Embodiment Construction

[0202] The urinary aid 1 of the present example is compact and portable. It enables women to urinate like men. The urinary aid 1 is fixed within the labia minora folds on the female's urethral opening, without covering the vaginal opening or the pubic area. The urinary aid is manufactured in standard sizes available and does not need to be individualized.

[0203] The urinary aid comprises a locator element 3 which positions the urinary aid 1 onto the urethral opening so as to direct the flow of urine away from the urethral opening with minimal or no leakage to the surrounding area. Two types of urinary aids are available. The first urinary aid was an improved nozzle that formed a contoured circular seal when pressed about the opening of the urethra. The front end is located away from the urethra and has a relatively large cross-sectional circular opening through which urine flows. The second type of assistive device has a smooth rounded edge hollow nozzle that is small en...

Abstract

An urinary aid able to be positioned by a female user to allow that female user to urinate with control, the device comprising a tube-like engagement head having a urine receivable end for engaging the mouth of the urethra and a urine discharge end, tube-like engagement head comprising a locator element, located at the urine receivable end of the engagement head that allows urine from the female to access the urine discharge end of the engagement head, the locator element extending substantially transverse to the walls of the tube-like engagement head to define (a) an inner locator element region that extends from about the wall of the tube-like engagement head towards the centre of the tube-like engagement head, and (b) an outer locator element region, that extends radially outwards from the wall of the tube-like engagement head, and a conformable material attached to, or formed unitarily with, the locator element, such that positioning of the locator element by the user against the urethral opening actuates the locator element to move into a substantially sealing configuration about the users urethral opening.

Description

Field of the invention [0001] The present invention relates to an urinary aid for women. More particularly, but not exclusively, it relates to an urinary aid operably mounted within the folds of the labia minora. Background of the invention [0002] Using a public toilet can be an unpleasant experience for women, both in terms of hygiene and requiring them to crouch over the toilet. Some contact infections and kidney diseases can be transmitted through contact with toilet seat gaskets. [0003] Additionally, it can be inconvenient to urinate outside (ie, while hiking, camping, or traveling). [0004] Various urinary aids are known. For example, US patent application 20080262448 to Padmanabhan Mahalingam describes a device consisting of a cup mounted around the urethra for collecting urine, a shield, and an outlet tube. US Patent Application 20050097662 to Brett Leimkuhler describes a device having a funnel and a hose contoured to conform to the labial area. US Patent 5,...
