ADJUSTABLE PERINEAL HARNESS AND URINE COLLECTION DEVICE

摘要

Urine is advantageously collected from an animal (10) using a perineal harness (100) in conjunction with a collection device (1000). The perineal harness (100) is placed against the buttocks in the perineum region of the animal (10), below the anus. A deflector plate (80) that is profiled to match of buttocks of the animal (10) is able to be snugly engaged against the buttocks of the animal (10) to effectively deflect faeces away from the animal (10) and urine collected from the animal (10). The collection device (1000) includes a storage chamber (200) supplied, via a tubular passage (300), with urine from the animal (10). Such a collection device (1000) desirably avoids wastage of collected urine, and allows the storage chamber (200) to be readily replaced and cleansed.
