Specialized Collection
Urine PCR Collection for Incontinent Patients
At Lab Ladies, we understand that obtaining a clean urine specimen can be challenging for patients with urinary incontinence, limited mobility, dementia or other medical conditions.
How diaper swab PCR collection works
When appropriate and in accordance with the performing laboratory’s collection protocols, we can collect specimens using diaper swab collection for select molecular PCR urine tests. This innovative collection method may help avoid the discomfort and inconvenience associated with obtaining a traditional urine sample in certain patients.
Our experienced nursing team follows laboratory-approved collection procedures to help ensure specimen integrity and accurate testing.
Who this option may benefit
- Residents of Assisted Living Facilities (ALFs)
- Memory Care residents
- Skilled Nursing Facility residents
- Bedbound patients
- Patients with urinary incontinence
- Patients unable to provide a clean-catch urine specimen
Helping physicians care for their most challenging patients
Obtaining urine specimens from incontinent patients can often delay diagnosis and treatment. Lab Ladies offers collection solutions designed to improve access to advanced molecular PCR testing for patients who cannot provide a clean-catch urine specimen.
Our experienced nurses work closely with healthcare providers and facility staff to determine the most appropriate collection method based on the patient’s condition and the laboratory’s testing requirements.
Why this matters
Patients with recurrent urinary tract infections, dementia, limited mobility or urinary incontinence are often the very patients who benefit from advanced PCR diagnostics — but they can also be the most difficult to collect specimens from.
Our specialized collection techniques help make advanced molecular testing more accessible while maintaining patient dignity, comfort and convenience.
Clinical expertise you can trust
Our experienced Registered Nurses and experienced Laboratory Supervisor are knowledgeable in specimen collection requirements for advanced molecular diagnostics, helping ensure that specimens are collected, handled and transported according to laboratory guidelines.
