ABSTRACT:
A device for collecting a urine specimen, which is particularly adapted for females, is configured and adapted for use while the user is sitting on a toilet in the normal position for voiding. The device comprises a collector and a specimen container, preferably integrally assembled together. In use the device selectively collects the clean, contaminant-free mid-stream portion of urine in the container. The urine specimen container is releasably secured to the collector at a bleed-off conduit extending from a collection exit in a urine receiving chamber of the collector. This exit is positioned in the chamber above a urine bleed-off exit in the conduit adapted for receiving and discarding the first-voided portion of urine at a controlled rate. Means are provided for directing into the toilet all of the voided urine in excess of that which is retained in the specimen container, including the discarded first-voided portion. A suitable handle extends radially outward from the collector to facilitate holding the device in the preferred attitude for use. In one embodiment, a flow director is included to deflect the first-voided portion from entering the specimen container.
