BACKGROUND
The present invention relates generally to adult inence, and more
particularly to a urine absorbent pad designed for a male that provides an easy and convenient
manner to more safely replace soiled protective wear than the prior art.
Urinary incontinence (UI) is defined as the involuntary loss of urine. In both men
and women, age is a consistently reported risk factor for U1; r, it is not considered a
normal consequence of aging. Overall, UI affects up to 30% of community dwelling older
adults and more than 50% of nursing home residents. Despite its high prevalence, up to one—
half of cases may not be reported because individuals with UI may not seek medical
intervention. Embarrassment and the perception that UI is an expected consequence of aging
are common s in the failure to seek a solution or treatment. That reluctance is
particularly strong in men, who often deem the m to be associated with a loss of
masculinity.
Urinary incontinence is rized ing to hysiology and clinical
presentation. The four main categories are (1) stress urinary incontinence (SUI), (2) urge
urinary incontinence (UUI), (3) overflow incontinence, and (4) functional incontinence.
Mixed types of incontinence are common and may complicate diagnosis and treatment
because of overlapping symptoms. Studies have found that UI significantly affects
psychological well—being and health care—related quality of life. Urinary incontinence may
impair sexual function, restrict activities, interfere with interpersonal relationships, decrease
self—esteem, increase caregiver , increase financial burden, and cause anxiety or
depression. It is a common precipitant of institutionalization in older adults.
Because of current aphic trends, UI is an increasingly common medical and
socioeconomic problem. One place where the issue arises with great propensity is nursing
homes, where older patients often suffer moderate to severe UI due to a variety of
physiological ions. In men, incontinence is often related to prostate problems or
treatments that become exacerbated in the elderly. Certain medical conditions, particularly
those affecting the brain or nervous system, such as Alzheimer’s, son’s, Dementia,
Multiple Sclerosis and brain damage, can also lead to incontinence. This is due to the nerve
passageways from the brain becoming damaged. The result can be either an overactive
bladder (the need to go often and frequently) or an under—active bladder (ineffective ng
leading to leakage). Diabetes and or a stroke can also bring on incontinence.
With aging, bladder capacity decreases, ability to inhibit urination declines,
involuntary bladder contractions (detrusor overactiVity) occur more often, and bladder
contractility is impaired. Thus, voiding becomes more difficult to postpone and tends to be
incomplete. Postvoid residual volume increases in as much as S 100 mL (normal < 50 mL).
A weakening of the endopelVic fascia often results as well. In men, the tendency for the
prostate to enlarge with age causes the partial obstruction of the urethra, leading to
incomplete bladder emptying and strain on the detrusor muscle. These changes occur in
many normal, continent elderly males and may tate incontinence but do not cause it.
One challenge ated with male inence is the necessity for changing
clothing, bedding, and other items that may become soiled due to an incontinence patient.
When a disabled patient has voided his urine, the caregiver must remove the patient's clothing
and bedding while the patient is in a prone position. This can be challenging to the ver,
who must lift the patient to remove the clothing and bedding while aneously trying to
extract the soiled garments and sheets, ts, etc. If the patient is large or overweight, the
problem s magnified even greater.
y patients and residents of nursing homes who are immobile or have reduced
mobility are at high risk for ping pressure ulcers (bed sores). This condition is made
worse if the t is incontinent because the re from urine causes the surface of the
skin to become irritated and infected. For this reason, it is important to prevent urine from
remaining in contact with the skin for any extended period of time, and that it be removed as
soon as possible.
The US. Census Bureau estimates there are 76.4 million baby boomers, and the
oldest of this generation, which includes those born between 1946 and 1964, are over 65
years old. For many of these people, adult diapers are a way to ameliorate the effects of
moderate to severe incontinence. Adult diapers are a $7 n global market, and sales have
grown more than 8 percent over the past five years due to this increasing number of baby
boomers entering their 70s and 80s. This trend appears to be rising as the stigma of wearing
protective arments becomes less and the popularity of these products grow.
r, for males, particularly invalid males, diapers can be an unsatisfactory
solution for several reasons. First, the previously raised issue that, once soiled, the patient
must be changed like an infant by a caregiver who may not have the strength to lift a full
grown adult male. Changing a diaper can lead to the patient being moved in positions that
may strain or injure the patient, particularly when moved by a caregiver with uate
strength to properly maneuver a full grown adult male. , unlike s where the
origin and direction of the urine stream is fairly predictable, males tend to urinate from
different positions, angles, and directions, and this inconsistency leads to leakage. This is
especially true when the patient is lying on his back and suffers incontinence, because a gap
in the top of the diaper at the patient's stomach can provide an opening where urine can leak
outside of the diaper, leading to the issues raised above. Patients who go frequently can get
ignored because of the challenges in changing the patient, leading to health issues as well.
