ABSTRACT:
Urethral catheter holder with anchoring device is a device that has two semicylindric elements connected together by a flexible living hinge on one edge and a single non adjustable male and female locking tooth on the other edge opposite to the living hinge. It has two semi-cylindrical rim extensions at one end of the device that extend to a diameter larger than said semicylindric elements. There is a compressible foam pad lining the inner surface of the semicylindric elements. The rim extension for male use is taller than that for female use and is lined with a layer of foam pad impregnated with antimicrobial agent. Each of the foam pad on the rim extension in the female use device is made half of a doughnut shape and is impregnated with antimicrobial agent. There is a wedge defect on the rim extension at the living hinge side and is covered by a curve extension. In a male use device, there is(are) a single or double telescoping condom(s) with both ends opened and a slit on one side of the condom(s). In a female use device the condom is substituted with a perineal shield or the anchoring straps may directly attach to the outer edge of the rim extension. The anchoring straps in both the male and female devices further attach to a waist belt.
