A drainage receptacle support system for use by a postoperative patient. The support device includes an adjustable belt and a plurality of pouches for individually receiving a drainage receptacle. A loop is provided on the back of the pouch for slidably receiving the belt, so that the pouch may be positioned directly underneath or directly above an insertion point for the drainage tubes. The loop is positioned so that the pockets are held in a generally upright position. Preferably the support device is lightweight and washable, and the pockets and the loop include padding to distribute the weight of the receptacle. Additionally, a releasable hinge is provided to secure excess slack from a drainage tube to the body of a wearer and gussets are used to accommodate larger drainage receptacles in pockets, and elongated pouches with two security hinges accommodate narrow drains with valves in the middle of the tubing.