The art is in need of a simple, cost effective device that is ed to the problem of
male incontinence, and can reduce the opportunity for leakage as well as the frequency in
which a patient needs to be moved when an incontinent event occurs. The present invention
is directed to this objective.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The present ion is directed to a disposable urine trap in the form of a
le pad that envelops the male genitalia and closes around the penis to form a barrier to
prevent urine from escaping the trap. The pad includes an tric pair of wings that are
separated by a void attached to the main body of the pad. The first wing is preferably
rectangular in that the distal angles are substantially right angles with parallel side edges and
a perpendicular distal edge, and has a length that exceeds a length of a second wing, which is
terminates so that the distal edge of the second wing is angled to form an obtuse and an acute
angle with respect to its generally parallel sides. The void between the two wings may be
formed by ating a triangular component from each inner side of the first and second
wings to establish a "kite" or "diamond"—shaped void in the pad. The void in the pad may
receive the patient's penis at its base such that the penis extends over the widest and thickest
portion of the pad and the head of the penis occupies the middle area of the pad. Once the
pad is arranged so that the penis is laid over the pad through the void, the first wing is folded
over the top of the penis along a crease where the void lies to overlay the penis and sandwich
the penis between the pad and the first wing. The angle that the first wing protrudes away
from the pad is selected so that the inner side edge of the first wing aligns with a proximal
edge of the second wing when folded over penis as described above. The folding of the first
wing closes the void so that the void now encircles the base of the penis as the penis lays on
the pad. Once the inner side edge of the first wing is placed against the proximal edge of the
second wing, the second wing is then folded over the first wing such that the distal edge of
the first wing and the distal edge of the second wing are substantially orthogonal. The
tric nature of the first and second wings allow the configuration bed above,
such that the wings cooperate to overlay the penis can capture the penis n the two
wings and the thick portion of the pad. An adhesive strip on the opposite side of the first
wing attaches to the second wing and secures the urine trap in the closed configuration. The
comers of the pad can then be folded over the outer side edges of the adjacent first and
second wings to close the trap and envelope the penis inside the pad.
A benefit of the present invention is that it can be placed inside a diaper as well as
an undergarment. If a male patient should urinate in the urine trap, a caregiver can simply
remove the urine trap from the diaper or undergarment without the need to undress, change
the diaper, or move the patient. A new urine trap can be placed on the patient with little or no
bance to the patient and without g the patient over, lifting the patient, or
sing the patient. Moreover, the configuration of the urine trap prevents any
opportunity for leakage at the patient's waistline where most diapers can leak for male
wearers e of the way the present invention envelopes the penis and the way the corners
fold over the pad to eliminate gaps.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED MENTS
Figure 1 illustrates a plan view of a first preferred embodiment of the t
invention, comprising a pad 12 generally formed by a base 24 and first and second wings 14,
16. The pad 12 is formed by enclosing fluid absorbent material between an fluid impervious
outer lining 18 and a soft fluid transmissive inner lining 20. The outer lining 18 may be made
of a polyethylene film or other low cost, biocompatible material to seal in the urine and
prevent leakage outside of the trap. The inner lining 20 that bear's against the user's skin may
be made of opylene or le non—abrasive, non-toxic material that transmits fluid
while largely staying relatively fluid free at the surface. The ent center 22 may contain
wood pulp and super—absorbent polymers such as sodium rylate. Sodium polyacrylate
is effective in wicking away fluid from the skin through the inner lining 20, and can soak up
to 30 times its weight in urine. The ent center is bordered around its edges by adhering
the inner lining 20 and outer lining 18, and the matching of the two mating linings 18,20 can
be arranged to give the pad a rounded shape in the undeformed condition. That is, a w
"bowl" or saucer is created by the fit of the two mating edges such that the edges of the pad
are raised with respect to the base 24. The base 24 is particularly padded at this middle
portion, which is where the introduction of urine is expected in most cases.
As further seen in Figure l, a first wing 14 extends outwardly from a crease 30.
The first wing 14 includes an outer side edge 32, an inner side edge 34, and a distal edge 36.
The side edges 32,34 are substantially parallel, and the distal edge substantially perpendicular
thereto, such that right angels 0. ,B are formed. A generally triangular portion 36 of the inner
edge 34 is removed at the juncture 38 of the first and second wings 14, 16, ng half of a
void 42 through which the penis 76 is inserted.
