ABSTRACT:
A collection device for enabling the patient to self-collect substances from the body, such as fluids, secretions, cells, and infectious and non-infectious agents, takes the form in the case of substances from the genital, anal or urinary regions of a sanitary napkin used in a conventional manner in an undergarment and which comprises a porous outer sleeve open ended at one longitudinal end thereof and including upper and lower sheets. An outer surface of the lower sheet is provided with an impermeable sheet coated with an adhesive covered, before use of the sanitary napkin, with a removable protective peel-off strip. The sanitary napkin also comprises between the upper and lower sheet an absorbent layer and a removable sampling strip or filter, the latter being slidably received in the outer sleeve and extending between the upper sheet and the absorbent layer and protruding from the open end of the sleeve for removal from the sanitary napkin once bodily substances have collected thereon. The sampling strip is then typically sealingly packaged and stored until its analysis. The sampling strip can also be made more or less integral with the sanitary napkin such that the complete napkin is forwarded by the end user to the laboratory. The present invention is also concerned with methods that allow the patient to self-collect bodily substances for subsequent analysis thereof.
