Definitions
- This disclosure is generally directed to medical tubing and, more specifically, to multi- layered tubing having odor barrier properties suitable for use as catheter tubing for fecal drainage systems, and a combination odor barrier tube and odor barrier collection bag.
- Catheter tubes for fecal drainage systems are designed to facilitate flow of fecal matter, with the fecal matter typically draining into a collection bag.
- a catheter tube can include a lubricious coating on an interior to facilitate movement of fecal matter. While various materials have been used to form the walls of a catheter tube, no catheter tubes for fecal drainage systems are known that include integral odor barrier properties.
- One reason for the lack of catheter tubes having odor barrier properties is that odor barrier materials are understood to be too stiff and not suitable for catheter tubing applications.
- the catheter tube can reduce or eliminate exposure of the patient, caregivers, and other persons in the vicinity of the patient to unpleasant odors.
- Fecal drainage systems are frequently employed in combination with enema, lavage, or other irrigation techniques to loosen stool in the rectum of a patient. As a result, water or other liquid is likely to travel through the catheter tube with fecal matter.
- the catheter tubing for a fecal drainage system is made of at least two layers of different materials.
- the layers are preferably co-extruded, or one layer may be extruded and one or more subsequent layers may subsequently be applied by extrusion over the first layer, but alternately, the layers may be formed as a generally flat laminate sheet that is rolled into a tubular shape, then sealed along a seam, for example using sealing technology, such as heat sealing or RF sealing, using adhesive sealing, or ultrasonic welding.
- sealing technology such as heat sealing or RF sealing
- the multi-layer odor barrier catheter tube of the present disclosure can be manufactured with a total wall thickness in the range of about 10 mil to about 60 mil.
- the odor barrier layer may be a resin, preferably a polyamide, and most preferably nylon
- the odor barrier layer may include an additive in the form of a modifier for reduced modulus, preferably ethylene-ethylacrylate-maleic anhydride terpolymer (commercially available as Lotader® 4720, from Arkema, Inc. of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania).
- the odor barrier layer is preferably the outermost layer, or outer skin, of the catheter tube.
- the odor barrier layer of the catheter tube preferably has a thickness of 3 mil or less, and the thickness of the odor barrier is preferably less than 30% of the total tube wall thickness.
- the odor barrier layer preferably has a kinetic coefficient of friction less than 0.5.
- a second layer of the catheter tube may be a resin or resin blend, preferably having a modulus of elasticity less than 100,000 psi (2% secant) when measured according to ASTM [0010]
- a third layer forming the innermost layer or inner skin of the catheter tube may also be employed.
- the third or innermost layer preferably has a low kinetic coefficient of friction, preferably less than 0.5.
- the low kinetic coefficient of friction may be an inherent property of a dry material of which the third layer is formed. Lubricity is a beneficial feature of the innermost layer of the catheter tube to promote or facilitate flow of fecal matter through the catheter tube.
- the inner layer of the multi-layer odor barrier tube of the present disclosure may be made of a copolymer of ethylene, preferably an ethylene vinylacetate copolymer (EVA) with an added slip agent concentrate, such as 10090 Slip PE MB, having a concentration of 5% Erucamide, available from Ampacet of Tarrytown, New York, to lower the coefficient of friction.
- EVA ethylene vinylacetate copolymer
- the slip agent concentrate is only about 2% of the overall composition of the innermost layer of the catheter tube, so the effective concentration of the Erucamide is about 0.1%.
- a hydrophilic polymer that becomes lubricious in contact with water preferably polyethyleneoxide or polyvinylalcohol, may be used as the inner layer of the multi-layer odor barrier catheter tube.
- a hydrophilic polymer that becomes lubricious in contact with water preferably polyethyleneoxide or polyvinylalcohol.
- the collection bag into which the catheter tube drains lacks odor barrier properties, unpleasant odors can escape the collection bag, thereby negating the odor barrier benefits achieved by the odor barrier catheter tube. It is therefore desirable for the odor barrier tube to drain into a collection bag that itself has odor barrier walls.
- FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a first embodiment of a multi-layer odor barrier catheter tube of the present disclosure
- FIG. 2 is an axial cross- sectional view, taken along lines 2-2 of FIG. 1;
- FIG. 3 is an axial cross- sectional view, similar to FIG. 2, of a second embodiment of a multi-layer odor barrier catheter tube of the present disclosure, wherein tie layers are provided between the first and second layers, and between the third and fourth layers;

- FIG. 6 is a perspective view of a heat-laminated film similar to that of FIG. 4, and including a flexible scrim layer;
- FIG. 7 is a perspective view of the heat-laminated film of FIG. 6, rolled into a cylindrical shape and sealed along a seam;
- FIG. 8 is a front view of a combination of a multi-layer odor barrier catheter tube of the present disclosure in combination with a drainable collection bag having odor barrier walls;
- FIG. 9 is a front perspective view of a combination of a multi-layer odor barrier catheter tube of the present disclosure in combination with a closed, single-use collection bag having odor barrier walls;
- FIG. 10 is a front perspective view of a multi-layer odor barrier catheter tube of the present disclosure having only two layers.

- a waste collection bag or to a disposal receptacle e.g., a bedpan or toilet (not shown)
- At least one of the layers of the multi-layer catheter tube 10 is constructed of materials resistant to transmission of fecal and flatus gasses.
- a first layer 12 of the catheter tube 10 defines the external surface 14 of the catheter tube 10.
- the first layer 12 is preferably comprised of one or more materials that possess a relatively low coefficient of friction, most preferably less than 0.5, so as to reduce drag of the catheter tube 10 against a patient's skin, and against items surrounding the patient, including a hospital gown, bed sheets, chair or other objects in the patient's immediate vicinity.
- the low coefficient of friction of the external surface 14 of the catheter tube 10 also facilitates "milking" the fecal matter down the length of the catheter tube 10.
- the material or materials defining the first layer 12 of the catheter tube 10 include an odor barrier resin. In other embodiments within the scope of the present disclosure, the odor barrier resin may be employed as a layer of the catheter tube 10 other than the first layer 12 defining the outside surface 14.
- a suitable material for the first layer 12 of the catheter tube 10 of the present disclosure is a polyamide, most preferably nylon 666.
- a modifier may be added to achieve a reduced modulus, preferably ethylene-ethylacrylate-maleic anhydride terpolymer, commercially available as Lotader® 4720 from Arkema, Inc.
- the external surface 14 of the first layer 12 is preferably a surface that will receive inks such as permanent or semi-permanent markers, and retain such markings thereon without smudging or wiping off, to facilitate receiving instructions, patient data, collection bag change data, dates of indwell or intended removal of the catheter tube, and the like.
- An intermediate layer 16 of the multi-layer catheter tube 10 preferably comprises a resin or resin blend having a modulus of elasticity less than 100,000 psi (2% secant) when measured according to ASTM D882.
- the resin used as the material forming the intermediate layer 16 is preferably a thermoplastic elastomer, most preferably polyurethane or a polyurethane blended with another thermoplastic elastomer, having a preferred modulus less than 40,000 psi (2% secant).
- more than one layer of material may be provided intermediate the first layer 12 defining the external surface 14 of the catheter tube 10 and a third layer 18 defining an internal surface 20 of the catheter tube 10. If only a first layer 12 and a low modulus layer are provided, the layer referenced herein as the intermediate layer 16 may instead be the inner-most layer of the catheter tube 10, as shown in FIG. 10.
- a tie layer 22 such as a Bynel® tie material available from DuPont, may be employed between adjacent layers to improve adhesion of the adjacent layers to one another.
