ABSTRACT:
A noninvasive urinary drainage device is described which includes a urethral tube with a slanted upper end shaped to seal against the urethral area of a female user. This tube serves to support two stacked discs, each of which is flat, plate-like, and flexible. These two discs are configured to mechanically engage the labia minora and majora of the user. The lower end of the urethral tube is secured to a drainage tube adapted to conduct urine away from the user into a suitable receptacle. The urethral tube is held in place on the user by means of a pad which is provided with an indentation shaped to receive the larger of the two discs. This pad is formed of an absorbent material and can, for example, be held in place by means of a suitable belt. The ends of the pad are formed by an elastic net which supplies a gentle, even pressure holding the urinary drainage device in place.
