Abstract:
1. A bodily fluid drainage assembly comprising: a fluid bag that defines an opening through which a bodily fluid can enter so as to be retained within the fluid bag, the fluid bag defining at least a front face and a rear face, wherein at least a portion of the front face of the fluid bag is transparent or semitransparent so as to permit viewing of the bodily fluid therethrough; and a cover attached to the assembly, wherein the cover is movable relative to the fluid bag between an obscuring orientation and a viewing orientation while the cover remains attached to the assembly, wherein when the cover is in the obscuring orientation it is positioned in front of the front face of the fluid bag to thereby obscure viewing of the front face of the fluid bag from a position in front of the assembly, wherein the cover comprises a first volume indicator that permits viewing of a portion of the front face of the fluid bag through the cover when the cover is in the obscuring orientation such that an approximate volume of a bodily fluid within the fluid bag can be determined when a top level of the bodily fluid is visible through the volume indicator.
