ABSTRACT:
Disclosed herein is a fluid collection pouch which is extremely simple in design. The pouch utilizes a blank of fluid impervious material having a generally triangular shape including a first side and a second side joined at a common end point to themselves and at their distal ends to opposite ends of a third side. By joining the first and second sides to one another a fluid receiving chamber is formed with the third side forming an open end to the chamber and the joined distal ends of the first and second sides forming a flap portion which extends above the open end of the chamber. The fluid collection pouch is particularly well-suited for use in surgical procedures in which case it may be joined to a surgical drape in the expected path of fluid run-off or provided with a fenestration in the flap portion for registry with a corresponding fenestration in the surgical drape.
