Example fluid collection devices and methods of using the fluid collection devices are described. The fluid collection devices include a fluid impermeable barrier, an enlarged base, and a fluid permeable body. The fluid impermeable barrier has a first lateral dimension and at least partially defining a chamber, an aperture configured to receive a conduit therethrough, and an opening. The base extends from the fluid impermeable barrier distal to the aperture and has a second lateral dimension greater than the first lateral dimension. The fluid permeable body is positioned at least partially within the chamber to extend across at least a portion of the opening.

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.

A disposable female urinal comprises a funnel shaped body formed from a moulded fibre material. The body includes a relatively wide receiving mouth at one end narrowing along the length of the body to an outlet opening at the opposing end which forms a spout. The receiving mouth is surrounded by a sealing rim having a shape configured to be pressed against a user's pubic area in use. The rim comprises a curved return edge such that the exposed end surface of the moulded fibre body is directed away from the front end of the device that faces the user in use, ensuring that the edge does not contact the user when the device is pressed against the user in use to improve user comfort.

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.
