  • Publication number: 20240033148
    Abstract: Examples relate to devices, systems, and methods for fluid collection such as urine. A portable urine collection system includes a urine collection device, a conduit in fluid communication with the urine collection device, a urine collection container having an interior region, a pump, and a container support configured to detachably secure to a motorized wheelchair that is adjustable between a sitting orientation and a standing orientation. The pump is configured to pull an at least partial vacuum on the interior region of the urine collection container effective to draw urine from the urine collection device through the conduit into the urine collection container when the motorized wheelchair is in each of the sitting orientation and the standing orientation. The container support is sized and dimensioned to support the urine collection container and the pump therein.

  • Publication number: 20230210685
    Abstract: Examples relate to systems, devices, and methods utilizing means for securing a protruding portion of a fluid permeable body disposed between a wearer's labia in position during use. The protruding portion is formed from fluid permeable material that allows urine or other fluids to pass therethrough. The fluid permeable body is disposed at least partially within a fluid impermeable barrier to prevent leakage of the fluid. The fluid is removed through a conduit disposed in a chamber within the fluid impermeable barrier.

  • Publication number: 20230145365
    Abstract: Embodiments disclosed herein are directed to fluid collection assemblies including a fluid impermeable barrier having a sump and a base. An example fluid collection assembly includes a fluid impermeable barrier. The fluid impermeable barrier includes a sump and a base. For example, the sump may protrude outwardly from the base. The sump defines an opening and a chamber. The fluid collection assembly may include at least one porous material disposed in the chamber that at least partially covers the opening, such as a fluid permeable membrane extending across at least a portion of the opening and a support disposed in the chamber. The fluid collection assembly may also include an adhesive layer disposed on the base that is configured to secure the rest of the fluid collection assembly to at least a portion of a pubic region of an individual. Further, the fluid collection assembly may include a fluid outlet.

  • Publication number: 20080057571
    Abstract: A system for exposing a cell culture to a fluid shear force imparted by a fluid flow is provided. Specifically, various embodiments of the present invention provide flow chambers defining channels for retaining a cell culture in the fluid flow wherein the flow chambers may be removably disposed within a bioreactor system such that the flow chambers may be removed and/or replaced without disturbing the cell cultures retained therein or disposed elsewhere within the bioreactor system. The flow chambers are composed of a transparent material such that a user of the system may observe the development of the cell culture retained within the chamber as the cell culture is imposed to a fluid shear stress imparted by the fluid flow.
