  • Medical system and disposable medical vacuum drainage bag for use with same
    Patent number: 11628289
    Abstract: A disposable medical vacuum drainage bag includes a flexible enclosure made of a flexible material. The flexible enclosure is configured to define an interior chamber. The flexible enclosure has a first fluid port and a second fluid port. The flexible enclosure has a collapsed state and an expanded state. A framework is located in the interior chamber. The framework has a plurality of frame structures configured to rotate in unison about separate rotational axes between a collapsed configuration and an expanded configuration, wherein the collapsed configuration facilitates the collapsed state of the flexible enclosure and the expanded configuration facilitates the expanded state of the flexible enclosure. An actuator is coupled to the framework. The actuator is configured to rotatably transition the plurality of frame structures between the collapsed configuration and the expanded configuration.
