A device suitable for collecting and transporting urine away from the body of a person including a casing defining an internal volume and an opening. The casing can include a compressible material which is elastically deformable when the device is disposed in a pubic region of a female user. The device can include a porous material disposed within the internal volume and in fluid communication with the opening. The porous material can wick, draw, or direct fluid, such as urine, away from the pubic region of the female user and into the internal volume. The device can include a fluid conduit disposed within the internal volume and enabling extraction of fluid from the internal volume. The device can include a fluid impermeable housing disposed within the internal volume and adhered or otherwise affixed to the casing.

Apparatus with compressible casing for receiving discharged urine

Embodiments disclosed herein include fluid collection assemblies with at least one securement body. In an embodiment, a fluid collection assembly is disclosed. The fluid collection assembly includes a fluid impermeable barrier at least defining a chamber, at least one opening, and a fluid outlet. The fluid collection assembly also includes at least one porous material disposed in the chamber and at least one securement body configured to limit movement of the fluid collection assembly relative to a region about a urethral opening of a patient. The at least one securement body includes at least one of a plurality of fibers exhibiting an average lateral dimension of about 5 μm or less, a plurality of suction cups, or at least one friction material exhibiting a coefficient of static friction that is greater than at least a portion of the at least one porous material.

Fluid collection assemblies including at least one securement body

An example female fluid collection assembly includes a fluid impermeable barrier. The fluid impermeable barrier at least defines a chamber and an opening. The female fluid collection assembly also includes at least one porous material disposed in the chamber. The porous material extends across the opening. In an embodiment, the portion of the porous material that extends across the opening include a protrusion that extends outwardly from the opening. In an embodiment, the porous material includes at least one expandable material that is configured to expand (e.g., increase in volume) when the expandable material exposed to one or more bodily fluids (e.g., urine).

Fluid collection assemblies including at least one of a protrusion or at least one expandable material

Examples relate to fluid collection devices, systems, and methods of collecting fluid from wearers. The fluid collection devices include a retention means for maintaining the position of the fluid collection device with respect to the wearer.

Variable fit fluid collection devices, systems, and methods

An example device suitable for collecting and transporting urine away from the body of a person may include a fluid impermeable housing defining an internal volume. The device can include a porous material disposed within the internal volume. The fluid impermeable housing can define an opening in fluid communication with the internal volume. The porous material includes a contact surface and first and second sidewalls. The sidewalls can extend from the contact surface, for example, substantially orthogonal to the contact surface, or laterally and inwardly from the contact surface at an acute angle.
