ABSTRACT:
An incontinence device includes a tray having a body with an opening extending through the body, having an annular ring surrounding the opening and extending away from the body to a terminal edge, and having at least one drain to drain material from within the tray body. The annular ring also has an annular groove that opens radially outward from the annular ring. The drain may include an array of slots that extend through the body. The annular groove may be defined between the tray body and an annular flange that extends radially outward from the annular ring at the terminal edge. The annular ring, annular flange, and tray body may be formed in one piece of a moldable material. A liquid barrier having an aperture extending through the barrier may further be included and coupled with the tray body to define a passage through each of the body opening and barrier aperture. An absorbent lining may be interposed between the liquid barrier and the tray body. The tray body may be formed with a concave side defining a hollow that faces away from each of the annular ring and the barrier aperture.
