An external male urinary catheter, generally in the form of a condom, molded to form accordion pleats running circumferentially of the sheath so as to enable the catheter to be telescopically folded, applied, and then expanded to connect to drainage tubing and further to a compressable collection receptacle in a manner that creates a negative pressure mechanism, the fixed flange of a supporting garment meshed with the corresponding flange of said catheter by a vulcanization process rendering the assembly virtually free of any constriction.

An external male urinary catheter assembly comprising a moderately thin, flexible, resilient durable tubular sheath dimensioned to be positioned in enclosing relation to a substantial portion of the penis, said sheath including a distal tubular member having a central aperture providing an open end, the proximal end of said sheath opposite to said distal end portion forming an annular flange, said catheter sheath having a pleated portion between said distal and proximal ends, at the proximal end said pleats having an inner diameter to encircle the penis without constricting the same and at the distal end said pleats having an inner diameter smaller than the inner diameter at the proximate end, and a resilience to snugly engage the tip of the penis without constricting the flow of urine therethrough; drainage tubing telescopically engaging said tubular member to communicate at the distal end with said tubular sheath through said aperture and extending to a connection element, said connection element communicating with a collection receptacle having means for attachment either to the ambulatory wearer at his calf or to the bedside of the bedridden wearer; and a supporting garment of the men\s brief type, having elasticized leg openings and an elasticized waistband, said garment composed of an absorbent material and having an annular reinforcement on the front thereof complementary to said flange, and dimensioned to encircle the penis without constricting the same, said flanged end portion engaging said reinforcement and securely united thereto by fastening means continuously circumscribing said reinforcement and said flange respectively to provide a continuous connection therebetween without substantially constricting the penis.
