ABSTRACT:
An improved incontinence fluid collection and disposal system consisting of a flexible fluid reservoir assembly mounted in an opening in a reusable brief is presented. The brief is either adjustable or one piece but in either case holds the fluid reservoir assembly snugly against the body to restrict fluid leakage. An adhesive layer, normally in the form of a gasket and affixed to a flange on an inlet end of the fluid reservoir assembly, can be used to hold the fluid reservoir in position against a layer in the brief. Additional gasket layer(s) in the form of other materials can also be utilized. The fluid reservoir assembly is, in its preferred embodiment, supplied with a gelatin agent to gelatinize the urine to make for easy removal and disposal. A bactericidal agent is supplied as part of the fluid reservoir assembly to prevent infections. An optional feature is a valve in the fluid reservoir assembly to which a collection tube can be attached for long term drainage. A light vacuum can be applied to the urine collection system to assist in urine evacuation from the fluid reservoir assembly.
