Devices for insertion into a stoma formed in a patient's body are provided, comprising a tube having distal and proximal ends and defining a path for movement of waste. To retain the device in the stoma and seal the stoma, the tube includes a retention mechanism located on the distal end and/or a sealing mechanism extending along a length of the tube between the proximal and distal ends. Collection apparatus for collecting waste from a patient's body also are provided, comprising a waste pouch and a connector for connecting the collection apparatus to a device inserted into a stoma. Additionally, waste collection systems for collecting waste from a patient's body are provided, comprising a tube for insertion into a stoma and a waste pouch. Each system may comprise a separate tube and waste pouch or the tube and waste pouch may be formed as an integral, inseparable component.

An external catheter assembly for facilitating non-invasive catheterization includes a male catheter that is wrappable around a penis to capture urine from the penis. A first tube is fluidly coupled to the male catheter to receive the urine from the penis. A first collection bag is fluidly coupled to the first tube to capture the urine from the penis. A female catheter is positionable within the labia minora of a female patient to capture urine from the female patient. A second tube is fluidly coupled to the female catheter to receive the urine from the female patient. A second collection bag is fluidly coupled to the second tube to capture the urine from the female patient.

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 a bag for capturing bodily fluids. The bag comprises a body, wherein the body is a resealable body having a resealing means configured at one edge thereof, the resealing means include a press fit seal; a capturing means coupled to the body for capturing the bodily fluid and allow the bodily fluid to be collected within the body, wherein the capturing means is a catheter, and the bodily fluid that the catheter captures is urine; an absorbing means disposed within the body to receive the bodily fluid and convert the bodily fluid into a gel, thereby preventing the leakage out of the body, wherein the absorbing means is an absorbent pad, and the absorbent pad is made of super absorbent polymers; and a strap means for making the bag wearable on the human body.

A stoma cover includes a hood and an adjustment band. The hood extends between a proximal end and a closed distal end. The adjustment band is connected to the proximal end. The adjustment band allows the hood to adjust between a first open size at the proximal end that is sized for placement over the stoma and a second size that is smaller than the first open size. The second size is adapted to secure the hood relative to a root portion of the stoma. A moisture absorbing material is disposed inside of the hood, where the moisture absorbing material is provided to absorb stomal output exuding from a meatus of the stoma.

A body support wrap adapted to encompass a body article of a user while elastically encompassing and supporting a fluid communication element, the body support wrap includes first and second flexible elastomeric surrounding sidewalls that are adjacent to one another and offset on an upper end forming a mouth opening and the first and second sidewalls are evenly displaced on a lower end forming a closed attachment, wherein an interior pocket is formed therebetween the first and second sidewalls that the fluid communication element is disposed through the mouth opening, wherein operationally via the first and second sidewalls elasticity the fluid communication element is held anyplace within the interior pocket in multiple positions adjacent to the user for the convenience and comfort of the user.

Pants (diaper) for urine or feces capable of disposing of urine or feces several times in a sanitary condition are disclosed. The pants for urine/feces comprises a pants member configured to have an internal space, a space division member connected to the pants in the internal space, thereby dividing the internal space into a first space and a second space and an expansion section disposed in the second space. Here, a hip of a user or the hip and a thigh locate in the first space, the hip or the hip and the thigh are lifted when the expansion section is expanded in the second space to form a space for urine/feces where the urine/feces is collected.

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.

Example fluid collection systems and methods of collecting fluid are described. The fluid collection system includes a fluid collection device and one or more straps secured or securable to the fluid collection device. The one or more straps are configured to wrap around the user to secure the fluid collection device adjacent to the urethra of the user.

Disclosed embodiments relate to a collection device for bodily fluids comprising a tubular material with a first end and second end. A portion of the first end is configured to be secured to a user and the tubular material may be folded over itself to form a first sheath and a second sheath. In some applications, the fluid collection devices described may be secured to a user using interlocking loops.
