A female urinary catheter system may be provided comprising a drainage aperture element with an outer edge surrounding an inner aperture. The system may utilize a catheter conduit coupled to the inner aperture and may comprise one or more conduit segments which each have a first terminal end and a second terminal end. Further, the system may utilize a storage receptacle coupled to the catheter conduit with the storage receptacle comprising a leg coupling mechanism. Additionally, an anchor element may be coupled adjacent the drainage aperture element to provide positional stability to the drainage aperture element

Methods and apparatus for collecting fluids discharged from a urethra. An apparatus can include a housing with a rear and front portion a coupled together. A baseplate, inside the housing, includes an angled circumferential side surface adjacent to an inside surface of the housing, a main aperture, and a valve aperture extending through the baseplate. A discharge tube is coupled to the baseplate. An elastomeric tube extends from outside the housing to a termination point past the baseplate within the housing, the baseplate and the housing configured such that the collection tube is pinched and held in place between the baseplate angled circumferential side surface and an inside surface of the vented housing. One-way valves positioned in each valve aperture communicate air through the baseplate into the collection tube. A urethra tube, configured for collecting discharged urine, is positioned in a proximal end of the collection tube.

Examples relate to fluid collection assemblies, systems, and methods for collecting fluid from a wearer of the fluid collection assembly. The fluid collection assemblies include a fluid collection device attachable to an adapter. The fluid collection device includes porous material disposed within a fluid impermeable barrier. The adapter includes an interfacing body having at least one orifice and at least one attachment feature for attaching the adapter to the fluid collection device such that the porous material is fluidly connected to the at least one orifice. A fluid collection system includes a fluid collection device operably coupled to a fluid storage container and vacuum source via one or more sections of conduit.

A biodegradable urination-aiding device and method of using the same allows a user to urinate into a receptacle, such as a toilet bowl, from a standing position by passing urine directly into the water contained in a receptacle. The device is manipulatable or configurable from a storage configuration, wherein the device is efficiently stored either by itself, or with a plurality of like-devices, to a use configuration, wherein a body of the device defines an elongated, hollow structure. In use, a user associates a first open end of the device with his or her urethra, and places a second open end of the device into the water contained within the receptacle. With the device associated with the urethra, a user urinates into the device, and urine is conveyed into the receptacle in a clean and quiet manner.

A holder device including a urinal bag support and a handle fixed to the support, wherein the support includes first and second spacers for holding a urinal bag in first and second open positions, respectively, in which positions the bag opens in first and second different orientations, respectively.

A wearable urinary collection apparatus for being worn by a user, including an elongate, watertight, flexible receptacle having an entrance opening near one end thereof and an elongate, flexible backflow inhibiting device which is connected to and extends within a portion of the flexible receptacle and also includes an entrance opening to receive the user's penis therein. At least one of the entrance opening of the receptacle and the entrance opening of the backflow inhibiting device is configured to receive the user's penis therein such that urine discharged from the penis flows through the backflow inhibiting device into the receptacle. The receptacle and the backflow inhibiting device are each formed of flexible plastic sheet material and are each configured to collapse flat when not in use, and the backflow inhibiting device has constrictions formed therein for constricting and diverting flow of urine therethrough.

A sanitary hand-held disposable portable urinal device is well suited for male use. In an embodiment, this easy to use device has a leak and splash resistant flexible, sealable opening that is attached to two flexible transparent plastic bags. In an embodiment, bags are nested inside of each other and are joined together to provide entry only to the inner bag. The bags are odor and vapor sealable and made of a hydrophobic polymer that may be biodegradable. In the space between the two bags a dry gel polymer is present. After the urine is collected in the inner bag the top of the bag is sealed. The contents of the inner bag are then exposed to the space containing the gel through a water soluble, or mechanical means. After use, the disposable urinal may be discarded.

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.

Disclosed is a male urinary flow directing device for involuntary and hygiene protection during urination. The device includes a hollow tubular body, a perforation line and an absorbent moisture collecting liner. The hollow tubular body extends between first and second end portions thereof, and defines a diameter thereof, and an inner circumferential profile along the first end portion. The hollow tubular body includes a plurality of foldable lines across which the hollow tubular body is folded to be formed. The perforation line is formed along the first end portion and extends across one of a foldable line. The liner is coupled along the inner circumferential profile. The hollow tubular body is wearable, and to fit various sizes is tearable along the perforation line to expand or converge the diameter. The liner along the first end portion absorbs urination drops while the hollow tubular body is removed.
