A Cleaner, Better Way to go!
Bringing you a mess-free, easier way to leave a urine sample. eco•pí® is designed to assist patients who are leaving a urine specimen for any reason.
It's as easy as 1, 2, pee...
A cup is placed in the center of the funnel and the funnel is placed under the patient. As the patient empties their bladder the tray directs all of the urine into the cup. Then the cup can easily be removed and the paper funnel can be thrown away.
Why Paper?
When designing ecopi, people would ask me, Why paper? And I always answered with, Why NOT paper? With 6 million tons of single-use plastics being thrown out every year, and hospitals being a large contributor to that number, why wouldn’t we use paper? While there is a place for plastic in hospitals, Dr’s offices, labs, etc, there is a huge opportunity to move into an area of paper.
Ecopi is a sustainable solution for plastic replacement and using a renewable resource, yet strong enough to hold full cups of liquid. Because it can be thrown away after use, it also cuts down on wasted water and energy for washing and sanitizing. I believe now is the time to look closer at the medical field and replace plastic with paper where we can – and it is starting with urine specimen samples. Patent pending.
Millions of wasted samples... and counting
The world’s leading health care diagnostics company estimates that millions of urine specimen are unusable upon arrival due to lack of urine or volume of urine. eco•pí® is the solution!
Who is it for?
I originally designed this for women – specifically in the OBGYN offices – pregnant women, elderly etc. but as I started paying closer attention I realized this was for all types of patients and it is needed in all areas. (Pediatricians, retirement homes, labs, etc.)

Pregnant Patient Read More
"Being 9 months pregnant and giving a urine sample is one of the most awkward, frustrating things to do. Several times during my pregnancy I had to try MULTIPLE times to collect a successful sample because my pregnant belly made it impossible to see what I was aiming for. I was given an ecopi to use and it was nothing short of amazing! It was so easy to use and I was able to give a successful sample on the first try without any sort of mess. I am a believer!"
