A human urinary aid is described. Simple coatings or modifications are described which provide an additional use to conventional toilet paper as a disposable male urinary aid to allow the transport of a urine stream into a toilet, such as by a human male urinating from a standing position, by consolidating the urine stream onto a conductive path directed into a toilet bowl or other receptacle. A method of making the aid and a method of using the aid are described.

Abstract:
A radiopharmaceutical kit for complexing a liver-specific agent labeled with technetium-99m comprising (1) a biologically sterile aqueous medium wherein the complex formation occurs, (2) a complexing agent which is a lipophilic mercaptan or thioketal and (3) a pharmaceutically acceptable reducing agent for technetium-99m.

US Classification:
424 1
Abstract:
Novel chemical complexes containing a radioactive technetium isotope are kidney specific when the complexing agents are certain ionic, water-soluble mercaptans. The complexes can be made by reducing pertechnetate ion and reacting the reduced technetium species with the mercaptan. The complexes are normally used in a biologically sterile, substantially isotonic aqueous medium, for diagnostic purposes.
