ABSTRACT:
A urinary collector for women comprising a urinary collector body formed of soft, flexible water-proof material, the collector body including a first or upper portion forming a water-permeable skin contacting face having a cup-like member associated therewith for fitting snugly to the vulva and receiving a urinary flow. The cup-like member is formed of a flexible water permeable material so as to allow urine to pass therethrough. The collector body also includes a second opposite or lower portion forming a urinary flow chamber, the urinary flow chamber being separated from the skin contacting face by a water impermeable membrane. A moisture absorbent material is located between the water impermeable membrane and the skin contacting face. The urinary flow chamber is packed with a hydrophobic material having a plurality of passages therethrough and is also provided with a urinary discharge outlet, the packed hydrophobic material maintaining the shape of the device when fitted for use. Urine discharged into the cup-like member passes therethrough into the urinary flow chamber. Once in the urinary flow chamber, the flow of urine through the urinary flow chamber is buffered by passage through the hydrophobic material and is thereafter discharged from the urinary flow chamber through the urinary discharge outlet.