A second wing 16, which in a preferred ment has a length that is
approximately one half a length of the first wing 14, protrudes from a crease 52 and includes
an inner side edge 46, outer side edge 48, and distal edge 50. As with the first wing, the inner
side edge 46 and outer side edge 48 are substantially parallel, but the distal edge 50 forms an
acute angle v with the outer side edge 48 and an obtuse angle (5 with the inner side edge 46.
A triangular n 54 of the inner edge 46 is removed at the re 38 of the first and
second wings 14, 16, creating the other half of the void 42, which is thusly formed in a shape
of a diamond based on the two triangular resections 36,54 on the inner edges 34, 46.
Figure 2 illustrates a rear view of the pad 12, including a peel away adhesive strip
70 that can be used to secure the pad to the patient or a waistband of the patient. A second
adhesive strip 72 is used to hold the pad in a pouch, or folded position to envelope the
t's genitalia 76.
Figures 3 — 13 illustrate a first method for how the pad 12 encloses the male organ
and creates a cocoon—like wrap around the organ to collect any urine and prevent leakage.
With the patient 80 ably standing or lying on his back, the pad 12 is placed on the user's
thighs with the first wing 14 on the upper right thigh/abdomen and the second wing 16 over
the user's left thigh/abdomen. The user's penis 76 is placed in the void 42 between the first
and second wings 14,16 so that the base of the penis is at the juncture 38 and the head of the
penis is in the central portion, or base 24 of the pad 12 (Figure 4). The first wing 14 is then
folded along crease 30 over the top of the penis such that the inner side edge 34 is
imately along crease 52 (Figures 4, 5). The placement of the first wing 14 in this
on covers the penis 76, and exposes the adhesive strip 72 adjacent the second wing 16.
The protective cover is removed from the ve strip 72 (Figure 6), and the second wing
16 is then folded at crease 52 over the first wing 14 such that the distal edge 50 is
approximately parallel to and adjacent to the side outer edge 32 of the first wing 14 (Figure
7). This uration encloses the penis 76 in the void 42 and creates a leak—proof pouch
over the penis. The first and second wings 14, 16 overlap and cooperate to form a "V" over
the penis (Figure 8), and the comers 64 can then be folded over the "V" in the direction of
arrow 300 (Figure 8) to close the pouch like an envelope, eliminating any opportunity for
urine to escape during urination. A double layer of protection created by the wings 14, 16
(Figures 12 and 13) reduce the opportunity for e and create a drier, more moisture-free
environment for the user 80.
As shown in Figures 9 — 11, the urine trap 12 can be placed inside a diaper or
underpants 90 of a patient 80 without the need to fully s the patient. If the patient
should have incontinence while g the urine trap, it can be removed easily and replaced
by a new pad with minimal jostling or movement of the patient. The larger adhesive strip 70
can be placed on the backside of the pad to secure the pad to the patient's waistband 92 of his
pants or underwear 90 to maintain the urine trap in position. Alternatively, a plurality of
adhesive strips can be secured to the back side or front side of the urine trap to secure it to a
gown or other more loose—fitting clothing.
The unique shape of the first and second wings have multiple benefits over the
existing prior art. First, the wings minimize the amount of material needed to establish a
secure and reliable pouch, and eliminate excess flaps that can catch on garments and
inadvertently open the pouch. For example, the inner side edge 46 of the second wing 16
aligns with the base of the first wing 14 at the crease 30 when the second wing 16 is folded
over the first wing 14. Similarly, the inner side edge 34 of the first wing 14 aligns perfectly
with the base of the second wing 16 at the crease 52 when the first wing 14 is folded over the
penis. The alignment of the inner edges against the opposite crease zes the volume of
the pouch and eliminates excess wing material bunching up or contacting the penis. The
novel shape aligns the edges of the wings to ends of the pouch , creating a perfectly
formed and reliable pouch with no excess material. Second, cut—outs 36, 54 form a more
comfortable opening through which the wearer's penis is secured, reducing chaffing and skin
irritation. By eliminating all excess material, the user can wear the urine trap under regular
clothes as well without large, bulky bulges that can be created by traditional diapers. A taped
border may extend along the wings from the respective creases to ensure that the edges mate
more smoothly and prevent gaps that can cause leakage.
In an alternative embodiment as shown in Figures 14 — 23, the pouch can be
applied and worn in a e . Advantages may be seen in this uration
depending on r the user is prone or ambulatory. The adhesive strip may be secured to
