A noninvasive urinary drainage device is described which includes a urethral tube with a slanted upper end shaped to seal against the urethral area of a female user. This tube serves to support two stacked discs, each of which is flat, plate-like, and flexible. These two discs are configured to mechanically engage the labia minora and majora of the user. The lower end of the urethral tube is secured to a drainage tube adapted to conduct urine away from the user into a suitable receptacle. The urethral tube is held in place on the user by means of a pad which is provided with an indentation shaped to receive the larger of the two discs. This pad is formed of an absorbent material and can, for example, be held in place by means of a suitable belt. The ends of the pad are formed by an elastic net which supplies a gentle, even pressure holding the urinary drainage device in place.

A urinary drainage device for a female user comprising: an elastomeric urethral tube having a longitudinal axis extending along the longitudinal length of the tube, a lower end and a slanted upper end shaped to conform to and seal around the urethral region of the user; a first flat planar disc formed of an elastomeric material, said first disc defining a first central opening and shaped to mechanically engage the labia minora of the user; a second oval shaped flat planar disc formed of an elastomeric material, said second disc defining a second central opening positioned in an offset manner in the second disc, said second disc defining a major and a minor axis and first and second peripheral ends on the major axis, said second opening situated nearer the first end than the second end, and said second disc shaped to mechanically engage the labia majora of the user; said tube disposed within the first and second openings and secured to the first and second discs adjacent the first and second openings such that the first disc overlies the second disc; said slanted upper end of the tube defining a posterior end and an anterior end, said posterior end extending farther from the first disc in the axial direction along the axial length of the tube than the anterior end, and said tube oriented such that the posterior end of the tube is situated nearer the first end than is the anterior end of the tube; said tube and discs cooperating to hold the slanted upper end of the tube in a sealing relationship against the urethral region of the user in a noninvasive manner; said tube, first disc and second disc conformable to the anatomy of the user.
