  • Patent number: 4640688
    Abstract: A urine collection catheter having a tubular portion open at its outer end and designed to be connected to a urine receptacle and a cup or cone shaped portion integrally connected to the inner end of said tubular portion, the cup shaped portion being of a shape to conform generally with that of the tip or head or glans of a typical penis. The cup shaped portion has a pressure sensitive adhesive on the inner surface to enable the catheter to adhere to the head of a penis when the catheter is pressed into engagement with the penis. The cup shaped portion is conical and is connected to the tubular member by a bulbous portion to receive surges of urine. In one version, the thickness of the cup shaped portion decreases from its outer to its inner end.

  • Patent number: 4187851
    Abstract: A sheath arrangement for a male urinal device having a urinal sheath of flexible material, designed for application to a penis for covering a substantial portion thereof lengthwise of the same and having a lower portion for connection to a urine receptacle, and a liner pad of resilient, compressible, deformable, waterproof material in the form of a strip of such material having a width sufficiently narrow to allow the strip to be wound spirally to extend over a portion of the penis beneath the sheath much greater in length than the width of the strip. The material of the pad is sufficiently deformable to ensure liquid tight engagement of the overlapping portions of the pad with the penis. Preferably, both the inner surface and the outer surface of the pad are adhesive so that not only is the liner pad held in place on the penis but the sheath is also held against movement with respect to the liner pad. The sheath arrangement is formed by spirally winding the liner pad firmly around the penis.
