International Classification:

A61F 5/455

Abstract:

Embodiments described herein are directed to an external, female, gravity-based drainage system. The system includes a body having a front side and a rear side and a drainage tube extending from a bottom side. The body can include a finger groove disposed on the front side and configured to allow a user to grasp the body from the front side alone without any opposing force applied to the rear side. The user can then position the funnel, disposed on the rear side of the body, over a labia region to capture any fluids voided therefrom. The fluids can be directed towards the lumen of the drainage tube and directed towards a suitable receptacle. Advantageously, the shape of the drainage system can be easily grasped and manipulated from a single side which can be important for patients with limited manual dexterity.
