US Patent:

20090198151, Aug 6, 2009

Filed:

Apr 9, 2009

Appl. No.:

12/384836

Inventors:

Gary Dunkin - Glen Ridge NJ, US

International Classification:

A61B 5/20

US Classification:

600580

Abstract:

A urine collection device made of a flexible, liquid-impermeable vessel or collection bag in which there is a urine entry site and which is sealed on all other sides, against loss of urine. The vessel may be a plastic bag, hermetically sealed against entry or exit of liquid except for a liquid entry site to allow the inflow of urine from the patient into the bag. The bag may be propped up interiorly by the inclusion of a lightweight, flexible filler agent, such as a soft, interstitial material, preferably a non-absorbent or only partly absorbent material, to give depth to the device and accommodate, more directly, entry of liquid into the collection device. While the interstitial material is preferred, a solid flexible scaffolding structure, or individual spacers may be employed to keep the bag propped open.
