Abstract
An open-top elongated, foldable V-shaped urination trough for use following prostatic surgery to channel urine away from a patient's body and to prevent its discharge onto clothing and skin, has base and tab portions formed from a single sheet of flexible material. The sheet is folded so that the base portions form sidewalls of an elongated trough. The tab portions are bent into engagement with each other to form a finger hold and to define an opening near one end of the trough.
