Abstract

Embodiments disclosed herein include conduits including at least one conduit porous material, fluid collection assemblies and systems including the same, and methods of using and forming the same. An example conduit includes at least one wall at least partially defining at least an inlet, and outlet downstream from the inlet, and a passageway extending from the inlet to the outlet. The conduit also includes at least one conduit porous material disposed in the passageway. The conduit porous material may at least partially occupy the passageway and may extend along at least a portion of a length of the conduit measured from the inlet to the outlet. The conduit may be configured for use in a fluid collection system for collecting one or more bodily fluids (e.g., urine, amniotic fluid, blood, etc.).
