Fluid collection device

Abstract

Disclosed embodiments relate to a collection device for bodily fluids comprising a tubular material with a first end and second end. A portion of the first end is configured to be secured to a user and the tubular material may be folded over itself to form a first sheath and a second sheath. In some applications, the fluid collection devices described may be secured to a user using interlocking loops.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A fluid collection device comprising:
 a tubular member comprising a first end with a first opening and a second end with a second opening, a portion of the first end configured to be adhesively secured to a user and the second end configured to fold around the first end forming a first sheath and a second sheath wherein the second sheath is outboard of the first sheath and defines an interior volume;   a first retaining loop having an inner diameter and an outer diameter, the first retaining loop configured to be positioned outboard of the first sheath and inboard of the second sheath; and   a second retaining loop having an inner diameter and an outer diameter, the inner diameter of the second retaining loop being less than the outer diameter of the first retaining loop.   
     
     
         2 . The fluid collection device of  claim 1 , wherein the second sheath is configured to attach to a fluid collection bag. 
     
     
         3 . The fluid collection device of  claim 1 , wherein the second retaining loop is configured to attach to a harness. 
     
     
         4 . The fluid collection device of  claim 3 , further comprising a harness and a strap, the harness configured to be positioned around a user and the strap configured to connect the second retaining loop to the harness. 
     
     
         5 . The fluid collection device of  claim 4 , wherein the strap is elastic. 
     
     
         6 . The fluid collection device of  claim 1 , wherein the first sheath is configured to extend beyond the glans of the penis and allow a drain tube to pass through the first opening. 
     
     
         7 . The fluid collection device of  claim 6 , wherein the drain tube is configured to drain fluid into the interior volume defined by the second sheath. 
     
     
         8 . The fluid collection device of  claim 1 , wherein the first sheath comprises a flutter valve. 
     
     
         9 . The fluid collection device of  claim 1 , wherein the first sheath comprises a recessed flutter valve. 
     
     
         10 . The fluid collection device of  claim 1 , wherein the second sheath comprises at least one flutter valve. 
     
     
         11 . The fluid collection device of  claims 1 , further comprising a one-way valve connecting the second sheath to a drain tube and wherein the drain tube is connected to a fluid collection bag. 
     
     
         12 . The fluid collection device of  claim 1 , further comprising a fluid collection bag comprising tongue and groove seals. 
     
     
         13 . The fluid collection device of  claim 1 , wherein the first retaining loop is configured to be affixed around a penis and avoid substantial compression of the penis. 
     
     
         14 . The fluid collection device of  claim 1 , further comprising an adhesive layer positioned at the first end of the tubular member. 
     
     
         15 . A male urine collection device comprising:
 a tubular member with a first end and a second end; the tubular member configured to fold over on itself to form a first sheath and a second sheath, wherein the first sheath is configured to be positioned around a penis and the second sheath is outboard of the first sheath;   wherein the second sheath defines an interior volume and is configured to in fluid communication with a fluid collection bag; and   a first retaining loop with an inner diameter and an outer diameter, the first retaining loop configured to be positioned around the penis outboard of the first sheath and inboard of the second sheath, the first retaining loop configured to avoid compression of the penis.   
     
     
         16 . The male urine collection device of  claim 15 , wherein a first opening in the first sheath is configured to allow an indwelling catheter drain tube to pass through the first opening and wherein a second opening in the second sheath is configured to be secured around the drain tube. 
     
     
         17 . The male urine collection device of  claim 15 , further comprising a second retaining loop having an inner diameter and an outer diameter, the outer diameter of the first retaining loop being greater than the inner diameter of the second retaining loop, and the second retaining loop configured to be attached to a harness by a strap. 
     
     
         18 . A male urine collection device comprising:
 a first sheath with a first end comprising a first opening and a second end comprising a second opening, the first opening configured to allow the penis to be inserted into the first end of the first sheath, the second end configured to extend past the glans of the penis, and the second opening comprising a flutter valve; and   a second sheath attached to the exterior of the first sheath, the second sheath outboard of the second end of the first sheath and defining an interior volume.   
     
     
         19 . The male urine collection device of  claim 18 , wherein the first end of the first sheath comprises one or more vent openings to allow airflow to a portion of the penis. 
     
     
         20 . The male urine collection device of  claim 18 , wherein the second end of the first comprises an adhesive layer.
