ABSTRACT:
Device for use by males with incontinence problems, has an elastomeric urine collecting compartment sized to hold a quantity of urine which can be emptied when desired by removing a screw-off cap or pull-out plug at a men's urinal. Collecting compartment (23) is isolated from the penis by a skin shield (25) which incorporates a non-return valve (50) which allows urine to pass unrestricted into the collecting compartment, but prevents voided urine returning back to the penis inside the skin shield. An elastomeric tubular portion (37) is sized to fit snugly onto the penis shaft to prevent leakage and to retain its position in place on the penis. If necessary, the pressure of the tubular portion against the penis shaft can be increased by using an additional elastic `hook and loop` VELCRO.sup.TM band (69). When fitting the catheter, it's open end (21) can be stretched over an applicator ring (61) making open end (21) and tubular portion (37) open enough for the user to slip the catheter in place over and onto the penis, after which the catheter is disengaged from the applicator ring. The ring is then removed entirely from the catheter, leaving the catheter securely in place.
