  • Patent number: 11925574
    Abstract: In an example, a fecal collection system includes a user interface assembly, a drainage conduit, and a collection reservoir. The user interface assembly includes a user interface and an applicator. The user interface has a proximal side and a distal side. The proximal side is configured to couple to skin of a user. The applicator is coupled to the distal side of the user interface. The applicator is removable from the user interface while the user interface is coupled to the user. The drainage conduit extends between a proximal end and a distal end. The proximal end is configured to couple to the distal side of the user interface. The drainage conduit defines a lumen configured to guide feces from the proximal end to the distal end. The collection reservoir coupled to the distal end of the drainage conduit.

  • Publication number: 20230404791
    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.
