  • Patent number: 7104975
    Abstract: The invention is of a male urinary system which, at its heart, includes a penis/urinary collection interface unit of a design which both collects urine without significant backflow during or after use and is sized and shaped for easy maneuvering into position, even when encountering restrictive spaces caused by body casts, braces, etc. Because the penis/urinary collection interface unit does not itself serve as the urine collection receptacle, but is merely in fluid communication therewith by a length of conduit, the collected urine will, if the system is used as intended, sit safely at a distance on the floor next to the patient's bed, or suspended from a hanging device or bracket attached to the patient's bed.

  • Publication number: 20060106354
    Abstract: An improved ostomy bag having a vent combination that allows for the easy and convenient expulsion of excess gas without the mess of emptying the entire bag of liquid waste. The valve combination also allows hygienic and convenient flushing and cleansing of the bag without the insertion of an irrigation bottle into the bottom discharge portion of the bag. A connection port attached to the bottom discharge portion of the bag provides for the easy attachment of a tube to allow the liquid waste to be directed to a sanitary and convenient waste receptacle rather than simply splashing out into a basin or sink.
