicircle or an arc of a circle forming the surface exterior of the distal part of the case at the protuberance, characterized by a diameter in the case where the protuberance is a half-ball or an arc length in the case of a ball section, and a thickness which is the maximum distance between the inner surface and the outer surface of the distal part of the case at the level of the protuberance, and the distance between the center of the half-ball and the large diameter proximal end of the proximal part of the case .

- the thickness of the protuberance is the chord height which is preferably smaller than the diameter of the ball.
- the distance between the center of the half-ball and the large diameter proximal end can be between 15 and 25 mm and preferably 21 mm.
- the bead seen from the side when the longitudinal axis of the balanic sheath is collinear with a vertical axis can have a shape according to a bell curve or Gaussian curve, the bead can be characterized by a height of between 5 and 20 mm, preferably 5 and 15 mm and still preferably 9 mm.
- the thickness of the bead between the inner surface and the outer surface may be between 3 and 20mm, preferably between 5 and 15mm and even more preferably 7mm.
- the shape of the bead is therefore a little more particular than that of a half-ball. Also, the bead "goes around" the case continuously or not while the protuberance in the form of a half-ball or a section of a ball is only a "bump" which appears on one side of the case.

- the inventors had to produce a balanic case 10 having a specific shape and dimensions allowing the case to be held optimally on the patient's penis.
- the inventors have implemented a clever urine elimination device comprising a balanic sheath 10 and a fixing system which makes it possible to tighten the patient's foreskin on the sheath.
- the balanic case 10 of the urine elimination device comprises a proximal part 11 and a distal part 12.

- the balanic sheath 10 has a longitudinal axis which is an axis collinear with the height of the truncated cone of the inner surface of the proximal part 11 of the balanic sheath 10.
- the term “vertical axis” will be understood to mean an axis pointing upwards, perpendicular to the ground.
- FIG. 1 shows a side view of the balanic case 10 when its longitudinal axis is collinear with a vertical axis.
- the balanic case 10 can be characterized by different lengths.
- the total length L of the balanic sheath (proximal part plus distal part) considered along its longitudinal axis, can be between 15 and 60mm, preferably 30 and 40mm and even more preferably 35mm.
- the total length L of the sheath is much greater, for example up to 1 m.

- the proximal part 11 comprises two surfaces where the inner surface is of frustoconical shape and the outer surface forms slight ripples.
- the inner surface of the distal part 12 has an advantageous inner surface with several shrinkages.
- the inner surface of the distal part 12 has, just after the proximal part 11 of the case, a zone of almost constant width which forms a reservoir and then a zone which narrows to evacuate the urine from the reservoir.

- the outer surface of the proximal part 11 of the balanic sheath may be of the same shape as the inner surface of the proximal part 11 of the sheath, in which case the thickness between these two surfaces is constant.
- the thickness between the two surfaces may vary.
- the outer surface of the proximal part 11 of the case may have variations, for example in the form of ripples.
- the outer surface like the inner surface, comprises a large diameter at the proximal end of the proximal part 11 and a small diameter at the distal end of the proximal part 11 of the draining device so that the proximal part 11 of the case has a rough shape of a truncated cone.
- the inner surface and the outer surface of the proximal part 11 of the balanic sheath are in continuity of material with the inner surface and the outer surface of the distal part 12 of the sheath.
- the inner surface of the distal part 12 of the case is preferably funnel-shaped.
- the outer surface has for its part a protrusion B described in more detail below.
- the inner surface of the distal part 12 may also have several narrowings down to a minimum narrowing of smaller diameter between 0.5 and 3 mm, preferably between 1 and 4 mm and even more preferably 3 mm, at the distal end of the distal part 12.
- the distal end of the distal part 12 of the balanic sheath is intended to collect the urine and direct it towards the outside of the sheath, for example by being connected to a tube then a pocket via in particular a connection part 13.
- This connection part 13 can be a tube coming from material with the distal part 12 or added to it.
