Male condom catheter having adhesive on rolled portion

Abstract

A male urinal device (10) is disclosed. Device (10) includes a laminated sheath (14) having an inner layer (26) of latex rubber and outer layer (28) of silicone rubber. Adhesive (24) is stored between the inner and outer layers (26, 28) when sheath (14) is rolled. As sheath (14) is unrolled, adhesive (24) is released from outer layer (28) and adheres to inner layer (26). Upon pressing sheath (14) to a penis (12), a leak-free bond is created.

What is claimed is: 
     
       1. A male condom catheter designed to be connected to a urine collection means and comprising a thin cylindrical sheath member of resilient material rolled outwardly upon itself to form consecutively larger rolls, said sheath member having an outer surface and an inner surface designed to engage a penis when the catheter is unrolled, and the outer surface of the sheath member having prior to the rolling thereof a layer of pressure sensitive adhesive over a substantial portion thereof with a release layer between said adhesive and the outer surface of the sheath member so that as the sheath member is rolled up the pressure sensitive adhesive on the outer surface is in direct contact with the inner surface of an adjacent roll so that as the sheath member is unrolled the adhesive on the outer surface is transferred to the porton of the inner surface in engagement with the outer surface, without rolling the catheter inside out, to cause the inner surface to adhere to the penis over which the sheath is placed.   
     
     
       2. A device in accordance with claim 1 wherein said release layer is a silicon rubber layer of material. 
     
     
       3. The male condom catheter of claim 1 in which the thin sheath member has an integral conical portion of thicker material which is designed to be connected to a urine collection means. 
     
     
       4. The male condom catheter of claim 1 in which the adhesive is between the inner and outer surfaces of one or more consecutive rolls so that the adhesive is covered by the inner surface when the sheath is in rolled up condition. .[.5. The method of applying a male condom catheter to a penis comprising: forming a thin cylindrical sheath member of resilient material, said sheath member having an outer surface and an inner surface designed to engage a penis, and the outer surface of the sheath member having a layer of pressure sensitive adhesive over a substantial portion thereof with a release layer between said adhesive and the outer surface of the sheath member;   rolling said sheath member outwardly upon itself to form consecutively larger rolls so that the pressure sensitive adhesive on the outer surface is in direct contact with the inner surface of an adjacent roll;   unrolling the sheath member onto the penis so that the adhesive is transferred to the portion of the inner surface which was in engagement with the outer surface in the rolled up condition; and   pressing said unrolled sheath member against the penis to cause the adhesive to adhere to the penis to form a bond between the sheath member   
     
     
        and the penis..]. .Iadd.6.  A male condom catheter to be adhesively secured to a penis and designed to be connected to a urine collection means, said catheter comprising a thin, flexible cylindrical member of resilient material rolled outwardly upon itself to form a single roll with consecutively larger turns, the outer surface of the cylindrical member having an adhesive release layer thereon and said turns having a layer of pressure sensitive adhesive therebetween in contact with the inner surface of the cylindrical member and in contact with the release layer so that upon said cylindrical member being unrolled onto a penis, the adhesive releases from the adhesive release layer due to the unrolling of the cylindrical member and adheres only to the inner surface of the cylindrical member to cause the cylindrical member to adhere to the penis. 
     
     
        .Iaddend. .Iadd.7.  The catheter of claim 6 in which the adhesive release layer and the adhesive extend over at least one turn of the roll. 
     
     
        .Iaddend. .Iadd.8.  The catheter of claim 6 in which there is a bulbous surge chamber secured to the outlet side of the cylindrical member. .Iaddend. .Iadd.9. The catheter of claim 6 in which the adhesive release layer is formed of silicon rubber. .Iaddend.
