An example fluid collection assembly includes a fluid collection assembly defining an opening. The fluid collection assembly includes a fluid impermeable barrier defining at least a portion of a chamber and at least one porous material disposed in the chamber. The opening and the chamber of the fluid collection assembly are configured to receive at least a portion of a penis (e.g., at least the urethral opening of the penis). The fluid collection assembly also includes a skirt. The skirt is configured to attach the fluid collection assembly to an individual. To facilitate attachment to the individual, the skirt may exhibit a high flexibility. The high flexibility allows the skirt to be comfortably attached to the skin about the penis even when the size and/or topography of the skin about the penis varies and/or changes due to movement of the individual.

A unisex urine collection assembly for use by either sex in a non-ambulatory setting includes a tube, which has a cutout positioned in a top face thereof and extending from proximate to a midpoint toward a first end thereof. A second end of the tube is closed. A connector engaged to the first end of the tube can engage a conduit extending from a suctioning unit. Each of a pair of pads is engaged to the tube and extends from a respective opposed edge of the cutout thereinto so that the pads defines a slot. The pads are resiliently flexible and can sealably engage skin of the user. The pads can be positioned between labia of a female user or to bracket a penis inserted into the slot by a male user. Urine expelled by the user is suctioned from the tube into a reservoir.

Embodiments disclosed herein are directed to an anti-microbial coated urethral plug to reduce catheter associated urinary tract infections (“CAUTI”). A urethral plug is configured to engage a urinary catheter and includes a plug body defining a frustum shape, a lumen configured to receive the urinary catheter, and a slit extending longitudinally and extending from the lumen to a side surface of the plug body. The plug can further include one of a textured surface and a coating disposed on an outer surface and configured to mitigate microbial adhesion. A distal portion of the plug is configured to fit within a urethral opening to create a seal between the side surface of the plug body and the urethral opening. The urethral plug includes coatings, textured surfaces, or the like, and provides protection against the extra-luminal migration of microbes that may cause CAUTI.

Example fluid collection systems and methods of use are described. The fluid collection system includes a garment and a fluid collection device. The garment is configured to be worn on a pelvis of a user, and includes at least a crotch portion having an inner surface and at least one of a strap partially defining a through hole between the strap and the inner surface or a pocket on the inner surface of the crotch portion. The at least one of the strap or the pocket are positioned on the crotch portion of the garment and the fluid collection device is sized to position the opening and the fluid permeable body proximate to a urethra of the user.

A device includes a shell including a proximal end and a distal end of the shell. The device also includes a plunger within the shell. The plunger can include a flexible stop at a proximal end of the plunger and a distal end. The device can further include an absorptive unit configured to absorb fluid within a vaginal cavity. The absorptive unit can be affixed to the distal end of the plunger. The absorptive unit can include an absorptive element affixed to a frame structure configurable to reversibly transition between a compressed and uncompressed configuration. The absorptive unit can also include a tether coupled to the absorptive unit via the frame structure. The tether can extend through the proximal end of the plunger. Related methods of use are also described.

Examples relate to fluid collection devices, and related systems and methods. In an embodiment, a fluid collection device includes a fluid impermeable barrier, one or more openings, and a port. The fluid impermeable barrier at least partially defines a chamber and includes a proximal end region and a distal end region. The one or more openings are positioned to receive fluid discharged from a user and are in fluid communication with the chamber. The port is positioned at the proximal end region of the fluid impermeable barrier. The fluid collection device is adjustable between a vacuum-based orientation and a gravity-based orientation to withdraw fluid through the port of the fluid collection device.

The invention comprises a urine removal devices that enable urine discharged from a male patient's penis to be contained within a flexible pouch and drawn out of the pouch and away from the genital region of the patient through a drain tube. The pouch comprises a first fluid compartment, a second fluid compartment and a fluid transmission passageway connecting the first fluid compartment and the second fluid compartment—wherein the fluid transmission passageway comprises a thin-film unidirectional fluid flow valve configured to enable for fluid flow from the first fluid compartment to the second fluid compartment, and to prevent fluid flow from the second fluid compartment to the first fluid compartment. The pouch may have an aperture sized to permit a male patient's penis to enter the pouch within the first fluid compartment.
