Abstract
The invention is an improved female catheter that is applied and used externally. It is particularly useful for the incontinent patient. The external female catheter is an extremely thin-walled device that is of substantially flat configuration that completely covers the entire vulva area of the female. The extremely thin walls expand easily and readily for temporary surges of expelled urine that increase the volume, but the thin walls return to the substantially flat configuration as the urine is drained out of the device. The device is reinforced at the edges by a thickening of the thin walls. The device is attached to the patient with an adhesive. Once attached to the female, it can remain in place for a considerable period of time and is capable of being flushed for sanitary purposes without removing it. The device is fitted with a drainage system to carry off expelled urine to a container attached to the leg.
