  • Publication number: 20220023091
    Abstract: A urine collection device includes a collection member extending from a proximal end to a distal end. The proximal end includes an opening that provides access to an internal cavity of the collection member. The internal cavity includes a first chamber in fluid communication with a second chamber. The urine collection device includes a spacer in the second chamber, a first attachment member extending from a bottom wall of the collection member at the proximal end., a second attachment member extending from a top wall of the collection member at the proximal end, and an outlet for egressing urine from the internal cavity of the collection member. The first attachment member defines an aperture. The collection member is suitable to (i) direct urine from the first chamber to the second chamber and (ii) direct the urine in the second chamber distally toward the outlet.

  • Publication number: 20210069008
    Abstract: In an example, a urine collection device includes a covering defining a recessed receptacle and a fluid collection assembly positioned in the recessed receptacle. The fluid collection assembly includes (i) a foam sleeve including a bore, (ii) a shape retaining element positioned in the bore of the foam sleeve and defining a passage, and (iii) a tube extending through the passage defined by the shape retaining element. The shape retaining element can conform the fluid collection assembly to a curved configuration and maintain the curved configuration of the fluid collection assembly until the curved configuration is adjusted. The urine collection further includes a top sheet coupled to the covering. The top sheet and the covering define an internal chamber of the urine collection device. The top sheet is configured to draw urine into the internal chamber and toward the fluid collection assembly.

  • Publication number: 20200390230
    Abstract: The present disclosure generally relates to oral care systems and devices. An oral care system includes a container defining an interior portion. The container includes a repository provided within the interior portion and configured to hold a fluid, and a barrier configured to maintain the fluid separate from the interior portion. The barrier is configured to be breached to expose the interior portion to the fluid. The system further includes a tube configured to slide in the interior portion of the container. The tube includes a distal end configured to breach the barrier when the tube is moved in a direction of the fluid in the repository.

  • Publication number: 20190216663
    Abstract: An inflatable device includes a top sheet and a bottom sheet to define a cavity when inflated such that the top sheet forms a top wall of the cavity and the bottom sheet forms a bottom wall of the cavity. The device includes a cavity junction connecting the top sheet and the bottom sheet configured to separate the cavity into a first cavity and a second cavity. The device includes a first port having a first opening in fluid communication with the first cavity and configured to allow passage of air into the first cavity. The device includes a second port having a second opening in fluid communication with the second cavity and configured to allow passage of air into the second cavity. The device further includes an opening in the cavity junction configured to allow air flow from the second cavity into the first cavity.
