Patent attributes
This invention is a device utilizing hydro-block venting material in various external male and female catheter configurations permitting adequate airflow into the catheter thereby permitting efficient and complete drainage of urine away from the user following urination. In two embodiments user's expelled urine is automatically detected by a sensor and drawn away from the user by a pump means to a user selected storage means as a pressure relief balloon prevents air interference with the sensor. In another embodiment gravity is utilized to draw user's expelled urine away from user to a user selected storage means. An adhesive, garment or strap attachment means are disclosed as attachment means to secure the external male and female catheter to user and prevent leakage. The external male and female catheters are engineered to also be able to be connected to and used in combination with an indwelling catheter.
