Abstract

Thoracic drainage apparatus for medical use comprises a flexible body fluid collection bag (10) having an inlet (12) with a non-return valve (13) for entry of the body fluid and having a valve controlled vent opening (14) for escape of air. A mass (20) of super-absorbent material is located within the bag so as to be separated by an air space (23) from the inlet (12) and vent opening (14) whereby communication between the latter is maintained even when the mass (20) as absorbed liquid to its maximum absorption capacity. The bag may provide a visual indication of its dry weight to enable the weight of body fluid absorbed more readily to be calculated.
