Abstract
A female external catheter device includes a brief having a pair of leg openings that may be opened and closed with lateral straps. A pad assembly is removably connected to the brief. The pad assembly has a funneled portion that is adapted to direct urine away from the vagina. The funnel outlet can be sealed for limited urine collection. This allows the woman on the go to be able to collected urine in the funneled portion and then easily drain the funneled portion by unsealing the outlet of the funneled portion. Alternatively, the woman may elect to remove the entire pad assembly and replace it with a new one. For longer intervals, a urine collection device may be connected to the outlet of the funneled portion.
