01 -
Collect Your Sample
Pass urine through PocketStrainer as you go: hold it in your stream above the toilet (sitting is recommended for control), or pass urine through it into a urinal. Alternatively, urinate into a container such as a toilet-seat 'hat' and pour it through the strainer afterward. PocketStrainer also fits directly into the opening of a 24-hour specimen container.
02 -
Filter Urine
Strain your urine through PocketStrainer. The 316 stainless steel mesh captures kidney stones and fragments while urine flows through freely.
03 -
Inspect the Mesh
After straining, check the mesh for any collected stones or stone fragments.
04 -
Transfer Specimen
Transfer any stones or fragments to a specimen cup to provide to your healthcare provider for analysis and treatment guidance.
05
Fits most 24-hour specimen containers
PocketStrainer drops directly into the opening of most standard 24-hour specimen collection jugs, so you can strain hands-free over a full collection period.
