ABSTRACT:
A portable liquid collection device is disclosed which is used for draining the pleural cavity or the like. An electric pump and battery means are located inside of a housing. Also located inside of the housing are an adjustable valve and a manually operated emergency pump. A detachable liquid collection chamber is held to the housing by a handle and a latch on the handle. Extending from the pump to the collection chamber through the handle is a vacuum line. When a hose from the pleural cavity is connected to the collection chamber, the electric pump is turned on by a switch and creates a vacuum in the chamber which draws liquids through the hose. If liquid in the chamber rises too high, a float valve in the chamber prevents any liquid from being drawn into the vacuum line.
