ABSTRACT:
The invention provides a urinary device which can be used with comfort and safety when walking, as well as when sitting or reclining, and is characterized as comprising an externally applied support device, and a periurethral adapter which acts as an outflow tract or conduit, said device and adapter being interconnected so as to permit vertical or up and down adjustments of the adapter relative to the urinary meatus of the wearer and also permits in and out changes or adjustments in the position of the periurethral adapter, thus enabling the adapter to be positioned and maintained in contract with the urinary meatus. The periurethral adapter is characterized by a pair of laterally spaced flanges which lie between the labia minora, and in which the posterior vertically extending surfaces of the flanges which are received between the labia minora and engage the urinary meatus, are positioned to assist in preventing leakage. The previously mentioned vertical adjustment of the periurethral adapter is effected by providing the surface of the support device with a plurality of vertically spaced apertures into which the exit conduit may be selectively fitted and retained and in and out adjustment of the adapter are achieved by providing the body of the outflow tract with a series of corrugations spaced lengthwise of the body thereof, any of which may form a seal with the surrounding aperture in the support device. The periurethral adapter may be used alone without the support device by use of a suitable adhesive applied to the laterally spaced flanges and vertically extending surfaces therebetween.
