A urinary collection device includes an outer surface and a generally fluid-permeable core that communicates fluidically with an aspiration tube. The outer surface includes an obverse opening to allow urine to flow into the fluid-permeable core when the device is positioned supralabially. On the reverse may be an actuatable fastener configured to retain the device in a reverse-folded intralabial position. In this manner the device may be placed supralabially or intralabially for urine collection as appropriate. The core may include a first knit fabric layer and a second knit fabric layer joined by a plurality of fibers, the fibers being oriented generally to extend from an obverse to a reverse position to thereby result in flow channels through the core.

A medical drainage tube for transporting liquid from a liquid source to a liquid storage device, the medical drainage tube includes an inner surface which defines a lumen; an inlet for coupling to a liquid source and for receiving liquid into the lumen from the liquid source; an outlet for coupling to a liquid storage device and for transporting the received liquid from the lumen to the liquid storage device; and an indicator including an indicating agent which, when the medical drainage tube is in use, is configured to dissolve after being exposed to the liquid for at least 24 hours, thereby providing a trigger which notifies a user that the medical drainage tube requires replacement.

A fluid replacement method including: determining the amount of urine expelled by a patient; infusing via a pump fluid from a first fluid source into a patient; determining an amount of fluid infused into the patient from the first fluid source; adjusting the operating of the pump based on the determined amount of urine expelled and the amount of fluid infused into the patient; setting a desired fluid balance for the patient; setting an amount of at least one additional fluid delivered to the patient, wherein the at least one additional fluid is not pumped into the patient; calculating an actual fluid balance based on the determined urine output, the determined amount of fluid infused into the patient from the first fluid source, and the set amount of said at least one additional fluid delivered to the patient; and automatically controlling the pump based on the actual fluid balance and the set desired fluid balance so the actual fluid balance conforms to the desired fluid balance.

A flow stopper preventing the backflow of urine comprises a urinary catheter connector, a flow stopping valve, and a urinary bag connector. The flow stopping valve is a membrane material. A flow channel runs through the front and rear ends of the flow stopping valve. The flow channel is provided with a front-end inlet and a rear-end outlet. The front-end inlet is in communication with a valve port of the urinary catheter connector. The rear-end outlet is a flat slit. A channel of the urinary bag connector is provided with a front-end port and a rear-end port connected to a tube of a urinary bag. The flow stopping valve is arranged within the channel. Moreover, the rear-end outlet of the flow channel faces the rear-end port of the channel. The flow stopper can prevent the backflow of the urine and prevent a patient from being infected.

Disclosed herein is a method for increasing urine output and/or sodium output from a patient having venous congestion. The method includes (a) administering at least one medicament to a patient, wherein the medicament increases urine output and/or sodium output from the patient; and (b) applying negative pressure to a drainage lumen of a urinary catheter such that flow of urine from a ureter and/or kidney of the patient is transported within the drainage lumen to extract urine from the patient; wherein administering the at least one medicament occurs before, during and/or after applying negative pressure.

An automatic urine treatment system according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a receiver for receiving wearer's excrement; a main body including a urine tank for receiving and storing urine from the receiver, and a vacuum pump for sucking air into the urine tank and transferring a negative pressure to the receiver; and a first connecting hose connecting the receiver and the urine tank. A strip accommodation unit for accommodating a strip for analyzing components of the stored urine through color change is formed inside the urine tank, and on the outer surface of the urine tank, urine analysis is performed using a first optical sensor unit for sensing color change of the strip, and a second optical sensor unit for sensing at least one among turbidity and color change of the stored urine. There is an advantage of being able to confirm the health condition of disabled or elderly people in real-time through the urine information analyzed in this way.

Devices, systems, and methods for delivering fluid therapy to a patient are disclosed herein. An exemplary method can comprise obtaining a urine output rate from a patient; causing a diuretic to be provided to the patient at a dosage rate, wherein the dosage rate is increased over a period of time such that the urine output rate increases to be above a predetermined threshold within the period of time; and causing a hydration fluid to be provided to the patient at a hydration rate. The hydration rate can be set based on the urine output rate to drive net fluid loss from the patient.

Embodiments disclosed herein are directed to a dynamic response drainage and occlusion system configured to drain a fluid from a patient. The drainage system includes an input airflow device to provide airflow into the drainage lumen, a pressure sensor to measure pressure within the drainage tube, and an output airflow device to provide airflow out of the drainage tube. A controller including control logic configured to acquire pressure data from the pressure sensor, determine a running pressure rate-of-change from the acquired pressure data, compare the running pressure rate-of-change with a pressure rate-of-change defined by the control logic, and adjust an operating characteristic of at least one of the input airflow device and the output airflow device to move the running pressure rate-of-change toward the pressure rate-of-change defined by the control logic. The system further includes catheter occlusions systems to automatically protect the patient from pressure spikes within the system.

A multi-lumen catheter, for insertion into and draining a body cavity, that mitigates the risk of obstruction of the drainage ports and drainage lumen of the catheter, reduces the detrimental effects caused by the suction forces of the drainage ports on the body cavity being drained, and reduces the risk of infection of the body cavity being drained by decreasing the residual volume of fluid retained in the body cavity being drained. These advantages are achieved by the novel approach of disposing a perforated filter membrane or a membrane having a relatively large entry port(s) between membrane struts over a segmented retention element and also over the drainage port(s) of the drainage lumen of the catheter thereby creating internal interstitial drainage channels and internal interstitial drainage cavities.

A lid adapter for coupling with a lid of a collection container where the lid includes an outlet vent. The lid adapter including a housing including a top surface and one or more side panels that are configured to couple with a top of the lid and a port coupled to the top surface and configured to rotate between a first position and a second position, wherein when the lid adapter is coupled to the lid and the port is in the first position, a fluid seal is established between a distal end of the port and the top of the lid surrounding the outlet vent thereby enabling fluid flow from the outlet vent and through the port. When the port is in the second position, the fluid seal is not established, and when the port is in the first position, the port is disposed perpendicularly to the top surface.