- the outer diameter of the tube may be between 4 and 8 mm, in particular between 5 and 7 mm, for example 6 mm.
- the internal diameter of the tube can be between 1.5 and 3.5 mm, in particular between 2 and 3 mm, for example 2.5 mm.
- the balanic sheath 10 of the urine elimination device of the present invention is characterized in that the outer surface of the distal part 12u of the sheath has a protuberance B, towards the outside, provided at a predetermined distance d from the proximal end of large diameter Dp of the sheath, so that the fastening system clamps the patient's foreskin upstream of the protuberance B, on a part C straddling the proximal part e and the distal part 12, the upstream being the part closest to the end large diameter proximal end and downstream is the part closest to the small diameter end of the sheath.
- the protuberance B makes it possible to fix the foreskin upstream of the latter thanks to the fixing system.
- the protrusion B allows for example that the fastening system does not slip along the case.
- the protrusion B is for example a "bump" located on the outer surface of the distal part of the case.
- the bump is a volume like a half-ball characterized by a center and a diameter.
- the predetermined distance d is the distance between the center of the half-ball and the proximal end of the case, projected onto the height of the truncated cone of the case (according to the longitudinal axis of the truncated cone therefore).
- the diameter I of the half-ball can also be adjusted, depending for example on the fastening system implemented.
- the protuberance is a continuous or non-continuous circular bead B, provided on a disc perpendicularly intersecting the distal part of the balanic sheath when the latter is seen from the side with the longitudinal axis of the cone collinear with a vertical axis.
- a discontinuous bead B can, for example, increase the breathability of the foreskin.
- a continuous bead B optimizes the hold of the sheath on the foreskin with the fastening system. A compromise between these two effects can be chosen.
- FIG. 2 shows a cross-sectional view of the urine disposal device according to the invention when the longitudinal axis of the balanic sheath is collinear with a vertical axis according to an embodiment where the protuberance B is a continuous bead.
- the bead B may for example correspond to a so-called bell curve or a Gaussian curve or a parabola.
- a person skilled in the art is able to choose a curve which allows optimum retention of the fastening system upstream of the bead.
- the bead B is defined by its thickness e, its height /, and its predetermined distance d from the large-diameter proximal end of the balanic sheath.
- the bead can thus be characterized by a height I of between 5 and 20 mm, preferably 5 and 15 mm and even more preferably 9 mm; a thickness e of the bead between the inner surface and the outer surface may be between 3 and 20 mm, preferably between 5 and 15 mm and still preferably 7 mm and a distance d at the large diameter proximal end of the balanic sheath of between 15 and 25 mm and preferably 21 mm.
- the thickness e is the thickness between the inner surface and the outer surface of the distal part of the balanic sheath forming the bead.
- This thickness can be solid (a single material making up the case for example) or this thickness can be filled with air, for example to lighten the weight of the case.
- the outer surface of the bead can be rigid or non-rigid. In the case where the bead is not rigid, the user can for example deform it by pressing on it. This can, for example, facilitate the installation of a particular fastening system.
- FIG. 3 shows a perspective view of the case according to an embodiment of the present invention where the protuberance B is a continuous bead.
- Figure 3 shows the large-diameter proximal end Dp intended to be placed on the glans of the patient's penis, as well as the bead B placed at a predetermined distance from the proximal end Dp. Between the bead B and the proximal end Dp, the balanic sheath presents a hollow C straddling the proximal part and the distal part.
- the patient's foreskin is folded over the outer surface of the proximal part of the sheath (upstream of the protrusion B which is a bead in this embodiment).
- the foreskin then lodges in the hollow C formed upstream of the bead B.
- the hollow C is the consequence of the frustoconical shape of the inner surface of the proximal part 11 of the balanic sheath and the position of the protuberance straddling the proximal part 11 and the distal part 12. It is in this hollow that the foreskin is lodged and that the fastening system maintains the balanic sheath 10 on the glans of the patient's penis.
