A fluid collection pouch (32) which is extremely simple in design utilizes a blank of fluid impervious material having a generally triangular shape including a first side (12) and a second side (14) joined at a common end point (20) to themselves and at their distal ends (22, 24) to opposite ends of a third side (26). By joining the first and second sides (12, 14) to one another a fluid receiving chamber (32) is formed with the third side (26) forming an open end (34) to the chamber and the joined distal ends (22, 24) of the first and second sides (12, 14) forming a flap portion (38) which extends above the open end (34) of the chamber. The fluid collection pouch (32) 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. <IMAGE> |
