Abstract
A therapeutic bandage/dressing/covering for use with a human penis fitted with a catheter that extends from a human's bladder through, and beyond the opening from the penis glans, is placed over the distal end of the penis, including the glans, and onto the surface of the catheter where the catheter protrudes from the glans. The covering surface that lies against the skin of the penis, penis glans, and the distal opening in the penis, may be padded, flexible or, rigid, and, optionally, medicated and/or lubricated, to minimize skin abrasion and promote cleanliness/sterility of the glans, the contiguous penis shaft, and other delicate penile tissues.
Claims8
A substantially planar, therapeutic, one piece covering for use after insertion of a tubular catheter through a human's urethra into said human's bladder, said covering comprising a first, substantially planar first surface, and a second, substantially planar second surface, said covering being adapted to be placed over an interface between the opening at a distal end of a human penis, and an external surface of said tubular catheter, said tubular catheter extending through and beyond the meatus of said penis and through and beyond said opening, and where said covering wraps around, and is adapted to fasten to said interface, covering and cushioning said interface.
A substantially planar, therapeutic one piece covering for use after insertion of a tubular catheter through a human's urethra into said human's bladder, said covering comprising a first, substantially planar first surface, and a second, substantially planar second surface, said covering being adapted to be placed partly inside of, an interface between the opening at a distal end of a human penis, and an external surface of said tubular catheter that extends through and beyond the meatus of said penis and through and beyond said opening, said covering tapering at one end, and substantially conforming to an external surface of said catheter such that said covering can pass over the catheter's external surface into the urethra of said penis a short distance, to lie inside said urethra between the external surface of the catheter, and an internal surface of said urethra.
A substantially planar therapeutic one piece covering for use after insertion of a tubular catheter through a human's urethra into said human's bladder, comprising a first, substantially planar first surface on a first side of said covering, and a second, substantially planar second surface on a second side of said covering, said covering being adapted to be wrapped around, and fasten over, an interface between the glans of a human penis that includes a urethra having an internal surface, and said tubular catheter, said catheter extending through and beyond the opening of said glans, said covering cushioning said catheter/glans opening interface.
A substantially planar therapeutic one piece covering for use after insertion of a tubular catheter through a human's urethra into said human's bladder, comprising a first, substantially planar first surface on a first side of said covering, and a second, substantially planar second surface on a second side of said covering, said covering including a portion adapted to extend inside the urethra of a human penis, and around said tubular catheter, said catheter extending through and beyond the opening of the glans of said penis.
A substantially planar flexible one-piece covering for use after insertion of a tubular catheter through a human's urethra into said human's bladder, comprising a first side and a second side, wherein said first side includes a soft, non-abrasive, lubricated surface that is optionally impregnated with an antiseptic, and wherein said covering includes a first portion connected to a second portion by a neck positioned between said first portion and said second portion, said first and second portions being of sufficient size and shape to wrap over and around a human penis that includes a glans having a distal opening and that connects to a bladder of a human, and is fitted with a catheter that extends from said bladder of a human through said human's urethra and beyond the opening in the glans of said penis.
