A penile condom catheter for facilitating urine collection and egress of urinary fluids away from the body torso of a living organism, comprising:
- a circumferential anchoring structure comprising a web of flexible strands sized and arranged to at least partially contact a portion of the penis;
- wherein
- the penis consists of a shaft of the penis originating near the body torso and a head of the penis comprising the distal part of the penis away from the body torso;
- wherein
- the head of the penis is the part of the penis containing an urethra orifice;
- wherein
- the transition point between the shaft of the penis and the head of the penis is the corona of the penis;
- wherein
- the anchoring structure is providing a flexible yet secure hold against the penis when the penis is in a flaccid state;
- wherein
- the anchoring structure is providing an increase in the flexible yet secure hold against the penile skin of the flaccid shaft of the penis, when a longitudinal force, a vector force predominantly directed parallel to the length of the penis, is exerted upon the anchoring structure;
- wherein
- the longitudinal force exerted on the anchoring structure is directed at least one of an along the length of the shaft of the penis and an away from the body torso;
- wherein
- the longitudinal force exerted upon the anchoring structure is stretching the flexible web strands;
- wherein
- the stretching of the flexible web strands of the anchoring structure is resulting in at least a component of the flexible web strands, constricting circumferentially;
- wherein
- the circumferentially constricting component of the anchoring structure exerts a force upon at least one of the penis;
- and wherein
- the force exerted is at least one of an increasing coefficient of friction and an increasing suction between the anchoring structure and at least one of the penis and the penile skin;
- an annularly circumferential penile skin covering material affixed to the anchoring structure and sized to fit over at least a portion of the penis;
- the annular circumferential covering material distally contains at least one orifice created to permit flow of urinary fluid away from at least one of the urethra orifice, the penile skin and the penis;
- at least one seal is affixed to at least a portion of at least one of a covering material, a covering material orifice, and an anchoring structure;
- wherein
- at least a portion of the seal is conformably maintaining at least one of a covering material and an anchoring structure against at least one of the penis and the penile skin in a substantially watertight manner;
- and wherein
- at least one conduit is affixed to at least one of a covering material, a covering material orifice, a seal and an anchoring structure created to permit the flow of urinary fluid away from at least one of a urethra orifice, a penis, a penile skin, and a covering material orifice.
