  • Publication number: 20230240884
    Abstract: An example fluid collection assembly includes a sheath and a base. The sheath includes a fluid impermeable barrier having a proximal region and a distal region extending from the proximal region. The proximal region exhibits a first width and the distal region exhibits a second width that is less than the first width. The proximal region defines an opening and the distal region defines a fluid outlet. The fluid impermeable barrier define a chamber. The sheath also includes at least one porous material disposed in the chamber. The base may be attached to or configured to be attached to the sheath. The base defines an aperture that is aligned with the opening when the base is attached to the sheath. The base is configured to be secured to a region about a penis of an individual with the aperture positioned over the penis.

  • Publication number: 20220117773
    Abstract: A device suitable for collecting and transporting urine away from the body of a person including a casing defining an internal volume and an opening. The casing can include a compressible material which is elastically deformable when the device is disposed in a pubic region of a female user. The device can include a porous material disposed within the internal volume and in fluid communication with the opening. The porous material can wick, draw, or direct fluid, such as urine, away from the pubic region of the female user and into the internal volume. The device can include a fluid conduit disposed within the internal volume and enabling extraction of fluid from the internal volume. The device can include a fluid impermeable housing disposed within the internal volume and adhered or otherwise affixed to the casing.
