  • Patent number: 12251332
    Abstract: A urine collection and storage system has a urinal and a remote collection bag interconnected by a tube. An intermediate coupler in the tube and adjacent to the urinal bifurcates the tube into separable proximal and distal portions. The proximal portion of the tube is shorter and stiffer while the distal portion of the tube is longer length and less stiff to provide both flexibility and resist kinking. The collection bag can have a pair of layers joined together about substantially a perimeter with a double seal including an outer seal adjacent the perimeter and an inner seal spaced-apart from the outer seal. A plurality of different reusable urine collection and storage kits can be provided with different urinals adapted for individuals.

  • Patent number: 6070275
    Abstract: A system and method for holding and disposing of urine for patients who are continent includes a urinal, a drainage tube and a urine receptacle. When a continent patient desires to urinate, he or she simply positions the urinal properly and urinates. The urine entering the urinal is conveyed through the urinal and drainage tube and into a receptacle which may be disposed of, or may be used for medical tests. In a preferred embodiment, the drainage tube includes a one-way flow valve to prevent urine in the reservoir from accidentally flowing into the urinal in the event that the urinal is dropped or the reservoir suddenly raised. The system can also include an enclosure member which conceals the receptacle and which holds the receptacle to reduce backflow of urine into the drainage tube.
