  • Patent number: 7815619
    Abstract: A multi-piece fluid transfer receptacle is used in a male incontinence device. The receptacle includes an outer shell having a first open end adapted for receiving the penis of a user and a second end defining a fluid discharge port. The second end extends beyond the first end a distance sufficient to cover a head of the penis, whereby urine is transferred forwardly from the penis and outwardly from the receptacle through the discharge port. A detachable fluid-management insert is received within the first open end and includes an elongated tongue spaced apart from an interior surface of the outer shell. The tongue forms a backflow barrier between the penis and the outer shell to shield the penis from urine flowing backward towards the user and away from the discharge port.

  • Publication number: 20070197985
    Abstract: A collection bag is adapted for communicating with a male incontinence device designed to cover a portion of the penis. The collection bag has first and second opposing flexible side walls joined together and forming a fluid container for holding urine. A cylindrical bag neck is formed with the first and second side walls, and defines a mouth for receiving urine passed through the incontinence device and into the fluid container. The bag neck comprises a rigid valve cap. The valve cap includes an internal check valve for controlling urine flow outwardly from and into the incontinence device, and multiple circumferentially-spaced indexing elements. The indexing elements cooperate to position the valve cap relative to the incontinence device, such that the check valve is locatable in a single operative orientation.
