A drainage liquid sampling system is disclosed and includes a connector couplable with a drainage tube of a drainage system, the connector defining an inlet port, an outlet port, and a sample port, where the inlet port, the outlet port, and the sample port are in fluid communication with each other, and a sample container couplable with the sample port. A valve within the connector selectively allows and prevents flow of drainage liquid into the sample container. A cap couplable to the sample container also includes a valve. A system for draining liquid from a patient includes the drainage liquid sampling system.

A catheter system is disclosed that includes a catheter with an elongated, flexible tube having an entry end, an exit end, and a control valve. The control valve controls the flow of fluids through the catheter tube. The exit end or control valve also includes a coupler which is utilized to allow the catheter to be moved between a stowed condition coupled to a flexible belt and an in-use condition uncoupled from the belt.

A body waste collection system for collecting excretions from the anus and/or urethra of female humans and animals. The body waste collection system includes a pad that has a central opening of a shape and shape that corresponds to a shape and size of a body orifice, wherein the pad can adhere to the skin area around the body orifice. A tubing fluidly connects the central opening of the pad to a waste collection bag, such as excretions from the body orifice can pass through the central opening into the tubing, and the tubing can direct the excretions into the waste collection bag.

An ostomy appliance includes a waste collection bag that is molded to form a front wall that continuously extends to form both a side wall and a rear wall. The rear wall is spaced apart from the front wall when the waste collection bag is empty. A bottom of the waste collection bag is defined by a curved bottom wall that continuously extends from both the front wall and a rear wall. The waste collection bag is formed to include a longitudinal curvature within at least one of the front wall and the rear wall, and a connector is integrally molded into the rear wall of the waste collection bag around a waste inlet.

A leg strap assembly is provided for supporting a urine bag on a user's leg. The leg strap assembly includes a pair of straps selectively couplable with the urine bag, wherein each strap of the leg strap assembly includes a central band and a pair of outer bands extending outward from each end portion of the central band. The central band has a larger width than the each of the outer bands to provide comfort to the user.

Provided herein are systems, methods and apparatuses for a Menstrual disc.

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.

A body fluid analysis device that irradiates a body fluid in a tube having translucency with light and analyzes the body fluid on the basis of light having passed through the tube is adapted to include: a base; an attachment that is attached to the base 1 so that the tube is pinched in its radial direction between the attachment and the base; a light emitting element that is provided to the base or the attachment; and a light receiving element that is provided to the base or the attachment, in which in a state where the attachment is attached to the base, between the base and the attachment, the light emitting element and the light receiving element are arranged so as to pinch the tube in the radial direction, or both of the light emitting element and the light receiving element are arranged in the base or the attachment.

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.
