Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems and methods directed to an assisted fluid drainage system including one or more ejector vacuum pumps disposed in-line with the drainage tube. The one or more pumps can use a venturi effect vacuum pump to draw a fluid in and urge the fluid through the drainage tube to prevent the formation of dependent loops. Dependent loops can form within fluid drainage tubes when slack portions of tube create a positive incline. These dependent loops trap fluid and can create a retrograde flow, leading to various complications such as catheter associated urinary tract infections (“CAUTI”). Advantageously, the pumps can operate while the drainage lumen remains in fluid communication with the catheter. As such the pumps can operate continuously to prevent dependent loops from establishing.

Abstract: The hand-held urinal with stabilizing mechanism is a hand-held collection device that comprises a medical urinal, weight bar, and a semi-rigid connector. The medical urinal is modified through the addition of the weight bar and the semi-rigid connector. The weight bar and the semi-rigid connector act as a counterbalance that adjusts the location of the first moment of the hand-held urinal with stabilizing mechanism relative to the first moment of just the medical urinal. The addition of the weight bar and the semi-rigid connector reduces the change in the first moment of the hand-held urinal with stabilizing mechanism that is caused by the addition of urine to the medical urinal during the use of the hand-held urinal with stabilizing mechanism. This makes the hand-held urinal with stabilizing mechanism easier to hold during the collection of urine.