- FIG. 4 shows a front view, through the small-diameter distal end of the balanic sheath of the urine elimination device according to an embodiment of the present invention where the fixing system 100 is a non-rigid clamping collar in the form of a cord which is tightened using a lock cord-type clamping button 110.
- the non-rigid clamping collar can also be, for example, a scratch band, or a cord which closes with a push button, or an elastic circular band, or a flexible magnet in the form of a band, or a cord (in particular elastic) which closes with a magnet.
- the cord may be elastic or have a plurality of female push button parts along the cord and a single male push button part at the end of the cord, or alternatively a plurality of male push button parts along the cord and a single female push button part at the end of the cord.
- the user places the cord upstream of the protuberance and the greenhouse using the tightening button of the cord type Ecluse 110.
- the tightening button with a cord type allows you to easily adjust the tightening and also allows you to adapt to the day Patient yards.
- the cord 100 is fully visible in Figure 4 to facilitate understanding of the invention.
- the part of the cord tightened around the foreskin is hidden at least in part by the protuberance when the balanic sheath is seen from the front by the distal end of small diameter.
- FIG. 5 is a side view of the urine disposal device of the present invention when the longitudinal axis of the balanic sheath is co-linear with a vertical axis, according to an embodiment where the fastening system is a rigid clamping collar comprising two articulated parts 210 and 220 which close around the foreskin using a scratch band or a nail fastening system.
- the fastening system is a rigid clamping collar comprising two articulated parts 210 and 220 which close around the foreskin using a scratch band or a nail fastening system.
- This fastening system is practical to implement and it can easily be washed or sterilized. It also has a long lifespan.
- FIG. 6 shows a side view of the urine elimination device when the longitudinal axis of the balanic sheath is collinear with a vertical axis, according to an embodiment where the fastening system is a system of clamps, the clamps 310 of which clamp the foreskin on the sheath upstream of the bead and the operating mechanism 320 of the clamps is located downstream of the bead, the fastening system fixing being open.
- the fastening system is a system of clamps, the clamps 310 of which clamp the foreskin on the sheath upstream of the bead and the operating mechanism 320 of the clamps is located downstream of the bead, the fastening system fixing being open.
- FIG. 6 illustrates the embodiment where the operating mechanism 320 of the clamps is a spring-operated system.
- the fixing system may further comprise two protrusions 330 with which the user can open the clamps by exerting pressure on the protrusions 330. Once the pressure is released, the elastic force of the springs tightens the foreskin upstream of the bead B, at the level of the hollow C where is the foreskin folded over the sheath. By adjusting the elastic force of the springs, it is possible to adjust the tightness of the patient's foreskin on the sheath.
- the fixing system may be integral with the case or it may be possible to change it. For example, the fastening system is glued, clipped or even screwed onto the balanic sheath using a ring 340 placed downstream of the bead B.
- the end of the clamps 310 coming into contact with the foreskin to tighten the latter on the balanic sheath may comprise a magnet which is magnetically fixed to another magnet then provided in or on the sheath.
- the magnets can replace or reinforce the mechanism of action of the clamps using for example a spring 320.
- FIG. 7 shows another embodiment where the operating mechanism of the clamps is no longer a spring action mechanism or comprising protuberances on which the user can press, but a ring 420 which is screwed onto a thread provided downstream of the bead or clips onto a notch provided downstream of the bead, so that the clamps 310 are tightened on the patient's foreskin upstream of the bead B when the ring is screwed or clipped downstream of the bead.
- the clamps tighten the foreskin upstream of the bead B, at the level of the hollow C present on the sheath, straddling the proximal part and the distal part.
- FIGS. 9 and 10 illustrate an embodiment of the present invention where the fixing system is a so-called “skirt” type fixing system which comprises a first circular elastic 510 located downstream of the bead B and a non-rigid clamping collar 100 placed so as to tighten the patient's foreskin upstream of the bead B, the first elastic 510 and the non-rigid clamping collar 100 are interconnected by a fine textile 530 such as silk or cotton or a silicone fabric.
