Device for absorption and controlled discharge of liquid excretions

A device for collection and controlled discharge of liquid excretions from a vagina having:

• a) a collection container for collecting the liquid excretions;
• a1) wherein the collection container comprises a hollow body with a longitudinal axis, which is closed by two ends;
• a2) wherein the collection container has a maximum outer diameter perpendicular to its longitudinal axis of 20 to 30 mm;
• a3) wherein the collection container has an outer wall having a large number of holes, through which the liquid excretions can enter into the collection container;
• a4) wherein each of the holes of the outer wall of the collection container have a diameter of 0.8 mm to 1.5 mm;
• b) a shaft permanently connected to the collection container,
• b1) wherein a ventilating feature, selected from one of the shaft or a ventilation tube at least partially located within the shaft, comprises a cavity and a first end protruding partially into the collection container through one of the ends of the collection container along the longitudinal axis of the collection container;
• b2) wherein on the end of the collection container opposite the shaft no holes are introduced into the outer wall;
• c) a handle which is fixed on the opposite end of the shaft;
• c1) wherein the handle permits an insertion of the collection container into the vagina or a rotation process of the collection container about its longitudinal axis within the vagina and/or a removal of the collection container from the vagina;
• and
• c2) wherein the handle comprises a hole in fluid communication with the cavity such that the handle is connected in a communicating manner to the cavity, in order to provide fluid communication between room air and the collection container for the purpose of preventing any pressure differences between room air and the collection container from occurring.
