Abstract: The invention provides medical device with a retention section for anchoring the medical device in the body of a living being, a drainage section for draining fluids from the body, e.g. urine, and a tip which facilitates insertion into the body. During the anchoring of the medical device, the tip is retracted toward a distal end of the device and for improving the users control over the position of the tip relative to other parts of the device and thus to ensure the free flow of fluids through the device, indicating means is provided to give a visual, audible, or tactile indication of at least a first position of the tip relative to the remaining part of the medical device.

Abstract: An external urinary catheter for the relief of male urinary incontinence comprises a contact member (1) adapted for arrangement in engagement with at least the extreme portion of a penis, said contact member (1) being connected to a discharge conduit (7) via an opening in the distal end section of the contact member. The catheter is provided with an aperture (8) in a distal part of the contact member (1) or in the discharge conduit (7). A membrane (9) capable of selectively passing gases but retaining urine is fastened to the surface surrounding the aperture (8). The membrane (9) is at least partly protected by a shield (10). At least one vent (11) for allowing gases to be in substantially unhindered contact with the external surface of the membrane (9) is arranged in the catheter.
