Description
06~;~i s- 7530 EXTERNAL CATHETER AND APPLICATION
The present invention relates to an external male incontinence catheter and an applicator therefor.
Male incontinence catheters are well known and generally comprise an elastic sheath for surrounding the glans and shaft of the penis, the distal end of the sheath having an outlet which is connected via a drain tube to a urine collection container.
Problems with these catheters can arise during applicat;on to the penis. For example, when applying a sheath-type catheter having an adhesive-coated inner surface, care must be taken to ensure that the adhesive surface does not contact itself and that the sheath is evenly applied, without creating pockets,voids or wrinkles. U.S. Patent 4,540,409 discloses a sheath-type external male catheter having a portion of its internal surface coated with an adhesive material and for use with a tubular applicator. The applicator is in the form of a relatively r;gid open-ended, tapered tube, the length of which ;s less than the length of the fully extended sheath, and the diameter of which is slightly greater than the maximum inside diameter of the unstretched sheath. Before use, the distal end of the sheath and its outlet and drainage tube are disposed within the tube.
In use, the c~lindrical body portion of the sheath is everted over a portion of the outside surface of the applicator tube. So arranged, the outside surface of the sheath contacts the outside surface of the applicator tube, with the inner-side of the sheath, i.e., the side having the adhesive coating facing outwards and hence not capable of touching itself. In applying the catheter, the portion of the sheath which ~Z8~;5S
is not everted, i.e. the distal end, i5 placed over the glans and the applicator tube is moved along the penile shaft, thereby causing the everted portion of the sheath to revert so that the inner surface of the sheath contacts the penile shaft and the adhesive coating thereon secures the sheath in place.
While the aforementioned appl;cator tube tends to avoid the drawback associated with the adhesive-coated surfaces coming together, it has been found that the force required to slide the applicator in the reverting step is quite large and likely to tear the thin elastic sheath. Moreover, as a result of the force requ;red to apply the catheter and the frict;on between the applicator and the penile shaft, there is an increased potential for the patient to experience an erection, a condition which is exacerbated by the presence of the tube applicator, which must be slid down the swollen shaft and glans of the pen;s for removal. Finally, this prior art device generally requires the additional process;ng step of prov;d;ng a lubricant on the interior surface of the catheter to facilitate the applicat;on of the catheter sheath to the penis. The presence of a lubricant adds to the proble~ns associated with the application oE the external catheter.
According to the invention there is provided an external male incontinence device comprising an elastic sheath for app~ication to the penis and having a drain outlet, and a relatively r;gid appl;cator ring, the proximal end of the sheath being everted over the distal end and said ring be;ng a snug fit around the open end of the everted sheath.
The applicator ring fits closely around the adjacent portion of the everted sheath but does not stretch or otherwise distort the sheath. The open end of the device is appl;ed to the tip of -the penis and the sheath unrolled as the ring is moved down the penile shaft. The r;ng is much less likely to tear the sheath because of the rolling action and a lubricant is not needed. The likelihood of erect;on is also substantially reduced.
A sk;n compatible adhesive may be applied to the outer surface of the everted sheath and is preferably covered by the r;ng. In a specific embodiment the adhesive is a relatively narrow circumferential band which peels from the ring onto the penis as the sheath unrolls.
The invention g;ves precise application of the adhesive band which this reduces both the amount of adhesive necessary and the likelihood of wrinkling & pocketing.
The ring may be axially split to allow easy removal after use thus further reducing the chance of causing discomfort to the patient. An external flange maybe provided on the ring to give the user a convenient hand hold.
In the preferred embodiment the proximal end of the sheath is longer than the axial width of the applicator ring, the excess length being reverted over a distal port;on of the ring. An external circumferential groove in the ring provides a seat for the reverted portion of the sheath.
The distal end of the sheath is preferably of thicker material than the proximal end so as to be relat;vely shape retaining.
