A catheter for males including a flexible, resilient, sheath-like bag for reception of the penis and provided with a thickened upper end portion or rim supported from a waist encircling belt by a pair of elongated resilient straps which are capable of being adjustable in length. The lower end of the bag is communicated with a leg supported urine collection bag. The upper end portion or rim of the flexible bag or sheath-like tubular member is provided with a plurality of integrally formed loops or slot-like openings for receiving the reversely folded lower end portion of the straps or a double headed button for securing the lower ends of the straps adjustably to the bag.

A device to prevent the spreading of Acquired Immmune Deficiency virus or AIDS comprises an elastic belt worn around the hips or mid-body portion of a male person. The belt has separated ends and button and button hole for fastening the ends together. A condom is monted to the belt by being secured between the button and the button hole.
A method and device for draining urine from a urinary leg bag without inconvenience to the wearer. The bag is attached to the leg of the wearer with straps above and below the protrusion of the calf. Trousers that cover the bag have a flexible intermeshing closure at the bottom on one trouser leg to allow access to the urinary leg bag for draining into a receptacle.
A support system for a catheter urine collection bag comprising three circumferential straps with suitable padding and adjustable hook and loop closures. The circumferential straps are held in proximity to one another by a first longitudinal strap connecting the three on their front surfaces, and a second longitudinal control strap between the upper strap and the second strap on their rear surfaces. The longitudinal control strap acts fundamentally as a hinge between the upper two circumferential straps to prevent the circumferential straps from twisting out of position relative to one another. The second circumferential strap and the lower, third strap have loop closure material which matches hook closure material threaded through the support holes formed into the bag.
An expandable plastic collection bag adapted to be strapped to the leg of an incontinent patient and provided with an inlet tube for directing urine into the bag. The bag also has a clamp-equipped discharge tube to facilitate periodic draining of the bag's contents. The straps are located to exert a force urging the inner wall of the bag into conforming engagement with a wearer's leg, and side pleats allow expansion of the bag in a way that permits a relatively large portion of the inner wall to remain in surface contact with the leg. The inlet and outlet tubes are hingedly mounted for self-adjusting limited pivotal movement towards and away from the bag's outer wall to reduce possibilities that the flow passages might become kinked as the bag is filled. Such pivotal movement is facilitated by openings and by heat seal lines formed in the walls of the bag at the locations of the inlet and outlet tubes. Upper and lower sections of the bag are disposed between the respective inlet and outlet tubes and the wearer to shield the wearer's leg against direct contact with such tubes, and a pocket is provided adjacent the inlet tube (and also, if desired, adjacent the outlet tube) to receive and protect the tube against contamination during handling and storage of the bag.
