1. A midstream urine collector comprising a funnel-shaped body having a downwardly-tapering wall defining an upper inlet, a lower outlet, and a flow passage therebetween;

  • a cup member having an upwardly-directed mouth and being mounted within said passage below said inlet;

    said cup member being substantially smaller than said passage to permit the downward flow of urine through said passage past said cup member;

    a generally dome-shaped cover extending over said cup member formed of a non-contaminating water-soluble polymeric material capable of disintegrating within 2 to 15 seconds upon exposure to a stream of urine; and

    deflecting means mounted within said body above said cover for shielding at least an upper portion of said cover against direct impingement by a stream of urine discharged into the inlet of said funnel-shaped body.
