Abstract

Embodiments are directed towards fluid collection assemblies that include at least one length adjusting feature, fluid collection assemblies including the same, and methods of using the same. An example fluid collection assembly includes a fluid impermeable barrier. The fluid impermeable barrier includes a distal region, at least one distal end region spaced from the distal region, and at least one intermediate portion extending from the distal region to the distal region. The fluid impermeable barrier also defines at least one length adjusting feature (“LAF”) extending from the distal end region to the distal region. The LAF allows the length of the fluid collection assembly to change. The ability of the fluid collection assembly to change the length thereof allows a penis of a patient to be disposed in preferential locations within the fluid collection assembly.

Claims (44)

1. A fluid collection assembly, comprising:

a distal region;

at least one proximal end region spaced from the distal region;

at least one intermediate portion extending from the at least one proximal end region to the distal region;

at least one length adjusting feature extending from the at least one proximal end region towards the distal region, the at least one length adjusting feature configured to allow a length of the fluid collection assembly to change;

a fluid impermeable barrier forming at least a portion of the distal region, the at least one proximal end region, and the at least one intermediate portion, the fluid impermeable barrier at least defining a chamber, an opening at the proximal end region, and a fluid outlet; and

at least one porous material disposed in the chamber, the at least one porous material configured to receive bodily fluids and move the bodily fluids towards an interior of the chamber and the fluid outlet, the at least one porous material including at least one porous material slit adjacent to the at least one length adjusting feature, the at least one porous material including one or more edges adjacent to the proximal end region and adjacent to the at least one porous material slit;

wherein the fluid impermeable barrier includes at least one inwardly extending portion extending distally into the chamber from an exterior portion of the fluid impermeable barrier, the at least one inwardly extending portion at least partially covering the one or more edges adjacent to the proximal end region and the one or more edges adjacent to the at least one porous material slit.

2. The fluid collection assembly of claim 1 , wherein the distal region is a sump.

3. The fluid collection assembly of claim 1 , wherein the distal region is not a sump.

4. The fluid collection assembly of claim 1 , wherein the distal region defines a fluid reservoir.

5. The fluid collection assembly of claim 1 , wherein the distal region includes the fluid outlet.

6. The fluid collection assembly of claim 1 , wherein the at least one length adjusting feature includes at least one slit.

7. The fluid collection assembly of claim 1 , wherein the at least one length adjusting feature includes a plurality of perforations.

8. The fluid collection assembly of claim 1 , further comprising at least one retainer configured to be disposed adjacent to an exterior surface of the fluid impermeable barrier and to maintain a length of the fluid collection assembly.

9. The fluid collection assembly of claim 1 , wherein the at least one length adjusting feature includes a single length adjusting feature and the at least one intermediate portion includes a single intermediate portion.

10. The fluid collection assembly of claim 1 , wherein the at least one length adjusting feature includes a plurality of length adjusting features and the at least one intermediate portion includes a plurality of intermediate portions between adjacent ones of the plurality of length adjusting features.

11. The fluid collection assembly of claim 10 , wherein at least one of the plurality of intermediate portions includes an inner surface that partially overlaps an outer surface another one of the plurality of intermediate portions at or near the distal region when the plurality of intermediate portions are completely flared.

12. The fluid collection assembly of claim 10 , wherein an angle between two adjacent lateral edges of a first set of two different intermediate portions is different than an angle between two other adjacent lateral edges of a second set of two different intermediate portions when the plurality of intermediate portions are completely flared.

13. The fluid collection assembly of claim 10 , wherein each angle between two adjacent lateral edges of two different intermediate portions is the same when the plurality of intermediate portions are completely flared.

14. The fluid collection assembly of claim 10 , wherein the plurality of intermediate portions includes 2 to 5 intermediate portions.

15. The fluid collection assembly of claim 1 , wherein the at least one intermediate portion includes an adhesive on an interior surface thereof.

16. The fluid collection assembly of claim 1 , wherein the at least one inwardly extending portion of the fluid impermeable barrier at least partially covers the one or more edges adjacent to the proximal end region.

17. The fluid collection assembly of claim 1 , wherein the at least one inwardly extending portion of the fluid impermeable barrier at least partially covers the one or more edges adjacent to the at least one length adjusting feature.

18. The fluid collection assembly of claim 1 , further comprising at least one conduit extending through the fluid outlet to a location proximate to the proximal end region.

19. The fluid collection assembly of claim 1 , wherein the fluid impermeable barrier includes at least one chamber extending portion extending from the at least one inwardly extending portion into the chamber.

20. The fluid collection assembly of claim 2 , wherein the at least one porous material extends into and across the sump.

21. The fluid collection assembly of claim 1 , wherein the fluid impermeable barrier includes:

an outer portion abutting at least one first surface of the porous material;

at least one chamber portion abutting a portion of at least one second surface of the porous material;

wherein the at least one second surface of is opposite the at least one first surface;

wherein the one or more edges of the porous material adjacent to the proximal end region extend between the at least one first surface and the at least one second surface; and

wherein the at least one inwardly extending portion extends between the outer portion and the at least one chamber portion, the at least one inwardly extending portion completely covering the one or more edges adjacent to the proximal end region.

22. A fluid collection system, comprising:

a fluid storage container configured to hold one or more bodily fluids;

a fluid collection assembly including:

a distal region;

at least one proximal end region spaced from the distal region;

at least one intermediate portion extending from the at least one proximal end region to the distal region;

at least one length adjusting feature extending from the at least one proximal end region towards the distal region, the at least one length adjusting feature configured to allow a length of the fluid collection assembly to change;

a fluid impermeable barrier forming at least a portion of the distal region, the at least one proximal end region, and the at least one intermediate portion, the fluid impermeable barrier at least defining a chamber, an opening at the proximal end region, and a fluid outlet; and

at least one porous material disposed in the chamber, the at least one porous material configured to receive bodily fluids and move the bodily fluids towards an interior of the chamber and the fluid outlet, the at least one porous material including at least one porous material slit adjacent to the at least one length adjusting feature, the at least one porous material including one or more edges adjacent to the proximal end region and adjacent to the at least one length adjusting feature;

wherein the fluid impermeable barrier includes at least one inwardly extending portion extending distally into the chamber from an exterior portion of the fluid impermeable barrier, the at least one inwardly extending portion at least partially covering the one or more edges adjacent to the proximal end region and the one or more edges adjacent to the at least one porous material slit; and

a vacuum source fluidly coupled to one or more of the fluid storage container or the fluid collection assembly via the conduit, the vacuum source configured to draw fluid from the fluid collection assembly via the conduit.
