Abstract
An externally applied urinary collection and diverting device for incontinent females; including a substantially closed housing having an opening for an ingress conduit with a flexible cup-like diaphragm to fit over the urethral opening to direct urine to the interior of the housing which has a further opening along the length thereof to direct the urine to a collection receptacle without leakage along the vulva area; the housing is of such relatively small size as to be substantially self supporting by entrapment by at least partial covering thereof by the labial folds when positioned for use, and the housing may have attached thereto a perineal pad for similar entrapment thereof in the fourchette area for further support; and with ambulatory females, the housing is shaped to removably and adjustably receive a vaginal insert for still further stabilization and support of the device.
