    Abstract: Embodiments of the disclosed invention comprise a urostomy bag and an absorbent insert system, as well as methods for use. The urostomy bag comprises a storage bag having a primary aperture for interacting with a stoma on a device wearer, and a secondary aperture having a closure to seal and unseal the secondary aperture. The absorbent insert comprises a water-permeable outer layer that contains an absorbent core. The core includes a gelatinizing agent configured to make urine gelatinous. The absorbent insert is insertable into, and removable from, the inside of the storage bag via the secondary aperture. Methods for use of the disclosed urostomy system comprise attaching the urostomy bag to a wearer, inserting an unused absorbent insert into the secondary aperture, wearing the system, and replacing the used absorbent insert when required.

    Abstract: A disposable cupping tube for collecting fluid from a stoma with a hollow compressible cone seated on a rigid hollow stepped conical frustrum having an upper tier and lower tier. The lower tier having an inner wall sloped at a lower angle than the outside wall to maximize the contact area with the periphery of a stoma when the cone is compressed and the base of the stepped conical frustrum is passed over the stoma and pressed against the peristomal skin. An effective air seal is formed between the contact area and the stoma and between the base of the lower tier with the peristomal skin which is pulled up and around the base by the vacuum. A disc with perforations inserted into the lower tier divides the cupping tube into an upper and lower chamber when present.
