There has been a considerable need for many years to develop a leakproof urinal for small boys with urinary incontinence. Dissatisfaction with available urinals encouraged our development of the present equipment.
The phallus in young boys is too small for attachment of a conventional condom-type device. Our attention was, therefore, focused on a condom which could be sealed against the skin around the base of the penis. The Hill-Davol condom urinal proved suitable for modification. This was achieved by precutting the diaphragm which fits around the penis and is pressed against the skin around the base.
The diaphragm is an integral part of the condom and is pressed against the skin around the penis.