- Another layer 18 of the multi-layer catheter tube 10, defining the internal surface 20 of the catheter tube 10, is preferably made of one or more materials that possess a relatively low coefficient of friction, preferably less than 0.5, to allow stool and bowel discharge to flow easily along the internal length of the catheter tube 10 for collection and/or disposal.
- a suitable material for the layer 18 is a copolymer of ethylene, most preferably an ethylene - vinylacetate copolymer (EVA) with an added slip agent (such as 10090 Slip PE MB, having a concentration of 5% Erucamide, available from Ampacet of Tarrytown, New York), wax, PTFE, or other friction-reducing additive to achieve a low coefficient of friction.
- EVA ethylene - vinylacetate copolymer

- a hydrophilic polymer that becomes lubricious in contact with water preferably polyethyleneoxide or polyvinylalcohol
- the layer 18 may itself be formed entirely of a hydrophilic polymer, and anchored directly to intermediate layer 16, provided that there is adequate adhesion between the hydrophilic layer 18 and the intermediate layer 16.
- the multi-layer catheter tube 10 of the first embodiment of the present disclosure may be manufactured by co-extrusion.
- the odor barrier layer of the catheter tube 10 In order to maximize tube softness and flexibility, it is desirable for the odor barrier layer of the catheter tube 10 to be thin, preferably in a range of less than about 2 to about 3 microns. However, it is not possible with conventional co-extrusion processes to co-extrude a sufficient length of catheter tubing having such a thin odor barrier layer.
- the layers of the catheter tube 10 may be formed into a flat or substantially flat heat-laminated film 24, having two parallel edges 26, 28 that are rolled toward one another, brought into register with one another, and sealed to one another, such as by heat sealing, RF sealing, adhesive sealing, or ultrasonic welding, to form a cylinder, with the first layer 12 of the film 24 defining an external surface 14 of the cylinder and the third layer 18 defining an internal surface 20 of the cylinder.
- a leading end 30 and a trailing end 32 of the heat-laminated film 24 are left open, forming first and second ends 34, 36 of the catheter tube 10.
- tie layers represented by broken lines in FIG.
- the first, second and third layers 12, 16, 18 of the catheter tube 10 are preferably clear or translucent.
- the sealed edge or seam 38 may be visible, and can advantageously provide a medical caregiver with a visible indicator of any kinking or twisting of the catheter tube.
- the total cumulative wall thickness of the multi-layer catheter tube 10 is preferably in the range of about 10 mil to about 40 mil. and more preferably in a range of about 25 mil to about 35 mil, with the thickness of the odor barrier layer (e.g., the first layer 12) making up less than about
- Adjustments may be made to process conditions under which the layers of the multi-layer catheter tube of the present disclosure are co-extruded or heat laminated to reduce the coefficient of friction of one or more of the layers.
- a mesh or flexible scrim layer 42 may be included as an additional layer intermediate the first layer 12 and third layer 18 of the multi-layer catheter tube
- the scrim layer 42 also provides the catheter tube 40 with shape memory, permitting the catheter tube 40 to collapse and recover to its cylindrical shape without any permanent deformation.
- Materials other than a scrim layer 42 may be utilized instead of or in addition to the scrim layer 42 to enhance structural integrity of the catheter tube 40, such as polymeric materials.
- the material(s) forming the internal and/or external surfaces of the multi-layer catheter tube of the present disclosure preferably facilitate attachment and assembly of the catheter tube to peripheral components of fecal drainage and management systems, such as the Bowel
- each of the walls of the collection bag may include a barrier layer film such as the one disclosed in U.S. Patent No. 7,270,860.
- the odor barrier collection bag may be a drainable collection bag 44, having a drainage tube 46 with a drainage tube stopper 48 and a cap 50 for capping a catheter tube connection port 52, as shown in FIG. 8.
- the odor barrier collection bag may be a so-called "closed" collection bag 54, as illustrated in FIG. 9.
- a closed collection bag 54 is intended for single use, and preferably includes an integral vent 56 with a deodorizing filter 58.
