Disclosed herein is a bladder collection system. Particularly, a bladder collection system for females is disclosed. The system is designed to be flexible and useful in upright or mobile situations. The bladder relief system includes a collection interface sized and configured for seated or standing application, a sleeve, defining a collection opening, and sidewalls defining a collection cavity, an interface tubing, extending from one end of the sleeve to another, between a collection end of the interface tubing, and an exit port for connection to an exit hose; and an adsorbing material contained within the collection cavity.

A urine collection device is provided. The urine collection device includes a basin configured to fit a perineal region of a female human subject and to receive urine; a lip attached to the basin and having a contact surface for attachment to the perineal region; a ridge extending into the basin and disposed along an inferior portion of the lip to prevent leakage of urine from the basin; and a drain opening in the basin for draining the urine. The urine collection device advantageously prevents leakage and allows for easy access for urine analysis and measurement of urine output. Methods and systems for collecting and quantifying urine are also provided.

Disclosed are menstrual cup applicators and methods of their use. Some applicators include a holder having a proximal end defining a first opening and a distal end defining a second opening, wherein the holder defines a channel extending between the first and second openings, the channel having a longitudinal axis and being configured to receive a menstrual cup, and a plunger having a shaft that is receivable by the first opening such that the shaft is movable within the channel along the longitudinal axis. In some applicators, the channel is bounded at the distal end by points on the holder that are positioned to facilitate containment of a menstrual cup within the channel. In some applicators, a maximum transverse dimension of the second opening is at least 1.5 times a maximum transverse dimension of the first opening.

A menstrual cup is capable of having various sizes customizedly selected according to the characteristics of women's vaginas having different sizes by providing an upper restoring ring having a diameter larger than the diameter of a restoring ring provided on a flexible cup, so that if the menstrual cup is inserted into a wearer's vagina to cause her to feel painful because it is bigger than her vagina, the upper restoring ring is removed, and next, the menstrual cup with the restoring ring smaller than the upper restoring ring is inserted into the vagina, thereby achieving pain removal and safe and convenient collection of menstrual blood and perfectly preventing the initial reluctance of women in the use of the menstrual cup in spite of many advantages the menstrual cup has had.

A fluid collection system may include a fluid collection device, a tube, a fluid collection container configured to receive fluid from the fluid collection device, and a vacuum source configured to pull an at least partial vacuum to draw the fluid from the fluid collection device through the tube into the fluid collection container. The fluid collection device may include a fluid impermeable barrier including an outer surface and an inner surface, the fluid impermeable barrier defining a chamber, at least one opening, and a fluid outlet. The fluid collection device may include a porous material disposed in the chamber and an external support coupled to the outer surface of the fluid impermeable barrier. The fluid impermeable barrier exhibits a first shape prior to shaping the external support and a second shape after shaping the external support with the first shape being different from the second shape.

An example fluid collection assembly includes a fluid impermeable barrier defining at least one opening, a chamber, and at least one fluid outlet. The fluid collection assembly also includes at least one porous material disposed in the chamber. The fluid collection assembly further includes at least one inflation device. The inflation device includes bladder having one or more walls defining an interior region. The inflation device also includes at least one valve configured to selectively permit fluid flow into and out of the interior region to switch the bladder between a first state and a second state. The inflation device may at least one of controllably change the length of the fluid collection assembly or controllably change a width of at least a portion of the fluid collection assembly to more comfortably fit the fluid collection assembly within the labia folds of an individual using the fluid collection assembly.

Embodiments are directed to a fluid collection system for collecting and transporting urine away from the body. The system includes a fluid collection device positionable at least proximate to a urethra of a female user. The device includes a fluid impermeable enclosure, a fluid permeable membrane, a reservoir at least partially defined by the enclosure and the membrane, a porous body disposed in the reservoir, and a drain tube coupled to an intermediate region of the enclosure. The reservoir may be configured to receive fluid discharged from the user through the fluid permeable membrane. The tube may be positioned and configured to drain the fluid that flows through the porous body. The system further includes a vacuum source configured to draw fluid from the device by applying at least a partial suction force to the reservoir of the device and a fluid collection container in fluid communication with the tube.
