ABSTRACT:
A device suitable for the collection of urine from a male, which device comprises a sheath (1) suitable for being fitted about a flaccid penis and comprising a thin flexible member of elastic material which is open at one end and is joined at the other end with a drainage tube portion (4) for connection with a collecting means. The sheath has an inner surface provided with a layer (3) of pressure sensitive adhesive and an outer surface and is rolled outwardly upon itself towards the drainage tube end (4) with successively larger turns, to form a torus (5). A separate thin flexible band (2) is interposed between successive turns of the rolled torus and has an adhesive rejecting surface facing the layer of pressure sensitive adhesive. A portion of the band (2a) extends outwardly from the turns of said rolled torus (5) so as to provide a free edge forming a gripping portion of the band and the band is in substantially non-adhering contact with the outer surface of the sheath, so that upon the sheath being unrolled onto a penis, the band (2) is removed from the sheath (1). The outwardly extending portion of the band (2a) preferably has the form of a skirt. The device avoids the numerous problems connected with silicone dipping, is easy to use and thanks to the gripping portion the adhesive is released from the release coated band without problems and the band is easily removed from the sheath.
