A reusable menstrual discharge collection device is described comprising: a continuous single piece article that forms a menstrual discharge disc-shaped collection device with a half spherical dome catch where the half spherical dome catch includes a continuous top and bottom portion, and wherein the continuous top portion is attached to a continuous flexible hinge that is placed along an entire circumferential upper portion of the half spherical dome catch and wherein the hinge also forms a base for and is connected to a 360 degree continuous rim section such that the hinge allows the continuous rim section to be in both an inverted use position/configuration that allows movement of the rim section toward the half dome spherical catch allowing for adjustability to fit multiple cervix physiologies and the elongated configuration that allows for ease of manufacturing and cleaning.

A stress urinary incontinence device is provided to limit or prevent leakage of urine in an individual. The device includes a body comprising an inner portion surrounded by an outer portion. The outer portion comprises biocompatible material and has a contact face opposing a guide face. The contact face is configured to occlude the urethral opening of the individual. A guide having an interior portion surrounded by an exterior portion projects from the guide face to aid in the application of the device onto the urethral meatus beneath the inner labia and above the vaginal opening of the individual. The device comprises materials that render it reusable.

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.
