Embodiment Construction

[0019] Embodiments disclosed herein relate to devices, systems and methods using fluid collection devices. In one embodiment, the fluid collection device comprises a fluid impermeable barrier at least partially defining the chamber. The fluid-impermeable barrier also defines an opening extending therethrough configured to be positioned adjacent to the female urethra or to position the male urethra therethrough. The fluid collection device also includes a channel extending between its inlet and outlet. The inlet is configured to be in fluid communication with (eg, fluidly coupled to) the gas source. The inlet may be in direct fluid communication (eg, directly attached to) or indirect fluid communication (eg, via at least one tube) with the gas source. The outlet is configured in fluid communication with the fluid storage container. The outlet may be in direct fluid communication or indirect fluid communication (eg, via at least one tube) with the fluid storage container. Th...

Abstract

In an embodiment, a fluid collection device includes a fluid impermeable barrier that at least partially defines a chamber. The fluid impermeable barrier also defines an opening extending therethroughthat is configured to be positioned adjacent to a female urethra or have a male urethra positioned therethrough. The fluid collection device also includes a channel extending between an inlet and outlet thereof. The inlet is configured to be in fluid communication with a gas source, and the outlet is configured to be in fluid communication with a fluid storage container. The outlet is positioneddownstream from the inlet. The. The channel also defines at least one aperture or passageway therein that allows an interior of the channel to be in fluid communication with the rest of the chamber.

Description

[0001] Cross References to Related Applications [0002] This application claims priority to U.S. Provisional Application No. 62 / 665,331, filed May 1, 2018, the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. Background technique [0003] The individual's mobility may be limited or impaired, making the typical voiding process challenging or impossible. For example, an individual may have had surgery or have a disability that impairs mobility. In another example, an individual may have restricted mobility conditions, such as those experienced by pilots, drivers, and workers in hazardous areas. Additionally, it may be desirable to collect fluid from an individual for monitoring purposes or clinical testing. [0004] Bedpans and catheters, such as Foley catheters, can be used to address some of these conditions. However, bedpans and urinary catheters have several problems associated with them. For example, bedpans can be prone to discomfort, spillage,...
