Abstract: A splash prevention apparatus is disclosed. The splash prevention apparatus may be placed on a surface to capture satellite droplets that would result from a liquid impinging upon the surface. The splash prevention device is designed to be particularly effective when used inside a urinal to capture impinging urine. In embodiments, a splash prevention device includes a planar base pad, which may be designed to either fit the shape of the base of a urinal or to resemble other easily recognizable shapes. In embodiments, a pillar array extends from the planar base pad and the pillars may be made of a material that will bend when impinged upon by a stream of urine. Both the base pad and pillar array of a splash prevention device may be formed from rigid or deformable material. The pillar array may be arranged in a Cartesian or non-Cartesian pattern.
