Rescr, Cincinnati, Ohio, assignors to Ritter Pfaudler Corporation, Rochester, N.Y., a corporation of New York Continuation-impart of application Ser. No. 311,741, Sept. 26, 1963. This application Nov. 7, 1966, Ser. No. 600,332
9 Claims. (Cl. 128-292) This invention relates to a surgical drain bag and support assembly for receiving bodily fluid draining from a patient during a medical examination or operation. The bag and support means of this invention are particularly intended for use with surgical and urological tables.
This application is a continuation-in-part of our copending application Ser. No. 311,741, filed Sept. 26, 1963, now abandoned.
In urological and certain types of surgical practice the patient reclines on a table which is positionable, with respect to its supporting stand, both in the vertical direction and about a horizontal axis. The physician or surgeon works at one end of the table, facing the K.U.B. tract area.
In examination and surgery upon the patient it frequently occurs that fluids drain in some quantity from the KUB tract, and it is therefore customary to provide some means for receiving or collecting the draining fluids.
In the past there has been provided for this purpose a metal drawer-like box which is pulled out from beneath the end of the table for collecting such draining fluids.
The drawer type of fluid collecting means has presented the disadvantage that it must be pushed back into the table as the doctor approaches the table more closely than permitted by the drawer in its fully or semi-extended position; the drawer must then be manually reopened as the doctor again steps back from the end of the table.
It has been a primary objective of this invention to provide a surgical drain bag and support assembly which in the normal position will present an adequate area for receiving or collecting draining fluids, yet which will gradually close with almost no effort as the doctor approaches the table more closely, and which will automatically reopen as he thereafter moves away.
In carrying out the primary objective of the invention it has been a further objective to provide a surgical drain bag and support means therefor which will present an increasingly greater vertical area of splash protection to the doctors person as he moves toward the examining or operating table.
Another object of the invention has been to provide a drain bag and modified support means therefor which can be moved, as desired, between fully open or drain position, through an attitude affording maximum splash protection, to a fully closed position in which the bag and support are completely out of the way, to afford maximum elbow room to the surgeon.
Another object of the invention has been to provide a sterilizable, disposable bag which can readily be attached to and removed from its support means on the table as needed, and which can be inexpensively manufactured.
The further details of the structure and use of the surgical drain bag and support means of this invention may best be described by reference to the accompanying drawings, in which:

FIGURE 10 is a perspective View similar to FIGS. 8 and 9 but showing the modified support in fully closed or folded position, to give maximum elbow room.
A surgical drain bag in accordance with the invention is designated generally by thenumeral 10 in the drawings. In FIGURE 1 thebag 10 is shown as mounted for use by the support means of the invention at the operating end of a surgical or urological table 11 which is provided with X-ray equipment. With the exception of the bag support means provided thereon, to be described hereinafter, the table 11 may be conventional. For illustrative purposes, a suitable table 11 includes abase 12, atable support column 13 extending above thebase 12, and apatient table frame 16 which is movably connected to and supported by thecolumn 13. As is conventional, thetable frame 16 is equipped with adjustably positionableswingable knee crutches 17.X-ray apparatus 19 may be mounted to atube support 20 above thetable frame 16, and a Buckydiaphragm 21 is mounted in thetable frame 16 beneath theX-ray equipment 19 for radiographic work.
It will be understood that the patient rests on thesurface 22 of thetable frame 16 with his knees supported by thecrutches 17 in a position convenient for examination of the K.U.B. tracts, cystoscopy, transurethral surgery, etc. As shown in FIGURE 1, the surgeon or examining physician usually or frequently works seated on a stool at the end of the table. At the operating end thetable surface 22 may be extended angularly downward for drainage, as at 23.
One form of support means for thedrain bag 10 is shown in FIGS. 1, 2, 5 and 6 and is hinged or articulately connected to table frame 16' adjacent to and below the end of the table or theangular surface 23 thereof, through frame structure designated generally by 27.
