METHOD OF MAKING URINE COLLECTION SLEEVES FOR A NON-INVASIVE URINE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

Abstract

A method of making a urine collection sleeve for a non-invasive urine management system includes attaching side edges of a water-permeable layer to side edges of a waterproof layer to form a cavity, open at an upper perimeter and at an antapex region; and attaching a lower portion of the waterproof layer, extending beyond a lower edge of the water-permeable layer and folded over a lower portion of the water-permeable layer, to the lower portion of the water-permeable layer, such that a pocket is formed. Pleats may optionally be formed along the side edges of the layers during attachment of the water-permeable layer to the waterproof layer, such that the sleeve can be manually shaped as desired to take any one of a range of curved 3D configurations, according to a corresponding degree of pleat unfolding. The urine collection sleeve may be disposable, intended for a single use.
