External urinary catheterization device and method of use
An external urinary catheterization device for externally catheterizing a female includes a shell, which defines an interior space and which is substantially impermeable to urine. A cutout is positioned in an upper face of the shell. The shell is positionable between legs of a female with the cutout over her a vulva. A fill material, which is positioned in and which substantially occupies the interior space, wicks urine from the vulva into the interior space. A tube, which is attached to and which extends from the shell, is in fluidic communication with the interior space and is operationally engageable to tubing that extends from, and which is operationally engaged to, a vacuum assembly. The tube allows for passage of the urine from the fill material so that the urine is suctioned through the tubing and into a reservoir of the vacuum assembly.
