Systems and methods provide for holding surgical drain evacuators in inelastic expandable pouches. Particularly, apparatuses and methods include or utilize garments for supporting and protecting surgical drain evacuators and surgical drains include straps or belts for attaching the garment to a patient. The garments include one or more expandable pouches configured to receive a surgical drain evacuator, wherein the expandable pouch is formed of a flexible inelastic material.

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 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.

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.

An interactive one-piece pantsuit is provided for wear by an infant/toddler, when a medical device has been surgically implanted into the infant/toddler. For this purpose, the pantsuit acts as a protective garment which normally covers and protects extracorporeal components of the medical device. The garment, however, includes flaps which are positioned at key locations on the garment over the extracorporeal components of the medical device. These flaps can then be selectively raised to temporarily provide a caregiver with the necessary access to the medical device for operational or maintenance purposes.

Examples relate to fluid collection devices, systems, and methods of collecting fluid from wearers. The fluid collection devices include a retention means for maintaining the position of the fluid collection device with respect to the wearer.

An ostomy output diversion device is used to cover and seal closely around a patient's stoma, to divert stoma effluent output through the device, into a container or reservoir, temporarily eliminating the need of an adhesive-based ostomy pouching system. The ostomy output diversion device is placed over the person's stoma, with the base ring surrounding the peristomal skin, the adjustable inner tube is retracted until the base ring is centered over the stoma, the body support strap is then placed over the device to secure it to the patient's body, the inner tube is then extended over the stoma, the patient applies the desired pressure against the skin, then secures the inner tube in place with the pressure adjustment lock. The device may also include an ostomy pouch mounting ring for attachment to an ostomy pouch, and a disposable receptacle.

A urinary catheter device is disclosed that uses a condom that is placed over the penis and connects to a tube that leads to a collection bag or container. To maintain the condom on the penis, the device includes a hinged sleeve that is placed over the condom on the shaft of the penis and prevents slipping. The sleeve is held in place by an elastic band, and the dry frictional contact between the condom, the sleeve, and the patient has been found to prevent the catheter device from slipping off the patient.

A method for securing a condom catheter in place on a user is provided. The method includes the step of providing a cuff holder comprising first and second adhesive bodies. Each adhesive body having an upper end and a lower end and central area between the upper end and the lower end. The method includes the steps of positioning the condom catheter on the user, applying the lower end of the first adhesive body onto a front side of the condom catheter below a flange, applying the upper end of the first adhesive body onto a front side of the penile shaft above the flange so that the central area of the first adhesive body is adjacent to the flange. The second adhesive body is applied similarly.
