Publication number: 20240058161Abstract: 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.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 2, 2023Publication date: February 22, 2024Inventors: Daniel R.
