ABSTRACT:
A reclosable urine collection and specimen container having an oval shape and a configuration for increased patient comfort and convenience including a rim around an opening forming the top thereof having concave surfaces formed therein for conforming to the contour of the external genitalia of a female patient from whom a urine specimen is to be collected. Also provided is a lid having an oval shape for closing the specimen container having a thickened portion with a cavity formed therein for interacting with an outward flare formed in the rim of the container to securely retain the lid thereto. The lid is formed in a curved configuration and the pitch of the flare in the rim of the cup is less at one end of the oval than at the other end of the cup, while the angle of the cavity in the lid which receives the flare therein when applied to the cup is the same at both ends of the lid.
