Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim 182 words
A urine drainage collection system, comprising: a drainage container having a chamber for collection of liquid therein; a flexible tubular discharge section having an outer end in fluid communication with a lower portion of said chamber for discharge of collected urine; a clamp on said tubular section for releasably opening and closing the tubular section; and a tubular anti-septic device means containing an antiseptic capsule in fluid communication with the outer end of the tubular discharge section, said device having an annular wall and inner and outer sections forming a cavity to contain said antiseptic capsule, base portion means at the outer end of said tubular device means forming at least one well portion, said well portion acting to trap minor portions of urine when urine is discharged from said container chamber, a pocket means formed by projections at the inner section of the tubular device to act as a barrier trap against the passage of urine back to the collection bag when the antiseptic device and the flexible tubular discharge section are inverted from a discharge condition to a storage condition.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 182 words
A urine drainage collection system, comprising: a drainage container having a chamber for collection of liquid therein; a flexible tubular discharge section having an outer end in fluid communication with a lower portion of said chamber for discharge of collected urine; a clamp on said tubular section for releasably opening and closing the tubular section; and a tubular anti-septic device means containing an antiseptic capsule in fluid communication with the outer end of the tubular discharge section, said device having an annular wall and inner and outer sections forming a cavity to contain said antiseptic capsule, base portion means at the outer end of said tubular device means forming at least one well portion, said well portion acting to trap minor portions of urine when urine is discharged from said container chamber, a pocket means formed by projections at the inner section of the tubular device to act as a barrier trap against the passage of urine back to the collection bag when the antiseptic device and the flexible tubular discharge section are inverted from a discharge condition to a storage condition.
