Abstract:
1. A collapsible, flexible fluid containment device comprising: (a) a flexible bag body defining a containment space; (b) said bag body comprising a wall having a proximal end, distal end, and drainage area at its distal end and double-walled sleeves; (c) said wall including attached substantially semi-circular flexible structural support members positioned in the double-walled sleeves; (d) an elevated lower support in a double-wall sleeve positioned under the proximal end to create a gradient so fluids will migrate to the drainage area at the distal end; (e) means for accessing through said body bag and into said containment space; (f) a port in the drainage area of the distal end of the bag for draining fluids; and (g) a flexible perforated tube placed inside the device and exiting the port for collecting and removing fluids and tissue from the device, wherein the proximal end and distal ends fold towards each other to collapse into a compact structure for storage and disposal.
