Abstract: A system suitable for collecting and transporting urine away from the body of a person or animal may include an assembly having a fluid impermeable casing having a fluid reservoir at a first end, a fluid outlet at a second end, and a longitudinally extending fluid impermeable layer coupled to the fluid reservoir and the fluid outlet and defining a longitudinally elongated opening between the reservoir and the outlet. The assembly can further include a fluid permeable support disposed within the casing with a portion extending across the elongated opening, and a fluid permeable membrane disposed on the support and covering at least the portion of the support that extends across the elongated opening, so that the membrane is supported on the support and disposed across the elongated opening. The assembly can further include a tube having a first end disposed in the reservoir and a second, fluid discharge end.

Abstract: Waste management systems and capture funnels for use therewith are described. The waste management systems include a waste container, a reclamation system, a capture funnel, and a hose fluidly connecting the capture funnel to each of the waste container and the reclamation system. The capture funnels include a funnel having an inlet end and an outlet end, a water-function trigger actuatable to dispense water into the funnel, and an air-function trigger actuatable to dispense air into the funnel.

Abstract: Embodiments disclosed herein are directed to fluid collection assemblies that include at least one inflation device, methods for using the same, and systems including the same. An example fluid collection assembly includes a fluid impermeable barrier defining at least one opening, a chamber, and at least one fluid outlet. The fluid collection assembly also includes at least one porous material disposed in the chamber. The fluid collection assembly further includes at least one inflation device. The inflation device includes at least one bladder having one or more walls defining an interior region. The inflation device also includes at least one valve configured to selectively permit flow of at least one inflation fluid into and out of the interior region to switch the at least one bladder between a first state and a second state.

Abstract: Examples relate to fluid collection devices, and related systems and methods. In some embodiments, a fluid collection device includes a fluid impermeable barrier and a fluid permeable body. The fluid impermeable barrier may include a first end region, a second end region, a front side, and a back side. The fluid impermeable barrier defines an opening on the front side, one or more apertures on the back side distal to the opening and positioned between the first end region and the second end region, and a chamber within the fluid collection device. At least one of the first end region or the second end region may be substantially planar. The fluid permeable body is positioned within the chamber and extends across at least a portion of the opening.

Abstract: A collector for fecal discharge is provided comprising a self-expanding resilient collection component, a housing sheath and a transit component. The collection component has an open proximal and distal end and a lumen connecting them. The component comprises interconnected resilient arms circumscribing its contour, wherein adjacent arms are resiliently biased away from each other for exerting outwardly radial pressure for expanding and anchoring the component to rectal walls upon deployment. The housing sheath comprises a flexible and resilient material overlaying at least one of inner or outer contour of collection component without interfering with or blocking its ends or lumen. The transit component provides a conduit for fecal discharge to migrate from collection component to a receptacle and comprises a flexible, tubular sheath having a first open end connected to a second end by a lumen, wherein the first end engages with the proximal end of the collection component.

Abstract: A dual use urine collection assembly comprising a drainage tube assembly having a drainage tube connected to a proximal chamber and an atmospheric equilibrium valve disposed in fluid communication with the proximal chamber. The atmospheric equilibrium valve has an airway with a cross-sectional air inlet area, and the airway is connected to the proximal chamber at an interface having a membrane area. The membrane area is in the range of about 4 to about 8 times larger than the air inlet area. The proximal chamber has a hydrophobic breathable membrane disposed on an inside surface of the proximal chamber over the interface.