- a fine textile 530 such as silk or cotton or a silicone fabric.
- the user places the fastening system by sliding it over the balanic sheath by pulling the elastics to enlarge them and place them on the sheath so that the first circular elastic 510 tightens the sheath downstream of the bead B and the non-rigid tightening collar 100 tightens the foreskin upstream of the bead B.
- Non-rigid clamp coupled to a lever [0120]
- FIGS 11 to 13 illustrate an embodiment where the fastening system 600 is a non-rigid clamping collar 620, for example a clamping band, coupled to a lever 610.
- the lever 610 is rotatably mounted on the balanic case, in particular on the distal end of the latter, so that the axis of rotation 611 is perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the balanic case.
- the lever 610 extends from the surface of the balanic case, for example from the distal end of the latter, to a free end.
- the axis of rotation 611 is typically located below the connection part 13 to a liquid evacuation pipe from the balanic case 10.
- the lever 610 comprises a closed position (or even lowered, see figures 12, 13, 15 and 16), in which it is close to the balanic case and extends along the latter. In particular, it is in this position that its free end is closest to the surface of the balanic sheath.
- the shape of the lever is chosen so that the lever, in this closed position, is as close as possible to the surface of the balanic case.
- the lever comprises, along its extension from its attachment point 611, a projecting portion 612 which deviates from the longitudinal axis of the balanic sheath (corresponding to the protuberance), a recessed portion 613 which approaches the longitudinal axis of the balanic sheath (corresponding to the area straddling the proximal part and the distal part).
- the recessed portion 613 forms with the straddling area C a gap preferably of 0.5 to 5 mm.
- This interstice corresponds to the thickness of the foreskin.
- the lever 610 and the balanic sheath together form a gap of between 0.5 and 5 mm along the entire length of the balanic sheath.
- this interstice is constant all along the balanic sheath.
- the lever 610 also has a maximum open position (or fully raised, see Figures 11 and 14), in which its free end is furthest from the surface of the balanic case.
- the maximum opening can be obtained when the middle axis 61A of the lever 610 and the longitudinal axis of the balanic case form an angle of 10 to 80°.
- the material for the lever 610 can be one of the materials mentioned above for the balanic sheath.
- the material of the lever and the material of the balanic case are identical.
- the non-rigid clamping collar 620 is fixed to the lever 610, and in particular to its recessed portion 613, by one of its ends and its other end is free.
- the non-rigid clamp 620 may or may not be elastic.
- the non-rigid collar of tightening 620 is adapted to close on itself after having surrounded the balanic case (see FIGS. 13 and 16).
- the non-rigid clamping collar 620 has the shape of a strip, in particular with a length to width ratio greater than 5.
- the width is preferably from 2 to 10 mm.
- the user In use, the user, after having placed the end of the glans in the proximal part of the balanic sheath and unrolled the foreskin on the outer surface of the proximal part as far as the straddle zone C between the proximal part and the distal part, the user lowers the lever 610 into the closed position, grasps the non-rigid clamping collar 620, which is then located opposite the straddle zone C, and passes it all around the straddle zone C of the balanic case in order to surround the latter and fix the free end of the non-rigid clamping collar 620.
- the fixing can be carried out in several ways: either a fixing of the non-rigid clamping collar 620 on itself, or a fixing of the non-rigid clamping collar 620 on the lever 610.
- the non-rigid clamping collar 620 In the case where the non-rigid clamping collar 620 is fixed on itself, it can include a system of scratch or press studs.
- the fixing In the case where the non-rigid clamping collar 620 is fixed on the lever 610, the fixing can be a hook-loop or hook-hook system; in which case, the non-rigid clamp is preferably elastic.
- the invention relates to a kit which comprises the urine evacuation device described above, a tube and a bag for collecting urine.
- the tubing can be attached to the small diameter distal end of the balanic sheath by screwing, gluing or embedding.
- the tubing and the balanic case may not be distinct and may be made in the same mould.
