Abstract
A urine removal device includes a pouch with a proximal opening that provides access to an internal compartment of the pouch that is suitable to contain urine. A fluid diverter system is disposed inside of the pouch and extends from the proximal portion of the pouch, where it interfaces via an outlet conduit member to the environment outside of the pouch, to the distal end of the pouch where it draws in urine from the pouch. The pouch has at least one air port to allow air flow through the device to support suction that is applied inside of the pouch. The fluid diverter system has at least one conduit member configured to draw urine from the distal portion of the pouch up to the proximal end of the pouch, and into the outlet conduit member where it exits the fluid collection device.
