| 20090124929 | Feminine urine sample collection device with screw-on led and detachable support and handle - The invention provides an improved urine sample gathering device specifically for women. The device permits a woman to position the device with ease, control and comfort, ensures that the urine will sanitarily and effectively collect in the sample bottle and prevents any actual contact with the urine. The device is comprised of 4 separate, detachable and disposable parts that include the following: (1) a curved, oval basin, cup or apparatus shaped to fit comfortably and securely around the female genitalia that screws over a container or bottle and is detachable and disposable; (2) a container or bottle in which the urine will collect and can be stored; (3) an underlying lid which unscrews from the bottom of the container or bottle to secure the urine sample once it is collected; (4) an outer support apparatus or handle that is detachable and disposable with a curved hook-like end to permit handling or storage of the entire urine sample device. | 05-14-2009 |
| 20120046573 | MID-FLOW APPLICATOR - A mid-flow applicator to assist in female urine collection comprising: a urine reservoir, where a first side funnel, a second side funnel, a back catch and a pelvic shield lip surround said reservoir; a back lip on each side of the back catch; a pelvic shield lip extending upwardly from the pelvic shield; a front lip on each side of the pelvic shield lip; and an opening at the bottom of the reservoir. The applicator further includes a mechanism to attach the opening to a urine sample cup. The mechanism to attach may include a screw, matching lip seal and a slip on attachment. The reservoir, funnels, back catch and pelvic shield are uniquely configured to encourage the flow of urine to the opening and into an attached urine sample cup. | 02-23-2012 |
| 20140121561 | Specimen Collection Device - The present invention is a specimen collection device. The specimen collection device is designed to provide a convenient and sanitary way to collect a specimen. The device is comprised of an upper portion with an opening, a lower portion with another opening, a handle and a securing mechanism. The oval shaped contour of the upper portion of the device conforms to female body. The handle at the exterior edge of the upper portion includes grips on the top and bottom surfaces of the handle to prevent the device from slipping from the users hands. The device includes a securing mechanism such as threads on the device that interlock with the threads on the opening a storage. The securing mechanism firmly connects the device to the storage eliminating leakage and loss due to misdirection. | 05-01-2014 |
| 20140135651 | Urine Specimen Collection Device - A urine collection device for human females; said collection device comprising a funnel-shaped upper portion extending to a cylindrical connecting collar; said collar provided with inwardly projecting engagement structures; said structures adapted to engage with at least two different thread configurations of externally threaded upper portions of urine specimen collection jars; said collar further including an internal flange for sealing engagement with an upper rim of a said urine specimen collection jar. | 05-15-2014 |
| 20140323912 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR IDENTIFYING A CONDITION OF PELVIC FLOOR MUSCLES - Embodiments disclosed herein are configured for identifying a condition of pelvic floor muscles. In one embodiment, a kit is provided that includes a wetness detection device with a backsheet, where the backsheet is substantially impervious to liquid. The wetness detection device may additionally include an insert that is coupled to the backsheet via a securing mechanism, where the insert is constructed with a predetermined absorbency. The wetness detection device may include an indicator that is coupled to the insert that reacts when in contact with liquid, such that because of the predetermined absorbency of the insert. The indicator may identify progress on pelvic floor muscles of a wearer of the wetness detection device. Additionally, the kit may include instructions for exercising the pelvic floor muscles to perform while wearing the wetness detection device, where the instructions describe application of the wetness detection device. | 10-30-2014 |
| 20150011910 | FLUID DIVERSION MECHANISM FOR BODILY-FLUID SAMPLING - An apparatus includes a housing, a fluid reservoir, a flow control mechanism, and an actuator. The housing defines an inner volume and has an inlet port that can be fluidically coupled to a patient and an outlet port. The fluid reservoir is disposed in the inner volume to receive and isolate a first volume of a bodily-fluid. The flow control mechanism is rotatable in the housing from a first configuration, in which a first lumen places the inlet port is in fluid communication with the fluid reservoir, and a second configuration, in which a second lumen places the inlet port in fluid communication with the outlet port. The actuator is configured to create a negative pressure in the fluid reservoir and is configured to rotate the flow control mechanism from the first configuration to the second configuration after the first volume of bodily-fluid is received in the fluid reservoir. | 01-08-2015 |
