AN EXTERNAL URINARY CATHETER ASSEMBLY

摘要

An external urinary catheter assembly for the relief of male urinary incontinence comprises an inner member (1), which is arrangeable, in use, under the foreskin (6) of a penis and has in its distal end a discharge conduit (5) for connection with a hose, and an outer holder member (8) for circumferential engagement, in use, with the external side of the foreskin (6). The outer holder member (8) is formed in a distal end with an opening (9) for the discharge conduit (5) of the inner member (1). Connection means (10) is provided to form a stretchable link between the outer holder member (8) and discharge conduit (5) and/or the inner member to maintain the circumferential engagement of the outer holder member (8) with the external side of the foreskin (6) under tensile load conditions acting on the discharge conduit (5), e.g. from the weight of the urine collection bag connected with the discharge conduit (5).
