ABSTRACT:
A female urinary collection device includes a receptacle pouch for collecting urine. The receptacle pouch includes a first area for securing adhesive strip to each buttock of a user to create a relatively rigid engagement of the device with the body. In the upper zone, there is a stretch loop and foam belt for securing the pouch around the waist. Inside the receptacle pouch, there is a reservoir of adsorbent material with a wick which exits the receptacle pouch through a tubing connected to an orifice in the receptacle. The receptacle pouch fits around the labia majora of the user. In some cases there are two outlets from the receptacle. The orifices are spaced from each other such that when a patient is lying on either one of her sides with the receptacle in place the one orifice would be relatively above the other thereby facilitating drainage of urine from the receptacle when the patient is lying on either one of her sides.
