Molded or extruded fluid collection devices, and related systems and methods

Abstract

Examples relate to fluid collection devices, and related systems and methods. In some embodiments, a fluid collection device includes a fluid impermeable barrier and an elongated body that is at least partially fluid permeable. The fluid impermeable barrier has a distal end region and a proximal end region defining an aperture sized and dimensioned to have urine drawn therethrough by a vacuum source. The elongated body has a portion of the body that is free from being covered by the fluid impermeable barrier between the distal end region and the proximal end region and positioned on the fluid collection device to receive urine discharged from a urethra at least proximate to the portion of the body. The fluid collection device includes at least one of the fluid impermeable barrier being an injection molded fluid impermeable barrier or the body includes at least an extruded support.
