Abstract: A latex container for use as a leg bag by urinary incontinent persons. The latex leg bag is provided with strap holders that are formed simultaneously with the leg bag structure to provide a more structurally reliable strap holder. The strap holder includes a nodal growth of latex, simultaneously grown during the latex coagulation process. The nodal growth bridges an interstice on the former to close the strap holder loop. The leg bag container is provided with a skewed entry neck for facilitating better dressing of the delivery tube during use, and may be formed in a concave shape to better conform to the user's leg. The former is machined with corresponding structure to form the leg bag in a latex coagulation process. After the latex bag is formed and cured for a predetermined period, the latex bag structure is treated with a rubber polymer/solvent (KRATON G/toluene) chemical compound for managing the permeation of urine odors.

Abstract: A latex container, and associated former and method for producing, for use as a leg bag by urinary incontinent males. The latex leg bag is provided with strap holders that are integrally formed simultaneously with the leg bag structure to provide a more structurally reliable strap holder. The strap holder includes a nodal growth of latex, simultaneously grown during the a latex coagulation process, that bridges an interstice on the former to close the strap holder loop. The leg bag container is provided having a skewed entry neck for facilitating better dressing of the delivery tube during use, and a concave shape to better conform to the user's leg. The former is machined with corresponding structure to form the leg bag in a latex coagulation process.

Abstract: A flexible cylindrical sheath arrangement for a male urinary device in which the "press-on" device has a longitudinal opening to accommodate insertion of the male organ. The device is sealed along the length of the male penis by use of adhesive on flaps projecting laterally from the cylindrical sheath. Prior to use, the adhesive is covered with a release lining. The sheath portion is connected to a conical portion which terminates in a tubular urine exhaust passage and communicates urine external to the device.

Abstract: An improved male urinal device comprises an upper thin walled sheath, an intermediate transition zone having a thicker wall, and a lower stem portion having a still thicker wall. The stem portion includes a stem, a bulbous portion above the stem and a conical or funnel section joined to the upper portion of the bulb and to the lower end of the transition zone. A resilient ring of foam cushion material is bonded to an upper portion of the inner surface of the sheath and has a second adhesive surface which engages and forms a seal around the penis.The present invention also provides a method of applying a suitable adhesive to an inner surface of the male urinal device. The method comprises employing a transfer mandrel having a high release outer coating of a suitable high release material, applying a suitable pressure sensitive adhesive in various patterns, rolling the male urinal device onto the transfer mandrel thereby causing the adhesive to adhere to an inner surface of the male urinal device.

Abstract: A simplified method of carrying out thin-layer chromatography for the detection of drugs. Neutral, basic amine-containing, and acidic drugs are extracted from a physiological medium with a salt-organic solvent system. The organic phase is then transferred incrementally to a small dish having a small adsorbent disc, with the organic solvent system evaporated between the incremental additions. When the organic extractant is substantially completely evaporated, the disc is then introduced into an available opening adjacent one end of a thin-layer chromatograph. The chromatograph is then developed employing a developing solution. After drying the chromatograph, the chromatograph is subjected to specific reagent treatment and developing processes, involving dipping, rather than spraying, to color the various spots and make them visible. In this manner, a physiological sample can be rapidly treated and the presence of a drug determined in accordance with its migration and coloration under reagent treatment.
