The Peenlonger

thingiverse

I designed this medical prosthetic device to provide a sense of dignity and independence to bedridden patients with heavily buried/inaccessible urinary genitalia. The device is a simple, yet effective, way to allow patients to use a standard portable urinal from bed, without the need for assistance from a caregiver. The Peenlonger can be printed in any hard plastic. Polyethylene is top-rack dishwasher safe, which would make it easy to clean and disinfect. The device is placed against the patient's urethral opening and held there while they urinate. The device has a funnel-shaped opening that fits over the patient's urethra. The opening is large enough to allow for easy urination. For me, this was a valuable tool for my bedridden patient who had difficulty using a standard portable urinal. The device provides patients with a sense of dignity and independence, and it helps to reduce the risk of urinary tract infections.
