  • Patent number: 4106490
    Abstract: A device is described to enable the direct hygienic collection of a urine sample in a specimen tube. The collection aid is formed with a hollow body. A main opening of the hollow body is oriented to receive a female or male voiding stream which is confined in a chamber having specimen and excess urine outlet ports. The specimen outlet is shaped to releasably retain a specimen container such as a centrifuge tube while the excess urine outlet is effectively sized and selectively spaced from the specimen outlet to assure sufficient flow through the specimen outlet for a sample while enabling the remainder to be drained away. In one embodiment the hollow body is formed of relatively rotatable segments shaped to enable the hollow body to be adapted to be used for both male or females. Several embodiments are described.
