ABSTRACT:
The present invention uses straps and fasteners to adjustably support a receptacle on a patient who is recovering from a surgery or wound. Drainage from the wound or surgical incision is directed into the receptacle, which is fastened to a primary strap in any position that is convenient and comfortable for the patient. The extensive adjustability of the system facilitates prompt patient ambulation by allowing the patient to locate the receptacle in a position that maximizes comfort and minimizes personal inconvenience.
