ABSTRACT:
To function as intended, it is desirable that an external or condom catheter be properly applied and maintained upon the penis. An ill-fitting of the device commonly occurs when the catheter is being unrolled during application, and action which tends to push the free end of the penis away from an intended position within the conical body portion of the catheter. Addtionally, an unrolling of the catheter tends to rearwardly displace the relatively loose and relaxed penile skin, causing a displacement of the free end of the penis within the conical body portion once the penile skin returns to its relaxed state. A twisting or kinking of the catheter, leading to outlet obstruction and backflow problems, often results. The solution is one or a plurality of rearwardly or proximally extending flap members emerging preferably from within the conical body portion of the external catheter and adhesively securable to the penis prior to an unrolling the catheter. In the preferred embodiment, an external catheter (10) of suitably flexible material comprises a tubular forward or distal portion (12), an intermediately positioned conical body portion (14), and a thin-walled rearward proximal portion (16) prepaired in an inital rolled up attitude, as is common to the art. Additionally, the catheter comprises a pair of longitudinally extending flap members (24a and 24b) of unitary construction with the device and emerging from fixed locations along the inner surface (18) of the conical body portion. The flap members are provided with an adhesive coating on their inner surface and allow a first attachment of the device to the penis prior to an unrolling the rearward portion thereover. Removable cover slips (28a and 28b) are provided to protect the adhesive surface of each flap member and are removed prior to the application of the device.
