Using wicking material to collect urine from a male for transport

Abstract

A device for collecting urine flowing from a penis in such a manner that the urine can be transported from the device as the urine is being collected. The device includes a flexible layer of porous material; flexible wicking material disposed on one side of the layer of porous material; and a flexible layer of impermeable material secured to the periphery of the other side of the layer of porous material and so covering the other side of the layer of porous material as to define a chamber between the layer of porous material and the layer of impermeable material. Urine can be collected within the chamber for transport. The chamber has a port for receiving a tube so that urine collected within the chamber can be transported from the chamber by being drawn from the chamber when a partial vacuum is applied within the chamber via the received tube. The combination of the wicking material, the layer of porous material and the layer of impermeable material is so dimensioned and configured as to provide a receptacle for receiving the head of a penis.

1 . A device that can be used to so collect urine flowing from the penis of a person or an animal in such a manner that the urine can be transported from the device as the urine is being collected, the device comprising:
 a flexible layer of porous material;   flexible wicking material disposed on one side of the layer of porous material; and   a flexible layer of impermeable material secured to the periphery of the other side of the layer of porous material and so covering the other side of the layer of porous material as to define a chamber between the layer of porous material and the layer of impermeable material, within which chamber urine can be collected for transport, with the chamber having a port for receiving a tube so that urine collected within the chamber can be transported from the chamber by being drawn from the chamber when a partial vacuum is applied within the chamber via a said received tube;   wherein the combination of the wicking material, the layer of porous material and the layer of impermeable material is so dimensioned and configured as to provide a receptacle for receiving the head of a penis, from which receptacle urine flowing from said penis can be drawn through the wicking material and the porous material into the chamber when a said partial vacuum is applied within the chamber via said received tube.
