Apparatus and methods for a male catheter. An assembly includes a proximal region including a sheath portion, the sheath portion including a braided section terminating in a proximal region opening adapted to encompass a male penis, a distal region including a connection portion, the connection portion terminating in a distal region opening to enable linking to one or more external devices, and a tube portion linking the proximal region to the distal region.

A urinary receptacle includes an elongate, main body having a closed upper end and lower end; a tubular port connected to the main body and which to receives a user's penis therein in a fluid-tight manner, a urine collection receptacle connectable to the lower end of the main body receives and stores the urine therein; and a fastener secures the main body to the user or a garment worn by the user. The components are formed of flexible, waterproof material and are collapse flat against a user's body when not in use. An end opening of tubular port is flush with the wall of the main body, the port projects into the main body from the end opening, and an elastic material is provided around a circumference of a receiving end of the port which urges the circumference radially inward of the tubular port.

An external female urinary device includes a connecting and urine collecting component (CUCC) and a urine directing and discharging component (UDCC) configured to connect with the CUCC. The CUCC tapers from a larger orifice to a smaller orifice. The CUCC has a ring defining the larger orifice. The ring is made of a material capable of adhering to urethral orifice surrounding skin (UOSS) as well as to the inner facing surfaces of the labia minora and/or the labia majora after the CUCC is pressed against that UOSS. The ring remains adhered to the UOSS without requiring an external force for keeping the ring in contact with that skin.

A device for collecting urine discharged from a body of a user includes a fluid collection assembly having at least one layer for drawing urine discharged from the body into an interior cavity, an external covering that covers a portion of the at least one layer, and at least one fenestration for receiving urine, wherein the fenestration is a portion of the fluid collection assembly that is uncovered by the external covering. The device further includes a cap enclosing a first end of the assembly, a tube having a first end in fluid communication with the cap, and a shape retaining element configured to conform the assembly to a curved configuration and maintain the curved configuration until the configuration is adjusted. The assembly is configured to be disposed against the body of the user, with the at least one fenestration in operative relation with a urethral opening of the user.

Condom catheters and condom catheter systems containing a condom catheter are disclosed. The condom catheter systems utilize suction to attach a condom catheter to a patient's penis. Methods of making and using condom catheters are also disclosed.

The present invention relates to a body-worn drainage bag storage device that is primarily comprised of a body that receives a drainage bag, wherein the body is further comprised of a front surface, a rear surface, and at least one loop that receives at least one band. A body-worn drainage bag can be placed within an interior space of the body, wherein the bag can then be secured within the body by at least one fastener on the front surface and rear surface of the body. The body is further comprised of at least one loop that receives at least one band. The band is preferably an elastic band that can be worn around the upper body and/or waist of the user.

A urine capturing system for capturing leaked urine from a penis includes an article of clothing that may be worn thereby facilitating the article of clothing to cover genitals. A sheath is provided and the sheath may be selectively worn on a penis. The sheath is comprised of a fluid impermeable material. The sheath inhibits urine leaking outwardly of the penis from contacting the article of clothing. Thus, the sheath inhibits the article of clothing from becoming visibly wet from the leaked urine.

A urine removal device includes a plurality of layers suitable to capture and transfer urine. A conduit system is disposed inside of the device and extends from the proximal portion of the device, where it interfaces via an outlet conduit member, to the distal end of the device where it draws in urine from the device. The device allows air flow through the device to support suction that is applied. The fluid layer system has at least one conduit configured to draw urine from the distal portion of the device up to the proximal end of the device, and into the outlet conduit where it exits the urine removal device.

The present invention relates to an external urinary incontinence treatment a device and a method of deploying an external urinary incontinence treatment device that minimizes the inconvenience of fastening and fixating a urine receiving component to the genital region and to the skin surrounding the urethral orifice of a treated patient. The device comprises: a urine receiving component, a tube, a receiving component supporting element, a tube locking system, a genital region connection component, and a genital region anchoring element. The tube connects and communicates freely with the urine receiving component and is inserted through the receiving component supporting element. The tube also communicates with said tube locking system and is able to move vertically the receiving component supporting element when said tube locking system is deactivated. The tube is fixated in its movement at a desired position along the length of said tube when said tube locking system is activated. The device receiving component supporting element is connected to the genital region connection component and with the tube locking system. The genital region connection component is connected to the genital region anchoring element. In deployment of the device, the genital region anchoring element is reversibly connected to the skin of the genital region of the treated patient, and urine receiving-component is connected to the skin surrounding the urethral orifice of the treated patient when the tube is moved towards the genital region of the patient. The tube is reversibly fixated in place by the tube locking system after urine receiving component is adjusted and fastened to the skin surrounding the urethral orifice of the patient in a urine leak free connection while applying the minimal required pressure, thus, causing the treated patient minimal inconvenience. The tube lucking system can be easily deactivated and reactivated to adjust the connection of the receiving component to the skin surrounding the urethral orifice in accordance to changing body postures of the patient.

An adapter insert is for the purpose of reinforcing or stiffening a flexible adapter for said guard system to provide greater support and stabilization in the peristomal region in an effort to help reduce herniation, and to help aid adhesion of a faceplate when worn short term without a guard when output is expected to be minimal, for instance, between meals. The conjoined insert and adapter are positioned between a faceplate and a pouch, their inner apertures surrounding the faceplate flanges or heat weld of an ostomy appliance, and worn under form-fitted clothing negating the need for a security strap.
