ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides a urine collection device for use by a female having a reservoir for receiving and temporarily collecting urine originating from the female. The reservoir includes a first opening end for insertion within the confines of the labia minor of the female such that the first opening end surrounds the urethral orifice of the female and is positioned between the clitoris and vaginal orifice of the female. The reservoir also includes a second opening end which is spaced from the first opening end and forms a passageway for draining urine from the reservoir. The first opening end of the reservoir is elliptic in shape and includes a protruding rim for forming a seal between the first opening end and the tissue surrounding the urethral orifice of the female. The invention further provides a unique waist belt and urine collection bag for use with the urine collection device.
