Founded around Dr. Faith Leibman’s experience working with disabled Veterans, Foxhole LLC makes The Orchid, a patented funnel-shaped device designed to make urine sample collection for women cleaner and less stressful. The device was developed with Utah State University’s Splash Lab after researchers studied splashback and fluid behavior, and it uses an FDA-approved silicone design that can be sanitized by gamma rays. Foxhole is also identified with woman-owned and service-disabled veteran-owned business certifications.
