ABSTRACT:
A midstream urine collection device (10, 110) includes a urine receiving cup (12) into which a sample of urine is deposited. A barrel (28) is attached to the receiving cup (12) and has a receiving bore (44) therein. A needle assembly (23) is mounted in the barrel (28) in flow communication with the inside of the receiving cup (12). An evacuated container (46) is adapted to be inserted into the receiving bore (44) of the barrel (28) so that a cannula (24) of the needle assembly (23) pierces a plug (50) on the container (46), whereby urine is drawn from the cup (12) into the evacuated container (46). The needle assembly may have a valve (25) closing off the flow through the needle cannula. The valve may be a valve sleeve (26) which also shrouds the end of the needle cannula. The collection device (10, 110) also includes a pair of opposed arms (16a, 16 b) and a flat portion (38) on a shield (36, 136) carried by the barrel (28), which cooperate to maintain the device (10, 110) in a stable upright position on a supporting surface.
