Urindränkt

Urindränkt is a Swedish adjective describing something that has been saturated with urine. The term is most often used in contexts such as material contamination, hygiene assessments, medical or forensic descriptions, and in discussions of care settings.

The word is a compound of urin (urine) and dränkt (drenched, past participle of dränka). In Swedish, compounds of this form often attach to nouns to indicate saturation.

In textiles, garments or bedding can be described as urindränkt after exposure to urine, requiring cleaning or disposal. In healthcare and caregiving, it may be used to document sanitation needs or contamination levels in environmental cleaning protocols. In forensic or veterinary contexts, it can describe sample or environment contamination.

Standard hygienic practices apply: wear gloves, clean with enzymatic cleaners to break down urea, rinse, launder at appropriate temperatures; dispose of heavily contaminated items.

The term is primarily used in Swedish-language contexts; in other languages, direct translations such as “urine-saturated” or “urine-soaked” are used.
