A FOLDING DEVICE TO ASSIST IN SELF INSERTION OF A CATHETER TUBE INTO THE URETHRAL ORIFICE OF WOMEN
The present invention is a folding urethral catheter tube insertion device for women, abbreviated to: FUCID. Th device facilitates easy finding of the location of the external urethral orifice in women and assists in the self insertion of a catheter tube into the urethra orifice while widening the orifice. Once inserted, user is able to disconnect the device from her body while maintaining the catheter tube in the urethra tract. The FUCID is typically produced as a single entity product and is typically produced by injection cast molding technology of a semi-rigid material. The FUCID folds to a compact, small size configuration, that is suitable and convenient to carry around in a small purse or small bag. The folded configuration of the FUCID is easily and simply unfolded to a ready-for-deployment configuration. The device is is constructed of : a vaginal insertion portion, abbriviated to VIP, a hollow funnel shaped tube guiding channel portion, abbriviated to TGCP, and a bridging plate between the two portions. The bridging plate is connected in a fixed connection of approximately 90 degrees to the widen side of TGCP and is connected to the VIP by a flexible hinge connection. Flexible wing curved bars protrude from the TGCP above the plain of the connected bridging plate. In its folded configuration of the FUCID, the VIP is folded to be in an approximate spatial parallel configuration with TGCP. In the FUCID unfolded configuration, the VIP is folded to be in an approximate aligned spatial configuration with FUCID. In deploying the FUCID, the TGCP aligned VIP is inserted into the vagina while positioning the opening of the wide side of TGCP over the uretheral orifice of the patient. The TGCP is pushed towards the body of the patient, causing the flexible wing curved bars to come into contact with the skin surrounding the urtheral orifice and to widen the orifice openning. With orifice openened the catheter tube is inserted through the TGCP.
The present invention is a device and method for external urinary incontinence treatment for men that can be self-deployed by a patient or by a care giver. Via the device, a urine removal tube is reversible connected to the glans penis of a treated patient for the removal of urine from a treated patient. The device of the present invention is composed of a penis connecting component and a tube connector component. The tube connector component reversibly contact-connects a urine receiving component to the glans penis of a treated patient. The tube connector component is reversibly connected, anchored and fixated in place to the glans penis of the treated patient by the penis connection component. The connection, disconnection and again reconnection of the penis connection component to the glans penis is easy and simple to carry out.' The connection stabilizes, fixates and adjusts the tightness of the contact-connection between the skin surrounding the orifice of the urethral tract of a treated patient and the urine receiving component. The urine receiving component has spring-like characteristics bestowed by "accordion-like" components that enable a urine leak-free contact-connection while minimizing the discomfort caused to the treated patient.
The invention is an external urinary incontinence treatment method and device for women that assists women or a care giver in locating the orifice of the urethral tract for the connection of a tube for removal of urine. The method and device facilitate a stable and reversibly fixated connection of a urine receiving component with the skin surrounding the orifice of the urethral tract of a treated patient while minimizing the discomfort of the treatment. The device for the treatment in women of urinary incontinence comprises a urine collecting component and a stabilizing component that are reversibly connected in a manner that the distance between the components can easily be altered so as to minimize the discomfort caused to a treated patient.
The present invention is a device to assist in the insertion of a catheter tube into the urethral tract of women The device simplifies the finding of the location of the external urethral orifice and widens the orifice so that women patients may perform self-insertions of a catheter into the external orifice of the urethral tract for medical treatments without the assistance of a physician or a caregiver and with substantialy reduced discomfort. The device is constructed of : a vaginal insertion portion, a catheter tube guiding portion, at least two wing structures configured to widen the urethra orifice and a vaginal insertion element. Both the vaginal insertion portion and the catheter tube guiding portion of the UCAD are constructed as plates having elongated configurations. The vaginal insertion portion and the catheter tube guiding portion connect at one of their edges in a spatial configuration that forms an L shaped structure. The vaginal insertion portion of the UCAD has a configuration designed to be placed in the vagina, adjacent to the pubic symphysis of a treated women patient. The catheter tube guiding portion has a hole at the unconnected edge. Through the hole the catheter tube is inserted into the urethral tract of a treated patient. The catheter tube is removable from the hole in the catheter tube guiding portion without having to remove the catheter tube from the orifice of urethral tract, as explained below. The vaginal insertion element is connected to the vaginal insertion portion. The wing structures connect to the catheter tube guiding portion and protrude from the rim of said hole in the catheter tube guiding portion.
