Male external urinary catheter

Claim 2

A male external urinary catheter comprising: a truncated sheath member having on one end an opening through which a penis is adapted to be inserted, said opening being capable of encompassing the base of the penis; an elongated casing, affixed about the perimeter of the other end of said sheath member, said casing having a large opening in the upper portion thereof in the end adjacent said sheath member to receive the penis therethrough; a platform intermediately disposed within said casing, and positioned in alignment with the lower extent of said upper casing portion opening, upon which said penis is adapted to rest after insertion said platform acting to further partition an enclosed lower well compartment within said casing, said platform having a series of drainage openings between itself and the casing sides; a funnel member affixed to an aperture within the base of said lower well compartment; and means for affixing said catheter to the body of the patient.

Claim 3

An apparatus as described in claim 1 further including means for draining said lower well compartment comprising a drainage tube affixed to said funnel leading and connected to a urine container.

Claim 4

An apparatus as described in claim 1 wherein the means for affixing said apparatus to the patient includes straps attached to the perimeter of said sheath member opening.

Claim 5

An apparatus as recited in claim 1 wherein said platform has incorporated within its surface structure hydrophobic material to repel urine which may fall upon it.

Claim 6

An apparatus as recited in claim 1 wherein the edges of said platform forming drainage openings slope downward to assist in the drainage of urine into said lower well compartment.

Claim 7

An apparatus as recited in claim 1 wherein said sheath member portion surrounding said opening is pliable and includes a lower recessed portion to conform to the lower base of the penis of the male anatomy.

Claim 8

A male external urinary catheter comprising: an oblique casing, of the type substantially similar to an elliptic paraboloid having a flattened lower base surface, having a first casing end of a substantially circular nature; a platform intermediately disposed within said casing, being in a parallel plane with said flattened lower base surface, having a series of drainage openings therein about its edges abutting said casing, said platform partitioning an upper casing portion and an enclosed lower well area; the upper portion of said first circular casing end being, above said platform, a semi circular opening to receive a penis whereby said penis may rest upon said platform, said casing end being enclosed below said platform; a sheath extending about the circumference of said first casing end and being affixed thereto narrowingly radiating to an adjustable opening through which said penis may be inserted to rest upon said platform, said opening encompassing the base of said penis; and means for draining said casing lower well compartment.
