A self-standing urine collection bag that includes a bag of flexible
material having an air and liquid-tight closure; a pair of opposing
substantially flat, flexible side panels that are bonded to one-another
and that expand when the bag is filled; an inwardly-recessed, gusseted
bottom panel that is folded when the bag is empty, and unfolded
when the bag is full; wherein the bottom panel provides support
for the side panels so that, when filled with urine, the bag is
self-supporting and can maintain a stable vertical standing position
when resting on a substantially horizontal surface. A self standing
urine bag system that maintains the bag's volumetric reading precision
by using a reusable, rigid frame to deploy fully the flexible, disposable
bag.
A urine bag for a male human has a pouch with an opening defined
in the pouch, a fastener mounted around a periphery defining the
opening, and an arcuate piece mounted between the arcuate piece
and the periphery. The pouch is composed of a permeable layer, an
absorbent layer, and a waterproof layer. The urine bag can be worn
to collect urine from a user who does not have convenient access
to a toilet, and the urine bag is disposable after use.
