  • Publication number: 20230270584
    Abstract: A wearable urinary collection apparatus includes an elongate, tubular, flexible, collection receptacle which receives and stores urine therein, a constriction formed at an intermediate position of the collection receptacle which defines a constricted opening at the intermediate position such that the urine which a user discharges into the collection receptacle must pass through the constricted opening, a short tubular member having opposite open ends and a diameter which is smaller than a diameter of the collection receptacle and having one of opposite open ends connected at the constriction in alignment with the constricted opening, and a check valve provided at the one of the opposite open ends of the tubular member adjacent to the constricted opening and which is configured to permit urine to freely pass from the constricted opening into the tubular member, and to block urine from flowing from the tubular member into the constricted opening.

  • Patent number: 11224535
    Abstract: A wearable urinary collection apparatus for being worn by a user, including an elongate, watertight, flexible receptacle having an entrance opening near one end thereof and an elongate, flexible backflow inhibiting device which is connected to and extends within a portion of the flexible receptacle and also includes an entrance opening to receive the user's penis therein. At least one of the entrance opening of the receptacle and the entrance opening of the backflow inhibiting device is configured to receive the user's penis therein such that urine discharged from the penis flows through the backflow inhibiting device into the receptacle. The receptacle and the backflow inhibiting device are each formed of flexible plastic sheet material and are each configured to collapse flat when not in use, and the backflow inhibiting device has constrictions formed therein for constricting and diverting flow of urine therethrough.

  • Publication number: 20190374373
    Abstract: A wearable ambulatory device including a receptacle made of flexible, waterproof, durable polymer membrane for urinary incontinence for both sexes and a fabric support sleeve which supports the receptacle therein and extends between a user's upper thighs to front and back of the user's lower body, and is inconspicuously supported on the user's body. The receptacle may have sufficient capacity to receive and store all of the urine from a full bladder, may include a closable discharge opening, and may be selectively, partially exposed outside of the fabric support sleeve for emptying urine and reused without removing the ambulatory device from the user's body. The ambulatory device is easy to use, comfortable and prevents direct contact of urine with the user's body.

  • Publication number: 20170340475
    Abstract: A urinary receptacle includes an elongate, main body having a closed upper end and lower end; a tubular port connected to the main body and which to receives a user's penis therein in a fluid-tight manner, a urine collection receptacle connectable to the lower end of the main body receives and stores the urine therein; and a fastener secures the main body to the user or a garment worn by the user. The components are formed of flexible, waterproof material and are collapse flat against a user's body when not in use. An end opening of tubular port is flush with the wall of the main body, the port projects into the main body from the end opening, and an elastic material is provided around a circumference of a receiving end of the port which urges the circumference radially inward of the tubular port.

  • Patent number: 8529432
    Abstract: A device configured for being implanted in a male patient's body for assisting the patient to achieve an erection. The device includes at least two rods and an interconnecting structure. The rods can be selectively deployed to the penis shaft when an erection is to be achieved and retracted away from the penis shaft when the patient does not need to achieve an erection. The interconnecting structure is joined to the rods and is configured to stabilize the rods while the rods are in the penis shaft.
