Abstract:
A non-invasive female urine collection device includes an elongated pad adapted to be positioned comfortably between the legs of a female patient and against the patient's perineal area. The pad includes a flat, planar base having an outlet extending between an inner surface and an outer surface thereof. A flexible membrane is positioned above the inner surface of the base and has an outer circumferential edge attached to the base, preferably along an outer edge of the base. The flexible membrane has an inner circumferential edge which defines an open area therein, with the inner circumferential edge of the flexible membrane surrounding the outlet, preferably immediately adjacent the outlet, and attached to the inner surface of the base. The inner circumferential edge and outer circumferential edge of the flexible membrane are spaced apart from each other that a chamber is formed between the flexible membrane and the base. The chamber can be inflated and form a comfortable cushion when the flexible membrane is positioned against a patient's perineal area.
