Abstract
Disclosed embodiments relate to a collection device for bodily fluids comprising a tubular material with a first end and second end. A portion of the first end is configured to be secured to a user and the tubular material may be folded over itself to form a first sheath and a second sheath. In some applications, the fluid collection devices described may be secured to a user using interlocking loops.
Claims19
A fluid collection device comprising:
- a tubular member comprising a first end with a first opening and a second end with a second opening, a portion of the first end configured to be adhesively secured to a user and the second end configured to fold around the first end forming a first sheath and a second sheath wherein the second sheath is outboard of the first sheath and defines an interior volume;
- a first retaining loop having an inner diameter and an outer diameter, the first retaining loop configured to be positioned outboard of the first sheath and inboard of the second sheath;
- and a second retaining loop having an inner diameter and an outer diameter, the inner diameter of the second retaining loop being less than the outer diameter of the first retaining loop, wherein the first sheath is secured to the user using a separate material or an adhesive material;
- the second retaining loop is slid over the second sheath and engages with the first retaining loop;
- and wherein the second retaining loop is configured to attach to a harness.
