ABSTRACT:
A gelling system for treating waste, such as bodily fluids, comprises a sealed receptacle (20) including a lid (21) and a chamber (23) within the receptacle for receiving the waste, a waste inlet port (24) in the lid connected to the interior of the chamber (23), an outlet port (25) in the lid (21) for connection to a suction source; and a container (1) for storing waste-treating material (e.g. a gelling agent), and for dispensing the waste-treating material into the chamber (23). When the suction system is in use is the container (1) is unattached to the receptacle (20) but, when it is desired to treat waste within the chamber (23), the container (1) is freely attachable to the receptacle (20) by means of an elongate dispensing nozzle (8) on the container which connects with the waste inlet port (24) to dispense the waste-treating material into the chamber. The container (1) has a removable cap (11) which in one position fits over the nozzle (8) of the container to form a fluid-tight seal on the nozzle (8), and which, in a second position, when removed from the nozzle (8), is used to seal the outlet port (25).
