ABSTRACT:
A device for collecting fluid discharged from female organs. The device includes a flexible pad having an elongated central opening to register with the female pudendum. Ridges are formed on the inner surface of the pad, on either side of the opening, and are adapted to exert pressure on the area bordering the labia majora to urge the labia to an open condition. Corresponding edges of the ridges at one end of the pad are spaced apart to provide a gap to receive the clitoris, while corresponding ends of the ridges at the opposite end of the pad are connected together at a junction which is adapted to engage the navicular fossa. In one form of the invention, in which the device is utilized to collect urine, a bag or receptacle is connected to the opening in the pad and the lower end of the receptacle defines an outlet that is connected through a conduit to a vacuum pump. A liquid sensor is located at the outlet and senses the presence of urine to start operation of the pump and remove the urine from the receptable. When used as a sanitary napkin, an absorbent material is located within the pad and communicates with the central opening so that menstrual fluid can freely flow into the absorbent material and be absorbed therein.
