ABSTRACT:
A device and method of use thereof for the drainage of fluids includes a cap, a rigid vessel and a plate-shaped top component fitted to a disposable bag. The bag with its top component is secured to a drainage aperture to form a seal with the undersurface of the plate and the rigid top component has an additional aperture fitted with a gas-permeable membrane. When a vacuum is applied, the bag opens first, followed by the creation of a vacuum inside the bag whereby the fluid is drained off via a drainage tube.
