ABSTRACT:
A drain bag support assembly has a multi-sided frame with pivotally interconnected parts that are vertically rigid, yet movable in a horizontal direction to varyingly distort the configuration of the frame. One part of the frame is removably connectable to an examining end of a urological table while a second part, opposite the first, has a pair of elbow pads mounted at opposite ends thereof to provide elbow support for a urologist seated adjacent the examining end of the table. The first and second parts of the frame support an upwardly opening drain bag, and the first and second parts are pivotally interconnected by a pair of spaced side arms. Each side arm has a first side member and a second side member pivotally connected to an intermediate plate. With elbows vertically supported by the pads, the urologist can change the configuration of the frame with respect to the table simply by moving the elbows in a horizontal direction. The shape of the bag conforms to the new configuration of the frame while at all times providing drainage and remaining between the urologist and the examining end of the table.
