Abstract
Abstract A penile-cup of a character that has an open expanded upper end and an open lower constricted end forming a passageway to receive a penile catheter therethrough. The lower constricted end can be constricted about the catheter to prevent fluid leakage and restrain the catheter from upriding in the urethral canal and into the bladder. The preferred structure includes one or more adhesive coated elements extending from the expanded upper end of the penile-cup to afford securement of the penile-cup to the penile-shaft.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 3
Claim 1
Independent Claim
121 words
A sanitary covering for a penile-corona and shaft open at its top end and of such size and of sufficient length as to loosely enclose the penile-corona and a substantial portion of the penile-shaft, said penile-cup having a semi-cylindrical bottom wall provided with a restricted opening to receive a urinary catheter tube telescoped therethrough and into the penile-urethra with its distal end extending into the bladder, the conical wall of the penile-cup being pliable and of sufficient diameter to avoid contact with the penile-corona and the penile-shaft, means on the upper open end only of the penile-cup to contract its open end sufficiently to retain the penile-cup in position, and a normally closed drainage opening at the bottom of the penile-cup.
