A urine collection device has a chamber assembly, which includes a layer of wicking material and porous material. The porous material is configured to form a chamber in which urine can be collected for transport; and the wicking material is disposed about the porous material. The chamber has a port for receiving a tube so that urine collected within the chamber can be transported from the chamber by being drawn from the chamber when a partial vacuum is applied within the chamber via the received tube. The chamber assembly is so dimensioned and configured that opposing portions of the assembly are sufficiently adjacent as to define an opening through which the head of a penis can be inserted. A layer of impermeable material is so attached to the chamber assembly as to cover one side of the opening and thereby provide a receptacle for receiving the head of an inserted penis.

A portable urinal mounting assembly selectively connectable to a walker having a pair of side support assemblies including upper and lower support braces. The mounting assembly comprises an body sleeve adapted to receive a portable urinal. Front left and right straps and rear left and right straps are attached to the body sleeve. Each of the front and rear left and right straps have an end portion including an attachment device. The end portions of the straps are arranged and designed to be removably secured to the upper and lower support braces of the pair of side support assemblies.

A system suitable for collecting and transporting urine away from the body of a person or animal may include an assembly having a fluid impermeable casing having a fluid reservoir at a first end, a fluid outlet at a second end, and a longitudinally extending fluid impermeable layer coupled to the fluid reservoir and the fluid outlet and defining a longitudinally elongated opening between the reservoir and the outlet. The assembly can further include a fluid permeable support disposed within the casing with a portion extending across the elongated opening, and a fluid permeable membrane disposed on the support and covering at least the portion of the support that extends across the elongated opening, so that the membrane is supported on the support and disposed across the elongated opening. The assembly can further include a tube having a first end disposed in the reservoir and a second, fluid discharge end.

A portable urinal assembly for receiving a scrotum and a penis of an obese person while urinating therein includes a container that has a bottom wall, a top wall and a perimeter wall that is attached to and extends between the top wall and the bottom wall such that a receiving space is formed therein. The receiving space holds urine. The perimeter wall has a front side, a back side, a first lateral side and a second lateral side. The top wall has an opening that extends therethrough. The top wall extends from the front side toward a central area of the top wall. The opening has a perimeter edge that is angled upwardly from the front side to the central area. A conduit is fluidly coupled to container and is in fluid communication with the receiving space. A cap is removably positioned on the conduit to close the conduit.

The present invention is a bedside or chairside urinal holder/cover made entirely of durable washable fabric. Fabric pieces are sewn to conform to the shape of a urinal. Three sides of the holder/cover are tall enough to cover the urinal to the lid. The fourth side is shorter. Its semi-circular opening allows easy access to a portable urinal's handle. Permanently stitched to the top rim of the holder/cover is a closed-end loop, also made of durable washable fabric. The loop may be laid over the top of a bedrail or chair arm and the body of the holder/cover pulled through this loop to securely fasten it in place. The holder/cover cannot accidentally come unfastened, hides urinal contents, and gives an aesthetically pleasing appearance. It can be laundered and stored with other linens until it is put back into service. It takes little space and has a long lifespan.

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.

The assembly can further include a fluid permeable support disposed within the casing with a portion extending across the elongated opening, and a fluid permeable membrane disposed on the support and covering at least the portion of the support that extends across the elongated opening, so that the membrane is supported on the support and disposed across the elongated opening. The assembly can further include a tube having a first end disposed in the reservoir and a second, fluid discharge end.

A hospital bed provides improved handling of non-ambulatory patients and others who cannot easily be moved, such as to a hospital room toilet. The hospital bed includes a flexible mattress and a belt attached to the flexible mattress ends. The hospital bed frame has a pallet for supporting the flexible mattress and a chute attached to the frame beneath the pallet that receives the end of the flexible mattress. Multiple rollers direct the flexible mattress and belt. A motor supplies rotational force to one of the rollers and one of the rollers also provides for bending the flexible mattress to enter the chute, so that the end of the flexible mattress is guided underneath the pallet. A system includes the hospital bed with a detachable sanitary station. The sanitary station includes a toilet top and unites with the bed to deliver the patient to a position atop the toilet.

A container, in particular a urine bottle formed from maceratable sheet material comprises an enclosing wall and an aperture. The container is expandable from a first, collapsed configuration into a second, expanded configuration. The sheet material has a plurality of fold lines which define one or more recesses in the enclosing wall of the container in the expanded configuration. In the collapsed condition, the container comprises a lower sheet and an upper sheet lying below a sheet, the upper and lower sheets being sealed together along their lateral edges and along a first, end edge between a first, lower end of the lateral edges. The lateral edges taper towards each other and the aperture extends between the second, opposite ends of the lateral edges.
