Embodiments described herein are directed to an external, female, gravity-based drainage system. The system includes a body having a front side and a rear side and a drainage tube extending from a bottom side. The body can include a finger groove disposed on the front side and configured to allow a user to grasp the body from the front side alone without any opposing force applied to the rear side. The user can then position the funnel, disposed on the rear side of the body, over a labia region to capture any fluids voided therefrom. The fluids can be directed towards the lumen of the drainage tube and directed towards a suitable receptacle. Advantageously, the shape of the drainage system can be easily grasped and manipulated from a single side which can be important for patients with limited manual dexterity.

Disclosed herein is a urinary output monitoring system. The system can include a urinary output monitoring device having a device body with a front panel and a back panel, and a fluid collection bag attachment configured to be detachably coupled to the front panel and to secure a fluid collection bag. The system can further include a load cell configured to determine a load placed upon the fluid collection bag attachment. The load cell can be in communication with a console. An attachment system can be configured to couple the urinary output monitoring system to a securing surface, for example to the back panel, and can have two or more contact points coupled to one or more rails defining a longitudinal axis, the contact points defining a lateral axis and configured to longitudinally move along the rails.

A device for the sanitary drainage of the contents of an ostomy pouch into a waste receptacle (e.g., toilet) is provided. The device includes a base; an extendible shaft coupled to the base; a body that receives the ostomy pouch while it is attached to a patient and directs the contents of the pouch into a chute; a pivoting mechanism that couples the body to the shaft to adjust the angle there between; and a chute coupled to the body that directs the contents of the ostomy pouch into the waste receptacle. The device and the adjustability that it provides offers patients, particularly mobile patients, the ability to sanitarily and ergonomically empty their ostomy pouches into a waste receptacle, such as a toilet, while in a standing position.

An apparatus for assisting an emptying procedure of an ostomy pouch includes a conduction structure providing a channel for conducting waste material from the ostomy pouch when the ostomy pouch is being emptied and a support structure for stabilizing the conduction structure without requiring that a user uses a hand to hold the support structure during the emptying procedure. The top opening of the conduction structure is sized so that an emptying port of the ostomy pouch fits inside the top opening. A length of the conduction structure is predetermined such as to reduce a splash caused by waste material exiting a bottom opening of the conduction structure into a water layer of a toilet bowl.

The present invention relates to a urine collector system from urine bags of the patients in hospital. The system is portable and movable and provide an easy, quick, adequate and hygienic disposal of urine from the multiple patients.

The invention relates to a suction bag emptying device (20) comprising a container (19) for receiving a suction bag (3), the container (19) having a discharge point for discharging the contents of the suction bag. The emptying device (20) comprises means for puncturing a bag portion without making contact with the bag. The invention further relates to an assembly comprising at least one suction bag (3) and a suction bag emptying device (20), and to a method for emptying a suction bag (3).

An ostomy collection device (10) including: a housing (12) which defines a collecting volume for receiving and storing waste from an ostomy appliance, an inlet (30) for fluidly connecting to an outlet of an ostomy appliance so that waste from the ostomy appliance flows into the collecting volume, an outlet (32) for emptying the contents of the collecting volume, and a lid portion (40) which is pivotable between a first position, in which the outlet (32) is open and waste can flow through the outlet (32) from the collecting volume, and a second position in which waste flow through the outlet (32) is impeded or substantially prevented.

The invention relates to a suction bag emptying device (13) comprising a container (15) with a lid for a suction bag to be placed into the container. The container (15) has a discharge point (17) for removal of the contents of the suction bag. The emptying device (13) is provided with a holder for suspending a suction bag with a lid from the holder by the lid, and a jacket (24) for lateral support of the suction bag. The lid (14) of the emptying device (13) is provided with means for puncturing the lid (4) of the suction bag (3) and for supplying pressurized liquid or gas into the suction bag (3). The invention also relates to an assembly comprising at least one suction bag (3) and a suction bag emptying device (13), and to a method for emptying the suction bag (3).

A system for processing suction bags including a housing comprising a loading area configured to allow suction bags to be loaded into the housing, a cutting area, a processing area, and a storage area. It also comprises a rotary support which comprises multiple receiving sites configured to accommodate suction bags, and which is mounted so as to be rotatable about a first axis of rotation; and a cutting member which is located in the cutting area and which is configured to cut at least one suction bag received in a receiving site when the at least one suction bag is located in the cutting area.
