ABSTRACT:
The invention provides a body liquid drainage device (9) particularly for urine, said device comprising a first liquid storage chamber (20) formed of a flexible plastics material and provided with an upper inlet (1) for body liquids, and a lower valved outlet (12) for body liquids.
A second liquid storage chamber (10) is operatively connected to the first liquid storage chamber (20) and is selectively fillable. Preferably said second chamber is moveable from a first position in which it is generally in parallel abutment with the first chamber thereby to overlie the same; to a second position in which it forms an extension of the first chamber. The device may be utilized in a lower capacity mode during daytime, and in a higher capacity second mode in non-ambulant times or during night-time.
This arrangement prevents invasive infections occurring because inter-connection between in-dwelling catheter and the drainage bags are infrequent.
