ABSTRACT:
This invention pertains to both an apparatus and a method for constructing and using an incontinent female urine collection device. A molding of a partly resilient material and having a cup-shape and a stepped bore in said receptacle, is provided. Several attachment configurations to receive and retain a resilient, soft, compliant outer-rim portion are shown. This rim portion is secured to a lip edge of the molding by adhesive and the like to provide a fluid-tight seal when this device is mounted in the folds of the user's labia. A first length of tubing is secured in a formed stepped bore as by adhesive and/or the like. The discharge end of this tubing is connected to a second tubing conductor leading to a urine collection receiver. A vent in this conductor is provided to prevent air binding. A panty garment having elasticized properties is made with a reinforced aperture sized to accept and retain the first length of discharge tubing. This reinforcement is adapted for resisting wear, raveling and enlargement. The resilient, compliant rim provides a soft, non-irritating fluid-tight seal of the worn collection device to the skin area of the female labia. The receptacle and rim portion thereof may be integrally formed of closed cell silicone foam.
