External urine collection system and related method

An external urine collection system for urine excreted by a user through the user's external urethral orifice, the collection system comprising:

• a posterior end and an anterior end defined with respect to an anatomical orientation of the collection system when the collection system is worn by the user, with the posterior end positioned posterior of an external urethral orifice of the user and the anterior end positioned anterior of the external urethral orifice of the user;
• a longitudinal axis extending between the posterior end and the anterior end;
• a sleeve having an interface surface defining an open end, the interface surface comprising a curved surface that corresponds to a curvature of an external surface of the user surrounding the external urethral orifice of the user, the sleeve defining a sleeve outlet, opposite the open end;
• an adhesive configured to secure the curved surface to the external surface of the user around the external urethral orifice of the user;
• a removable cup coupled with the sleeve at the sleeve outlet, and including a cup inlet and a collection chamber, wherein the cup comprises:
• a wall defining the collection chamber and including an outlet through which urine in the collection chamber exits the cup, wherein the outlet is disposed between the anterior and posterior ends and the outlet is spaced from and disposed opposite to the sleeve outlet;
• and
• a drain fluidly connected with the outlet through which urine in collection chamber can exit the cup, the drain projecting from the wall in a direction transverse to the longitudinal axis;
• and
• a releasable coupling between the cup and the sleeve, the releasable coupling extending around a periphery of the sleeve outlet and the cup and forming a liquid tight seal for the flow of urine through the sleeve and into the collection chamber of the cup;
• wherein the cup can be uncoupled and removed distally from the sleeve while the sleeve remains secured via the adhesive to the external surface of the user.
