Abstract

Provided herein is a bridging device including, in some embodiments, a piece of tubing including a securement loop, a first connector at a first end of the piece of tubing, and a second connector at asecond end of the piece of tubing. Also provided herein is a male external catheter (MEC) kit including, in some embodiments, an MEC; a drainage bag for the MEC; and the bridging device for fluidly connecting the MEC to the drainage bag. The securement loop of the piece of tubing is configured for securing the bridging device in a securement device optionally included in the MEC kit. The first connector is configured to connect to the MEC. The second connector is configured to connect to the drainage bag for the MEC. Methods for making and using the foregoing bridging device and MEC kit are also provided.

Description

[0001] priority [0002] This application claims the benefit of priority to U.S. Provisional Application No. 62 / 560,513, filed September 19, 2017, which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety. Background technique [0003] When preparing a male external urinary catheter ("MEC") for use, current practice is to pick up or remove the MEC, cleaning wipes, drainage bag, and drainage bag fastening device from multiple sizes. The MEC sizer is helpful in taking out the MEC, but the MEC sizer is usually skipped because it is not always available. Fastening equipment is also not always available and is usually skipped as well. The diversity of approaches suggested that clinicians can and do use makes current practice potentially all the more frustrating. Non-standard use often causes problems with MEC, such as leakage. [0004] Furthermore, when connecting the MEC to a drainage bag, current practice is for the user or patient to attach it directly to the sample port of ...
