US Patent 7104975 Male urinary system

The invention is of a male urinary system which, at its heart, includes a penis/urinary collection interface unit of a design which both collects urine without significant backflow during or after use and is sized and shaped for easy maneuvering into position, even when encountering restrictive spaces caused by body casts, braces, etc. Because the penis/urinary collection interface unit does not itself serve as the urine collection receptacle, but is merely in fluid communication therewith by a length of conduit, the collected urine will, if the system is used as intended, sit safely at a distance on the floor next to the patient's bed, or suspended from a hanging device or bracket attached to the patient's bed.
