Abstract
A simple, inexpensive, non-invasive method for urine collection was us ed in 28 consecutive infants for periods of 48 hours (n=10) and 72 hou rs (n=18). The incidence of urine collector detachment was low on the first and second days (<4%) and increased significantly on the third d ay (28%). Volume of urine leaked was <4% of the total volume collected daily. This method is applicable to both sexes and is reliable for up to 48 hours.
