Method of receiving and disposing of fluids from the body

摘要

A method for receiving and disposing of fluids from the human body includes the steps of disposing a semi-rigid burst resistive container within a rigid outer canister and supporting the inner container such that there is a space defined between the side walls of the semi-rigid inner container and the rigid outer canister. The open end of the semi-rigid inner container is fixedly covered and the fluids from the body are received within the inner container through this cover. A vacuum is applied both to the interior of the semi-rigid inner container and the space around the periphery thereof to provide an equalized pressure on both sides thereof. When the body fluids are received within the semi-rigid inner container, both the cover and the semi-rigid inner container are removed as an integral unit for disposal thereof.
