ABSTRACT:
A male external catheter assembly for transporting and containing urine includes a condom having a discharge end and having a discharge port at the discharge end, a discharge tube having a tube first end and a tube second end, the tube first end being sealingly secured to the condom discharge end, a urine receiving vessel at the tube second end, a garment having a condom passing opening, a condom masking sleeve having a sleeve first end and a sleeve second end, the sleeve first end being positioned adjacent to the condom passing opening and substantially surrounding the condom discharge end for concealing the condom. The condom masking sleeve preferably includes a condom inspection slit and the condom preferably has an off-center discharge port at its tip. A method of male catheterization for a user wearing a garment having a condom passing opening includes the steps of fitting a condom having a discharge port onto the user's penis, extending the condom through the condom passing opening, extending a free end of a discharge tube extending from said discharge port to discharge urine into a urine collection vessel. The method may additionally include the step of placing a condom masking sleeve over the condom, outside the condom passing opening, to conceal the condom. The method may further include the steps of removing the discharge tube from the condom discharge port, and inserting a plug into the discharge port to prevent urine leakage from the condom.
