ABSTRACT:
A bulb evacuator is provided for closed wound suction having a flexible compressible container with a pair of inlets having one way valves therein and a port to a suction source with a removable cap thereon at one end of the bulb evacuator. The opposite end of the bulb evacuator is provided with an integrally formed anti-reflux valve and a latching device surrounding the anti-reflux valve. A separate collection bag can be attached to the latching device so that when the bulb evacuator is filled with fluid from a closed wound, it can be compressed to force the fluid into the attached collection chamber and simultaneously creating a suction within the bulb evacuator to promote further withdrawal of fluids from the closed wound.
