Fluid collection assemblies including at least one length adjusting feature

A fluid collection system, comprising:

• a fluid storage container configured to hold one or more bodily fluids;
• a fluid collection assembly including:
• a distal region;
• at least one proximal end region spaced from the distal region;
• at least one intermediate portion extending from the at least one proximal end region to the distal region;
• at least one length adjusting feature extending from the at least one proximal end region towards the distal region, the at least one length adjusting feature configured to allow a length of the fluid collection assembly to change;
• a fluid impermeable barrier forming at least a portion of the distal region, the at least one proximal end region, and the at least one intermediate portion, the fluid impermeable barrier at least defining a chamber, an opening at the proximal end region, and a fluid outlet;
• and
• at least one porous material disposed in the chamber, the at least one porous material configured to receive bodily fluids and move the bodily fluids towards an interior of the chamber and the fluid outlet, the at least one porous material including at least one porous material slit adjacent to the at least one length adjusting feature, the at least one porous material including one or more edges adjacent to the proximal end region and adjacent to the at least one length adjusting feature;
• wherein the fluid impermeable barrier includes at least one inwardly extending portion extending distally into the chamber from an exterior portion of the fluid impermeable barrier, the at least one inwardly extending portion at least partially covering the one or more edges adjacent to the proximal end region and the one or more edges adjacent to the at least one porous material slit;
• and
• a vacuum source fluidly coupled to one or more of the fluid storage container or the fluid collection assembly via the conduit, the vacuum source configured to draw fluid from the fluid collection assembly via the conduit.
