DEVICE FOR COLLECTING, TRANSPORTING AND FILTERING FAECAL PARASITES

摘要

The invention relates to a device for collecting, transporting and filtering faecal parasites, which is provided such that patients or users can directly collect their own faeces and transport said faeces to the laboratory where the sediment obtained from filtering undergoes the relevant filtering and analysis process, characterised in that said device consists of a collection tube (1), with two mutually separated filters (2) contained therein, said tube being complemented with a lid (3), provided with a spoon (4) for sampling the faeces. The invention is also characterised in that a second tube (5) can be coupled at the end of the first tube, after the filters, the second tube receiving the filtered samples directly and undergoing a centrifugation step in order to obtain the sediment to be analysed.
