Question 1

What is the approximate size of the collection (upper) portion?

Accepted Answer

Hi, Bala,I, too, wondered about this when ordering for my late father's use.  The picture doesn't show anything in reference to help you figure it out.  It was about 7 or 8 inches long.  The opening was about 2 to 2.5 inches across and had some sort of soft baffle around it for comfort.  A "normal" sized man would have no problem using this.  My father found it an improvement over the standard hard plastic urinal handed out in hospitals.  Hope this helps!Lovestoast!

Question 2

I have no idea how the clamp works to empty it or to close it again

Accepted Answer

Hope,  I am sorry it took so long to respond to your question. You wanted to know how the white plastic clamp works to empty and the bag on the Portable Urnial system and then how to close it again.  My explanation is a little long, but please bear with me. Since the Portable Urinal works by gravity, both filling and emptying the urinal bag, you always want to have the bag lower than the urinal container where urine first goes in. When I am wanting to empty the urinal bag, I first hang the urinal containing using the grip handle of the urinal itself to hang it on something higher than the toilet bowl but close enough so that you can hold the bag by the hanging clip, over the opening to the toilet bowl. As you are holding the bag by the square shaped hanging clip, you will use you other hand to grap the short dark drain hose with a white opening and closing clamp and pull the tip of the drain hose out of the clear plastic holder. For the next step, it is important to make sure that you are pointing the drain hose toward water in the toilet bowl and you usually want to hold the drain hose about 6 inches to 1 foot of the water to not splash or spill. To open and close the drain hose clamp, there is a small plastic tab in the middle of clamp, which you can open and close with your thumb as you keep the drain hose pointed toward water in the toilet. When the bag is drained, you push down on the tab which you opened, which clamps down on the hose, preventing it from leaking. It is always best to re-insert the tip of the drain hose back into the clear plastic holder as additional security against catching the clamp on something and opening it up at the wrong time. Before I leave the toilet area, I always rinse the bag twice by reclamping the drain hose on the bag and fill it almost full with warm water and drain that in the toilet, and then repeat.  It is also best to practice each of these steps at least once while the bag is either empty or filled with water to get comfortable with each step of the this process. I hope this helps.

Question 3

how long is the tubing measured from the bottom of the urninal to the top of the collection bag?

Accepted Answer

The 2018 version has a tube that is 45-46” in length.

Question 4

My husband has used something similar to this before but says the "funnel" part is too small and urine backs up. Will this take the full force urine?

Accepted Answer

"full fore urine" is somewhat subjective.  Although I've had to replace the bag twice due to leakage and have kept it in a pan, I've used this device reasonably successfully for about two years filling it up to 1000-1200 ml with about 3 slow discharges nightly.  Unless the funnel is positioned as high as possible, a full force discharge (say 500 ml) while in the bed it could spill over.
