| Abstract: |
An improved incontinent appliance which may be easily and quickly fitted to the male patient and which is inexpensive, sanitary and light in weight. The invention provides a device for securing a rubber sheath or drainage condom on the human penis. This device is particularly well suited for use with roll-on, commercially available rubber condoms of the type having a rolled-up ring at the open end thereof. These condoms are inexpensive and are simply discarded after use. The device for securing the rubber sheath or condom on the penis comprises an annular retainer having a central aperture therein of sufficient diameter to permit the annular retainer to be slipped over the penis to which a condom has been applied and brought into contact with the patient's body. The annular element is provided with an outer peripheral portion. In use, the condom, which was previously rolled on to the patient, is manually stretched so as to draw the rolled up portion of same outwardly between the patients' body and the rear face of the annular element and around and over the above mentioned outer peripheral portion thereof thus securing the condom to the annular element. Connectors are provided on the front face of the annular element to permit the latter to be securely fastened to the patient by means of belts, straps or the like which are passed around the patients' body in appropriate fashion and secured to the above mentioned connectors.
