ABSTRACT:
Pubovaginal appliances for the collection of urine from women suffering from incontinence includes a pad configured to engage the pubic region. A bifurcated support body extends posteriorly along the contour of the perineum and terminates in a pair of flexible rods which are bent or carried anteriorly and which diverge caudally. Each rod carries a cylinder or insert proportioned to be received together in the vaginal cavity and are biased by the rods toward the pad to provide a self-holding force for the appliance between the pubis and vagina. A urine deflecting hood and collection cup are carried on the body at the opening formed by the bifurcation, and the hood is urged into contact with the wearer. Two embodiments are described. One has a funnel adopted for connection to a collection bag and the other has an access door for insertion and removal of absorbent material.
