ABSTRACT:
An intra-labia urinary collection device for obtaining a "clean-catch" urine specimen. The device is a hollow, oval body of rigid plastic having an upper wall with a front recess and oval opening positionable for receiving uncontaminated urine from the urethral opening. The upper wall further includes opposing side and rear recesses which meet at a raised central plateau to form a closed projection which fits in the vaginal opening. The rear recess engages the vestibular tissue rearwardly of the vaginal opening to seal the device in position and prevent contamination of the urine specimen by bacteria, cells or fluids from the vagina or anus. An enlarged hollow chamber is formed by vertical sidewalls at the widest section of the body which allows the device to handle a high rate of urine flow without leakage.
