ABSTRACT:
A portable catheter for use by females suffering from urinary incontinency. A short catheter is held in place extending a short distance into the urethra by means which permits the wearer substantially full freedom of movement. A relatively stiff shield is fastened to an undergarment in a manner holding the shield in position adjacent to the wearer's urethral and vaginal openings. A plug means is fastened to the shield in a manner permitting it to be inserted into the vagina to help hold the shield in position. The generally tubular catheter includes locking washer means riding in a slot in said shield allowing the spacing between the catheter and vaginal plug to be varied to accommodate varying physical dimensions. A drain plug extends from the external end of the catheter to drain urine to a conventional collection bag which may, for example, be secured to the user's leg. In use, the user slips the garment over her legs, bringing the vaginal plug and catheter end into proximity to the vagina and urethra, respectively. The catheter and vaginal plug are then inserted into the respective openings, the garment is pulled into comfortable engagement with the body, and the catheter is connected to the urine collecting bag. The user can then be confident that the catheter will remain in place despite body movements.
