Fluid collection assemblies including an extension

A fluid collection system, comprising:

• a fluid collection assembly including:
• a fluid impermeable layer including a proximal end region and a distal end region spaced from the proximal end region;
• the fluid impermeable layer defining at least a chamber, at least one opening, and a fluid outlet;
• at least one porous material disposed in the chamber;
• and
• an extension extending from or near the distal end region, the extension configured to be positioned in a gluteal cleft on an individual, the extension at least one of:
• reversibly attachable to the fluid impermeable layer;
• inflatable;
• or
• configured to change a distance that the extension extends from the distal end region of the fluid impermeable layer;
• a fluid storage container;
• and
• a vacuum source;
• wherein the chamber of the fluid collection assembly is in fluid communication with the fluid storage container and the vacuum source via one or more conduits.

A method of using a fluid collection assembly, the method comprising:

• positioning an opening of a fluid collection assembly adjacent to a urethral opening of an individual, the fluid collection assembly including:
• a fluid impermeable layer including a proximal end region and a distal end region spaced from the proximal end region;
• the fluid impermeable layer defining at least a chamber, at least one opening, and a fluid outlet;
• at least one porous material disposed in the chamber;
• and
• positioning an extension of the fluid collection assembly in a gluteal cleft of the individual, the extension extending from or near the distal end region of the fluid impermeable layer, the extension at least one of:
• reversibly attachable to the fluid impermeable layer;
• inflatable;
• or
• configured to change a distance that the extension extends from the distal end region of the fluid impermeable layer.
