Abstract
A male urinary device and method for applying for an incontinent patient comprising a sheath and a cushion strip interposed between the sheath and the penis. The cushion strip includes a seat portion and an arm extending out from one side of the seat and another arm extending out from the opposite side thereof. The second arm is positioned offset from the first arm so that the arms do not overlap on each other when wrapped around the penis. The seat and the arms are dimensioned so that the arms also do not overlap on the seat. The adjacent edges of the arms are applied to abut each other when the cushion strip encircles the penis and forms a continuous ring therearound, which is non-bulging on the upper surface thereof.
The cooperation of the sheath and the level cushion strip affords a liquid tight seal between the sheath and the cushion strip. The abutting adjacent edges of the arms prevent liquid leakage therebetween. Adhesive on the upper and lower surfaces of the cushion strip and on the inner edges of the arms of the strip further secures the liquid seal of the device. The sheath includes an outlet end for transmitting urine from the device to a receptacle tied to the patient'"'"'s leg or waist.
