NON-INVASIVE FLUID COLLECTION DEVICE FOR IMPROVED FLUID COLLECTION FOR AMBULATORY USERS

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.

A urinary collection device includes an outer surface and a generally fluid-permeable core that communicates fluidically with an aspiration tube. The outer surface includes an obverse opening to allow urine to flow into the fluid-permeable core when the device is positioned supralabially. On the reverse may be an actuatable fastener configured to retain the device in a reverse-folded intralabial position. In this manner the device may be placed supralabially or intralabially for urine collection as appropriate. The core may include a first knit fabric layer and a second knit fabric layer joined by a plurality of fibers, the fibers being oriented generally to extend from an obverse to a reverse position to thereby result in flow channels through the core.

Externally wearable female urinary collection and drainage device and related components, systems, kits and methods
11583434 · 2023-02-21 ·

Disclosed herein is a urinary collection and drainage device configured to be externally worn on a crotch region of a female wearer. The device includes a collection portion and a funnel portion extending from the collection portion. The collection portion is configured to substantially cover the wearer's vagina so as to receive and facilitate directional flow of urine, that the wearer excretes, into the funnel portion. The funnel portion facilitates flow of the urine to exit the device through an outlet opening of the funnel portion. Also disclosed are assemblies, kits and methods, incorporating the device in connection with additional components to enable a female wearer to urinate, in a sanitary manner, without disrobing, e.g., while standing, kneeling or in a similar position that would not obstruct the flow of urine.
