Fluid collection assemblies (100, 200, 300a, 300b, 400a, 400b, 500, 600) including a sample port (112, 212, 312, 412a, 412b, 512), systems (146a) including the same, and methods of using the same are disclosed herein. An example fluid collection assembly (100) includes a fluid impermeable barrier (102) including a first end region (104), a second end region (106) opposite the first end region, and a sump (108) that forms at least a portion of the first end region. The fluid impermeable barrier also defines at least one opening (114) between the first end region and the second end region and a fluid reservoir that is defined by at least a portion of the sump. The fluid collection assembly also includes at least one wicking material (138) disposed in the chamber (116) and a sample port (112) extending from the sump. The sample port is configured to be connected to a fluid collector (144a). The sample port is in fluid communication with the fluid reservoir (110) such that a sample of the bodily fluids received by the fluid collection assembly may be obtained.

Disclosed herein is a bladder collection system. Particularly, a bladder collection system for females is disclosed. The system is designed to be flexible and useful in upright or mobile situations. The bladder relief system includes a collection interface sized and configured for seated or standing application, a sleeve, defining a collection opening, and sidewalls defining a collection cavity, an interface tubing, extending from one end of the sleeve to another, between a collection end of the interface tubing, and an exit port for connection to an exit hose; and an adsorbing material contained within the collection cavity.

A skin-safe effluent containment system that may be used to contain fluid leakage from openings in the body of a patient and will adhere to skin in any condition: healthy or injured, wet or dry, smooth, scarred, or uneven. Fluid leakage can occur from natural orifices such as the anus and vagina, spontaneously formed enteric fistulas, rectovaginal fistulas, and surgical openings such as ileostomy and colostomy stomas. The system includes a vacuum-adherent pouch device, comprised of a pouch connected to a porous foam ring which has an air-permeable contact layer on its bottom surface and an air seal on its top surface. The inner and outer perimeters of the foam ring are enclosed and sealed with skin-adhesive materials. When placed on the patient, negative pressure (vacuum) is applied to the foam ring so that the foam collapses and compresses the vacuum-adherent pouch device down against the patient's skin. Negative pressure in combination with the adhesive materials on the perimeters of the foam ring forms a fluid barrier around the opening in the body of the patient so that leakage can be directed into the pouch and drawn away to a separate effluent container.

Provided is an automatic excretion disposal device (1) which is configured to automatically perform an excretion disposal of a person (P) to be cared, the device including: a cup (2) which is attached to a body of the person to be cared to receive excretion; a detection unit (3) which is configured to detect excretion in the cup; a feed water pipe which is configured to decompress cleaning water from a water supply (W) to a predetermined pressure and directly supplies the cleaning water, on the basis of detection result of the detection unit; a suction motor (30) which is configured to suck sewage generated when the body and inside of the cup are cleaned with the cleaning water supplied from the feed water pipe (R1), and to discharge the sewage to outside of the cup; a tank (10) which is configured to temporarily store the drainage sucked by the suction motor; and a drainage pump (20) which is configured to cause the drainage to forcibly flow out to a drainage piping connected to a sewer or a septic tank, while pulverizing solid matters contained in drainage in which the sewage stored in the tank is mixed with the cleaning water directly supplied from the feed water pipe.

The present invention discloses a wearable waste removal and cleansing apparatus, comprising a wearable part, a receptacle part detachably connected to the wearable part, and a control assembly connected to the receptacle part for automatic flushing. The wearable part includes a sliding sleeve and wearable pants connected to the sliding sleeve. An engaging mechanism is disposed between the sliding sleeve and the receptacle part. The wearable waste removal and cleansing apparatus of the present invention is simple in structure, convenient to operate, and sanitary and intelligent, and therefore is suitable for popularization and application.

A fluid collection system may include a fluid collection device, a tube, a fluid collection container configured to receive fluid from the fluid collection device, and a vacuum source configured to pull an at least partial vacuum to draw the fluid from the fluid collection device through the tube into the fluid collection container. The fluid collection device may include a fluid impermeable barrier including an outer surface and an inner surface, the fluid impermeable barrier defining a chamber, at least one opening, and a fluid outlet. The fluid collection device may include a porous material disposed in the chamber and an external support coupled to the outer surface of the fluid impermeable barrier. The fluid impermeable barrier exhibits a first shape prior to shaping the external support and a second shape after shaping the external support with the first shape being different from the second shape.
