  • Fluid containment bag
    Patent number: 5961501
    Abstract: A fluid containment bag is constructed of three sheets sealed along their perimeters but for a portion defining an opening. Two adjoining sheets define an envelope having a hollow interior into which bodily fluids may be received through the opening for receiving the bodily fluids from a catheter via a flutter valve. A hydrophilic material within the bag gels rapidly upon contact with the bodily fluids in the bag and facilitates closure of the valve.

  • Fluid containment bag
    Patent number: 5531724
    Abstract: A containment and disposal system for human bodily fluids includes a bag and a holster that allows a user to quickly and easily remove and replace the bag. The bag includes an envelope having a hollow interior, an opening for receiving the bodily fluids from a catheter via a one-way valve, and hydrophilic material within the bag that rapidly gels bodily fluids in the bag upon contact. Prior to and during gellation, the one-way valve inhibits escape of the bodily fluids. The gellation sequesters the bodily fluids, and the gelled material further facilitates closure of the one-way valve. The hydrophilic material may include a polymer that is activated upon contact with the bodily fluids.
