ABSTRACT:
A front entry, flexible urinary collection bag with an inlet opening at a front wall thereof is connected with a fluid source through a rigid header attached to the flexible bag adjacent the inlet opening at the front of the bag and a fluid conductive connector held in coupling engagement by the header and having an elongate portion which makes fluid connection with the front of the bag through the inlet opening. The portion extends at an acute angle relative to the back of the bag when empty and makes connection with the front of the bag at a location laterally offset from the plane of symmetry, so that the back wall will not asymmetrically bulge away from the central plane of symmetry relative to the front of the bag. A front entry urinary collection bag adapted for automated urinary output monitoring is made by attaching a relatively rigid header to the top of the bag, attaching the inlet coupler to the front of the bag adjacent the top, inserting a male fluid conductive connector into mating relationship with a female connector carried by the header at the top of the bag and coupling a downwardly extending portion of the male connector to the inlet coupler.
