Abstract: A fluid collection system may include a fluid collection assembly configured to receive urine from a user, a container configured to sore the urine collected from the fluid collection assembly, a collection tube disposed between the fluid collection assembly and the container, and a bi-directional pump. The fluid collection system operates in a first configuration to draw urine from the fluid collection assembly into the container and a second configuration to drain the urine and clean the fluid collection system.

Abstract: A case for a catheter system is disclosed, the case including a case body including a first side coupled to a second side. The case can include padding with a plurality of cavities to receive components of the catheter system and a strap to secure components of the catheter system to an interior of the case body. The case can further include one or more clips affixed to an interior wall of the first side or the second side of the case body. The one or more clips can be configured to secure additional catheter tubing or an external catheter to the interior wall of case body.

Abstract: An example fluid collection assembly includes a fluid impermeable barrier defining at least one opening, a chamber in fluid communication with the at least one opening, and at least one fluid outlet. The fluid collection assembly also includes at least one porous material (e.g., at least one wicking material) disposed in the chamber. The fluid collection assembly also includes at least one conduit attached to the fluid outlet. Further, the fluid collection assembly includes one or more leak prevention features.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are urinary catheters and methods for manufacture and use. The urinary catheter can include a catheter tube, a lubricious coating over a surface of at least a distal portion of the catheter tube, and a funnel coupled to a proximal portion of the catheter tube. The catheter tube can be of a polymeric material. The lubricious coating can include a hydrophilic coating over the surface of the catheter tube and lubricant over the hydrophilic coating. The funnel can include a funnel opening in a proximal end of the funnel for voiding urine. In an example of a method of a urinary catheter, the method can include a method of making or using the urinary catheter.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is an apparatus and system directed to providing for a patients comfort while undergoing Targeted Temperature Management (TTM). A medical pad with the TTM can include a flexible upper sheet, a flexible base member, an adhesive surface, and an edge guard. The flexible base member can be interconnected to the flexible upper sheet to define a fluid containing layer including a plurality of tortuous fluid flow paths. The adhesive surface can be disposed on a skin-contacting side of the flexible upper sheet, and can be adapted for releasable adhesive contact with skin of the patient. The edge guard can include a pliant shock-absorbent material surrounding a portion of an edge of the flexible upper sheet, and can be configured to distribute pressure from the medical pad across a portion of the patients body in contact with a surface of the edge guard.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are intermittent-catheter assemblies and methods thereof. An intermittent-catheter assembly includes, in some embodiments, a collapsible catheter housing and an intermittent catheter. The catheter housing can include an inner sleeve and an outer sleeve slidably mounted over the inner sleeve. Alternatively, the catheter housing can include an outer sleeve and a collapsible outer cover coupled to the outer sleeve. The intermittent catheter includes a funnel and a catheter tube coupled to the funnel. The intermittent-catheter assembly has a storage state and an opened state. In the storage state, the intermittent catheter is sealed within the catheter housing. In the opened state, the catheter housing is collapsed exposing the funnel of the intermittent catheter for removal of the intermittent catheter from the catheter housing. Methods of the intermittent-catheter assemblies include a method of using an intermittent-catheter assembly.

Abstract: Disclosed are an intermittent-catheter assemblies and packages, carrying cases, and methods thereof. For example, an intermittent-catheter assembly can include an intermittent catheter and a catheter housing. The intermittent catheter can include a proximal piece (106), a cap (110) configured to cap a proximal opening of the proximal piece, and a catheter tube (114) fluidly connected to the proximal piece. The catheter housing can be around at least the catheter tube. The catheter housing can include a distal piece (130) and a collapsible sheath (148). The distal piece can include a lubricating means for lubricating the catheter tube when the distal piece is proximally slid over the catheter tube. The collapsible sheath can include a distal portion (146) coupled to the distal piece and a proximal portion (148) coupled to a neck of the proximal piece. An entirety of the catheter tube can be disposed in the catheter housing in a packaged state of the intermittent-catheter assembly.

Abstract: Examples relate to devices, systems, and methods for fluid collection such as urine. The fluid collection device a urine collection device, a first conduit, a urine collection bag having an interior region, a second conduit, and a modular pump. The urine collection device is configured to be positioned proximate to a urethra of a user. The first conduit is in fluid communication with the fluid collection device. The second conduit is in fluid communication with the interior region of the urine collection bag. The modular pump is configured to pull a vacuum and draw urine from the urine collection device through the first conduit and force the urine through the second conduit into the urine collection bag.
