Embodiments disclosed herein are fluid collection assemblies including one or more securement elements and methods for collecting fluids with the fluid collection assemblies. In an embodiment, a fluid collection assembly includes a fluid collection device and means for securing the fluid collection device to the user with a fluid permeable body of the fluid collection device positioned proximate to the urethra of the user through the opening in a fluid impermeable barrier of the fluid collection device.

A urine collection device suitable for female or male use. The device may be configured to the wearer and has an open cavity with one or more one way valves through which urine may flow into an enclosed cavity. The enclosed cavity comprises a valve through which collected urine may be expelled so that the device may be reused if desired.

According to some embodiments of the invention, an anchoring system includes a sleeve having an inner surface defining a first lumen, a first annular sealing mechanism disposed at a proximal end of the sleeve, and a second annular sealing mechanism disposed at a distal end of the sleeve. The anchoring system further includes a pressure tube in fluid connection with an outer surface of the sleeve, a sheath in mechanical connection with the sleeve, the sheath forming a second lumen, the second lumen being in fluid connection with the first lumen, and open-cell foam disposed on the outer surface of the sleeve. Application of negative pressure to the pressure tube causes a seal to form between the first and second annular sealing mechanisms and an inner surface of a tissue cavity. Application of negative pressure to the pressure tube also creates a frictional force that resists displacement of the sleeve.

Disclosed herein are embodiments of an external catheter that may be made of soft and flexible medical-grade silicone (or other suitable) material. The catheter is designed to be gentle on the skin and easy to use for men who need a non-invasive option for managing urinary incontinence. The silicone material used may be hypoallergenic, latex-free, and not contain any phthalates or BPA. Moreover, it may be securely attached to a person without requiring any shaving of the affected area. This provides for an easy attachment and for quick removal.

A urine removal device includes a pouch with a proximal opening that provides access to an internal compartment of the pouch that is suitable to contain urine. A fluid diverter system is disposed inside of the pouch and extends from the proximal portion of the pouch, where it interfaces via an outlet conduit member to the environment outside of the pouch, to the distal end of the pouch where it draws in urine from the pouch. The pouch has at least one air port to allow air flow through the device to support suction that is applied inside of the pouch. The fluid diverter system has at least one conduit member configured to draw urine from the distal portion of the pouch up to the proximal end of the pouch, and into the outlet conduit member where it exits the fluid collection device.

The present disclosure is for the patients who are not capable of going to the bathroom and not able to urinate physically, and being confined to bed; it relates to a waste disposal unit as functional underpants enabling the disposal of solid-liquid wastes of said patients in an autoregulatory manner, providing a full-hygienic cleaning for the person by means of adhering and contacting methods, and separately designed for males and females.

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.

An attachment device for securing a medical device to a user includes a supportive strap portion and an adhesive body. The supportive strap portion includes a first strap end and a second strap end opposite to the first strap end. The first strap end includes a first fastener providing a first fastening point, and the second strap end includes a second fastener providing a second fastening point. The supportive strap portion is elastic and has an unstretched length between the first and second fastening points of the first and second strap ends. The adhesive body is secured to the second strap end using the second fastener. The first strap end is connected to the medical device using the first fastener.

Examples relate to apparatuses, devices, systems, and methods for collecting bodily waste and bodily fluid using a sacral pad as an attachment point. The bodily waste collection apparatus includes a sacral pad and a bodily waste collection device attached to a lower portion of the sacral pad. The bodily waste collection device includes a fluid impermeable casing defining an interior region therein, a permeable material at least partially disposed in the interior region, and a conduit disposed within the bodily waste collection device. The sacral pad secures to the wearer and the bodily waste collection devices is at least partially maintained in a position to receive bodily waste from a wearer by the sacral pad.

Examples relate to fluid collection devices, and related systems and methods. In some embodiments, a fluid collection device includes a fluid impermeable barrier and a fluid permeable body. The fluid impermeable barrier may include a first end region, a second end region, a front side, and a back side. The fluid impermeable barrier defines an opening on the front side, one or more apertures on the back side distal to the opening and positioned between the first end region and the second end region, and a chamber within the fluid collection device. At least one of the first end region or the second end region may be substantially planar. The fluid permeable body is positioned within the chamber and extends across at least a portion of the opening.
