ABSTRACT:
A catheter drainage and protection unit for venting urine drainage and collecting urine samples while preventing inadvertent spillage of urine due to overflow. A slender cannula is entered longitudinally of the penis in the urethra, the distal end thereof reaching into the male bladder. A foley catheter integral with the distal end of the cannula is inflated by appropriate medicinal fluid to prevent dislodgement of the catheter from the bladder. A flexible cap is disposed about the head of the penis circumscribing the cannula, the narrow outlet of the flexible cap being coupled about one branch of a tube leading to a flexible collection container. The cannula exits the flexible cap in a concentric relationship therewith entering the end portion of a first branch of the drainage tubing. The cannula passes through an aperture in the first branch of the drainage assembly and is coupled to a second branch of the drainage tubing thereby providing for full drainage from the male bladder through the cannula as well as any fluid which may escape from the urethra about the exterior of the cannula.
