Convenient Urine Bag

Convenient Urine Bag

Convenient Urine Bag is an innovative medical device designed to enhance the quality of life for patients requiring continuous urinary drainage, representing a significant advancement in medical equipment design. This sophisticated solution, which earned recognition with an Iron A' Design Award in the Medical Devices and Medical Equipment Design category, addresses both physical and psychological challenges faced by users of traditional urine collection systems. The design features a unique three-unit interconnected bag system with a total capacity of 1000ml, incorporating advanced SAP (Super Absorbent Polymer) technology that rapidly solidifies collected urine, effectively minimizing odors and reducing liquid movement during patient mobility. The system's revolutionary detachable unit bag design enables discrete management and replacement, significantly reducing the psychological burden often associated with traditional urine collection devices. Constructed using medical-grade silica gel, SBR cloth, and medical-grade plastic materials, the device measures 245x270x145mm and features a specialized button valve system that controls flow between units. The design demonstrates particular attention to user comfort through its reusable leg wrapping system and straightforward operation protocol, allowing patients to manage their condition with greater dignity and independence. The development process, completed between July 2020 and January 2021, involved extensive research into fluid dynamics, valve structure optimization, and precise calculations for optimal bag volume and polymer ratios. This medical innovation exemplifies the intersection of functional design and emotional consideration, offering a more dignified solution for patients while maintaining high standards of medical safety and efficacy.
