Abstract
A male external catheter urine collection system and sheath therefor. The sheath is suspended from a belt worn by a user and receives the user's penis through an open upper end portion thereof that has an inwardly rolled-over peripheral edge. Urine in the sheath is discharged to an outlet tube through a discharge opening in a tapered lower end portion of the sheath. A coil spring associated with the outlet tube prevents the outlet tube from kinking shut during use. A discharge tube connects to the outlet tube and carries the discharged urine to a collection bag strapped to the lower leg of the user.
