Abstract
Urine collection systems and related methods in which the urine collection system comprises: (A) a perforated sheet that includes a plurality of apertures that allow for one-way flow through the apertures, and (B) a bottom urine collection sheet, positioned below the perforated sheet, comprising one or more grooves, where each groove has a respective groove length, groove width, and groove depth for allowing the groove to facilitate collection of urine by the bottom sheet. In particular embodiments, the grooves are dimensioned to route urine into a central collection area defined by the bottom sheet from which the urine is then removed by a suction source.
Claims20
A urine collection system comprising:
- a perforated sheet having a perforated sheet outer periphery, a perforated sheet upper surface, a perforated sheet lower surface, and at least one perforated sheet aperture (i) within the perforated sheet outer periphery, and (ii) extending from the perforated sheet upper surface to the perforated sheet lower surface,
- a bottom urine collection sheet positioned below the perforated sheet, the bottom urine collection sheet having a bottom sheet upper surface, and a bottom sheet lower surface;
- and
- one or more vertical spacers disposed between the perforated sheet and the bottom urine collection sheet, wherein:
- the one or more vertical spacers are configured to maintain a vertical separation between the perforated sheet and the bottom sheet upper surface;
- the perforated sheet and the bottom urine collection sheet define a collection area formed by the one or more vertical spacers, the collection area configured to collect urine.
A urine collection system comprising:
- a perforated sheet having a perforated sheet outer periphery, a perforated sheet upper surface, a perforated sheet lower surface, and at least one perforated sheet aperture (i) within the perforated sheet outer periphery, and (ii) extending from the perforated sheet upper surface to the perforated sheet lower surface;
- and
- a bottom urine collection sheet positioned below the perforated sheet, the bottom urine collection sheet having a bottom sheet upper surface, and a bottom sheet lower surface, wherein:
- the perforated sheet and the bottom urine collection sheet define a collection area therebetween, the collection area configured to collect urine from the at least one perforated sheet aperture and maintain the urine within the collection area.
