ABSTRACT:
The invention features a fluid drainage element which includes a housing having integral front and side walls and a back wall adapted to fit in fluid communication with a urine collection bag, the walls defining a chamber in the housing. The housing also contains a tubular section integral with the front wall, the tubular section including an inner wall defining a lumen which is in fluid communication with the chamber. The inner wall includes one or more ribs arranged circumferentially and shaped so as to maximize the cross-sectional area of the inner wall, act as an integral tubing stop, and additionally to promote capillary flow of fluid through the tubular section and into the chamber.
