External urinary catheter system

1. A male external urinary catheter system comprising:

an external collector having a proximal end configured to receive a user's penis and a distal end opposite the proximal end, the external collector defining a longitudinal axis,

a retaining structure configured to engage the distal end of the external collector to urge the proximal end of the external collector against the user's body adjacent the base of the penis to provide sufficient pressure to the user's body adjacent the base of the penis to impede urinary drainage from the user's penis while the user is sitting or laying, and

a drainage container coupled to the distal end of the external collector,

wherein the retaining structure comprises a garment having at least one opening in the front, the at least one opening having an opening diameter,

wherein the distal end of the external collector comprises a first portion having a first diameter and a second portion at the end of the distal portion having a second diameter that is smaller than the first diameter, the second diameter being smaller than the opening diameter and the first diameter being larger than the opening diameter,

wherein the distal end of the external collector is configured to extend through the at least one opening in the garment,

wherein the external collector is straight along the longitudinal axis from the proximal end to the distal end, and

wherein the external collector is rigid from the proximal end to the distal end.

2. The male external urinary catheter system of claim 1 , wherein the distal end of the external collector comprises threads configured to mate with a threaded opening of the drainage container.

3. The male external urinary catheter system of claim 1 , wherein the distal end of the external collector comprises threads configured to mate with tubing that is coupled to the drainage container.

4. The male external urinary catheter system of claim 1 , wherein the drainage container is a leg bag.

5. The male external urinary catheter system of claim 1 , wherein the drainage container comprises a backflow prevention device at an opening of the drainage container.

6. The male external urinary catheter system of claim 1 , wherein the external collector is cylindrical.

7. The male external urinary catheter system of claim 1 , wherein the external collector comprises an air vent proximate the proximal end.

8. The male external urinary catheter system of claim 1 , wherein the external collector comprises a circumferential groove proximate the proximal end.

9. The male external urinary catheter system of claim 1 , wherein an internal cushion is disposed inside the external collector.

10. The male external urinary catheter system of claim 1 , wherein an external cushion is disposed on an external surface of the external collector.
