Abstract: An external male catheter having an elastic sheath section and a receiving section connected together when the device is used as an external catheter but constructed to permit detachment of the receiving section, while retaining the sheath section in adhesive attachment to the wearer, to permit direct access to the urethral meatus for intermittent internal catherization.

Abstract: To function as intended, it is desirable that an external or condom catheter be properly applied and maintained upon the penis. An ill-fitting of the device commonly occurs when the catheter is being unrolled during application, and action which tends to push the free end of the penis away from an intended position within the conical body portion of the catheter. Addtionally, an unrolling of the catheter tends to rearwardly displace the relatively loose and relaxed penile skin, causing a displacement of the free end of the penis within the conical body portion once the penile skin returns to its relaxed state. A twisting or kinking of the catheter, leading to outlet obstruction and backflow problems, often results. The solution is one or a plurality of rearwardly or proximally extending flap members emerging preferably from within the conical body portion of the external catheter and adhesively securable to the penis prior to an unrolling the catheter.

Abstract: A safe, effective, sanitary device for draining of urine from a male patient which prevents spillage of the urine while preserving the comfort of the patient. The device is made of an elastomeric material which fits around the penis and leads to an exit tube which in turn leads to a suitable receptacle. The device is a vent critically located at a point close to the discharge from the penis and above the exit tube. The vent is covered with a membrane which permits the passage of air but prevents the passage of urine.

Abstract: A catheter for males having an inner and outer sheath in which a helically wound airtight tube formed on the flexible inner sheath provides an expandible and contractible compartment adapted to accommodate changes in an engaged penis.

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.

Abstract: A male contraceptive hood which is adhesively secured to the penis, the hood being initially rolled up and the interior of the hood being free of adhesive until it is unrolled. The hood has a thin sheath which serves as the contraceptive device and an outer cylindrical member which is initially rolled together with the thin sheath. The outer cylindrical member has an adhesive on a portion of its outer surface, separated from the outer surface by a release agent, the adhesive being transferred to the inner surface of the sheath as the hood is unrolled onto a penis. The outer member can then be removed leaving only the thin inner sheath on the penis. A projecting portion is provided on the outer member for grasping the outer member to remove it.In a preferred form, a lubricant is disposed between the sheath and the inner surface of the outer cylindrical member. This lubricant remains on the outer surface of the sheath to facilitate removal of the outer member and also to aid in intercourse.

Abstract: An external catheter, and the methods of making and using such a catheter, for a male urinary incontinence collection system, such system also including an adhesive attachment for holding the catheter in place. The catheter takes the form of a tubular sheath of thin elastic material having a cylindrical body section, a tapered neck section extending from the body section, and a reduced drainage tube section projecting from the neck section. Within the sheath, and constituting a unitary part thereof, is a tubular inner sleeve of soft elastic material having a distal end portion disposed within the neck section and a proximal end portion merging with the sheath's cylindrical body section. The sleeve tapers distally to define an annular space thereabout, and terminates in a reduced distal opening located at an intermediate point within the neck section.
