Abstract: Novel component devices for urine management systems including a novel collection device, a novel conveyance tube, and a novel storage container. The collection device, a novel male catheter, comprises a waterproof, thin-walled conduction tube surrounding the penis, having wettable internal walls and containing a spacing wick. At one end, the conduction tube is connected to, or surrounded by, an elastic compression tube that provides a uniform compressive force around the girth of the penis for attachment and liquid seal to said penis, and at the other end is attached to a fitting that connects to the conveyance tube. The elastic compression tube is radially expanded prior to donning and, when in place over the penis, is allowed to elastically retract, providing radial compression for comfortable, and leak-free fit and use.

Abstract: A urine management system including components in fluid wicking communication with one another—a collection device, a conveyance tube, and a storage container—is disclosed. The gender-shaped collection device has wettable internal walls and contains a spacing wick. The male collection device additionally has a compression tube that provides a uniform compressive force for attachment and seal. The conveyance tube wicks urine from the collection device to the storage container, and contains a spacer throughout its length to prevent blockage by kinks or twists. The tube adapts to human shape and movement, expands during use, and contracts during idle periods. The storage container receives urine from the conveyance tube and immobilizes it. The storage container can be reusable or disposable. It's internal structure causes uniform distribution of the urine throughout the storage container. The urine system components provide continuous wicking through special connecting devices.
