ABSTRACT:
An enclosure is disclosed for use with a bodily fluid drainage unit of the type comprising a flexible plastic bag having an upwardly extending flexible filler tube connectible to a patient for receiving bodily fluids, and hanger means extending from the upper end of same for enabling attachment to a receiving surface associated with the patient's environment. The enclosure receives the drainage unit therein to attractively conceal same, while simultaneously not impairing the functioning of the said unit. The enclosure is a generally flattened flexible envelope openable along one end for receiving the drainage unit. The openable end is provided on its opposed facing edges with mateable closures which enable closure of that end, and enable simultaneous nesting of the upwardly extending flexible filler tube of said drainage unit by the surrounding closure means. The envelope is provided at one flattened surface, and adjacent to the openable end, with one or more button-hole type openings extending through the envelope into the interior of same. These openings are alignable with the hanger means of the drainage unit emplaced within the envelope, to receive the hanger means through the openings, to enable the hanging functioning of same.