~28~655 S-7530 Other features of the invention will be apparent from the follow;ng description of a preferred embodiment illustrated shown by way of example only in the accompany drawings in which:

The external male ;ncontinence catheter shown in Figure 1 comprises one of the two principal elements of the present invention. The other element is -the applicator r;ng, i].lustrated in Figure 2.
With reference to Figure 1 a catheter 11 ;s made of a suitable sof-L, h;ghly elastic, natural or synthetic rubber. Natural latex is preferred but alternative elastomers hav;ng similar properties may be used. The catheter includes an el.ongate, generally cylindrical sheath ilA hav;ng a proximal portion llB and an integral distal portion llC.
" ~5 S-7530 Ihe distal portion llC is constructed so as to be relatively shape retaining and ;n the preferred embodiment -the wall thickness of the distal portion is substantially greater than the wall thickness of the proximal portion 1lB.
The end 17 of the distal sheath portion llC tapers gradually inward to an outlet l9 and drain tube 21 as shown. The proximal end of drain tube 21 has convolutions 21A to g;ve additional flexibility. The distal sheath portion 11C, outlet l9 and convolutions 21A are integral and made from the same thickness oE
materia].
The thickness of the upper portion 1lB may range from 0.075-0.25mm (0.003 to 0.010 inches) while the thickness of the lower portion 11C may be approximately 0.75mm (0.030 inches). The thickness of tube 21 is approximately l.0-1.5mm (0.040 to 0.060 inches).
The catheter 11 ;s provided with an internal adhesive band 35 to secure the shea-th to the penis. The band can be any su;-table grade of skin compat,ible, pressure sensitive adhesive and in the preferred ernbodiment is a hypo-allergic acrylic adhesive. The position of band 35 ;s such that, after applicat;on, the adhesive contacts the penis just below the corona of the glans.
The applicator ring 23 is generally cylindr;cal and open at both ends. An axially extending slot 25 perm;ts the r;ng to be opened about a hinge line 25A.
At the proximal end the ring has an outwardly extending flange 27 which is cut away adjacent the h;nge line. A
circumferential groove 37 extends around the ring midway between the ends as shown.
~;;~ii S-7530 Slot 25 facilitates manufacture of the ring, and assembly and removal of the ring from the catheter as will be further described below. Groove 37 provides a seat for the catheter in the assembled condit;on.
Ring 23 may be made from any suitable material, for example po]ypropylene, which gives a smooth relatively rigid r;ng structure.
In the assembled condition the ;nternal diame-ter of ring 23 is substant;ally equal to the adjacent portion of the sheath so that the ring is a snug fit and surrounds the sheath wi-thout distorting the shape thereof.
The sheath and applicator ring are assembled as follows:
Proximal portion l lB is first everted. In this position, the outer wall 13 of the proximal portion 11B
contacts the outer wall of the distal portion 11C, with the ;nner wall 15 of the proximal portion 11F~
encircling the convolutions 21A. Adhesive band 35 is appl;ed to the surface of the everted proximal portion l lB, which is facing outward. R;ng 23 is opened and placed about the everted sheath portion, so that the inner surface of ring 23 contacts the adhesive band 35.
The device in this condition is shown in Figure 3.
Thereafter, the everted portion l l B which encircles the convolutions 21A is reverted over the outer surface of ring 23 as shown in Figs. 4 and 5. Groove 37 provides a seat for the outermost portion of the sheath as shown in Fig. 5.
~6~S S-7530 Application of the device is effected smoothly and simply by placing the opening of catheter portion llC
over the glans of the penis; lightly gripping flange 27 and moving the applicator ring 23 along the penile shaft so as to cause sheath 11 to unroll, whereby adhesive band 35 peels from ring 23 onto the penis.
Ring 23 may then be opened for easy removal from around the shaft of the penis.
While the foregoing discloses an embodiment of the invention ;n detail, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that var;ous aspects of the present invention may be modified w;thout departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.
