  • Patent number: 4421509
    Abstract: An expandable plastic collection bag adapted to be strapped to the leg of an incontinent patient and provided with an inlet tube for directing urine into the bag. The bag also has a clamp-equipped discharge tube to facilitate periodic draining of the bag's contents. The straps are located to exert a force urging the inner wall of the bag into conforming engagement with a wearer's leg, and side pleats allow expansion of the bag in a way that permits a relatively large portion of the inner wall to remain in surface contact with the leg. The inlet and outlet tubes are hingedly mounted for self-adjusting limited pivotal movement towards and away from the bag's outer wall to reduce possibilities that the flow passages might become kinked as the bag is filled. Such pivotal movement is facilitated by openings and by heat seal lines formed in the walls of the bag at the locations of the inlet and outlet tubes.

  • Patent number: 4226328
    Abstract: A single-use disposable catheterization package containing the components required for accomplishing a catheterization procedure includes an outer tray and an inner tray. During storage the inner tray is nested within the outer tray and the components required for the catheterization procedure are organized within respective recesses provided on the inner tray. Upon use, the trays are separated and liquid collected as a result of the procedure is received in the outer tray. To prevent spillage, the inner tray is inverted and attached to the outer tray to provide a closed compartment. Rim portions on the inner and outer trays provide a locking leak-resistant engagement between the trays.