Thebag 10 is best shown in FIGURES 3 and 4, and is of inverted pyramidal form, having afront wall 30, arear wall 31,side walls 32 and 33 and a bottom 34. (As used herein, front signifies the direction toward the head of the table, while rear signifies the opposite direction. It should be noted that opposite terminology is sometimes used in urological practice.) The width of the bag, i.e., the dimension between thesides 32 and 33 at the top, is preferably approximately equal to the width of thetable surface 22. Thefront wall 30 of the bag extends upwardly above theupper edges 37 of theside walls 32 and 33 to provide anapron 38. At the upper or forward edge ofapron 38 the sheet material is folded over and secured to 3apron 38 to define a tunnel 39 which extends from side to side of the apron.
Therear wall 31 of the bag It extends upwardly above theupper edges 37 of the side walls to provide a splash surface 41. The splash surface preferably extends out about 8 inches from theedges 37. The sheet material is folded over at the outer edge 45 of the splash surface 41 and is secured to itself along its side edges 44 to form a pocket 42 which opens at itslower end 43.
Thebag 10 may conveniently be formed from a blank of flexible water impervious sheet material such as .002 inch polyethylene, and may be assembled into the configuration described by conventional heat sealing techniques. In such fabrication, theside walls 32 and 33 may be sealed along their center or vertically bisecting lines. The tunnel and pocket portions may also be adhered by heat sealing.
A drain outlet opening is provided in bottom 34 of thebag 10. This outlet comprises a flanged, tubular drain coupling 47 which is secured into an opening in the bottom of the bag. A strainer 48 is fitted into the drain coupling 47 on the interior of the bag. As shown in FIG- URE 4, the strainer 48 may simply comprise a coil spring which is wound closed upon itself at its upper end.
Thebag 10 is connected to thetable frame 16 by means which cooperate with the tunnel 39 at the front of the bag and means which are engaged in pocket 42 at the rear of the bag. These means include, respectively, an elongated semi-flexible member or bendable flat strip or bar 54 which is passed through the tunnel 39, and abail 55 which is inserted into the pocket portion 42 of the bag (see FIGURES 2, and 6).
Thetable frame 16 is provided with two spaced brackets, one of which is shown at 58 in FIGURES 5 and 6. Thebrackets 58 are positioned, for example, closely beneath and slightly forward of the table end or of the lower edge of the angulatedsurface 23 of the table. The spacing of thesebrackets 58 corresponds to the width of theapron 38 of the bag, and should preferably be about equal to the width of the table. Eachbracket 58 is provided with a recess or aperture for receiving an end of theflexible strip 54. Projecting tips are formed at the top edge of thestrip 54 at each end thereof for insertion into the recesses inbrackets 58. The bag is connected along its forward edge to the table by slightly bending thestrip 54 inserted into the tunnel 39, as shown in FIGURE 5, and seating its opposite ends in the respective recesses of the mountingbrackets 58.
The splash surface 41 of the bag is supported in open position or attitude with respect to theapron 38 by thebail 55 previously mentioned. Thisbail 55 may be formed in heavy wire, and is generally U-shaped in the horizontal plane. It has two upwardlybent legs 59 which are approximately perpendicular to the over-all plane of the bail. The sides orlimbs 56 of the U-shaped part of the bail are preferably bent slightly upwardly adjacent to theouter end 63 of the bail, as at 57 (see FIGURE 5).
At their respective upper ends thebail legs 59 are preferably turned inwardly toward each other as at 62. These inwardly turned tips 62 are inserted into and are swingable about a pair ofpivots 60 provided on thetable frame 16. With the bag removed, thelimbs 56 of the bail can be sprung slightly apart and the tips 62 inserted into thepivots 60. Thepivots 60 are preferably rearward of (i.e., away from the table surface) and slightly above the brackets 58 (see FIGURE 5) to provide for easier swingability of the bail. The pivots 69 are suitably mounted on atransverse brace 61 connected to the table frame, and as shown in FIGURE 6 thisbrace 61 acts as a stop against which thelegs 59 of the bail ordinarily rest under the influence of gravity. Tension of the sheet material, which increases with the weight of fluid in the bag, holds the tips 62 in their pivots 6%). When thetable surface 22 is horizontal the U-shaped portion of thebail 55 pref- 4 erably resides in such position that theouter edge 63 0f the bail is higher than the pivots 65 The projected length of the bail, that is, the distance from thepivots 60 to theouer edge 63 of the bail, is such than when thestrip 54 is inserted into tunnel 39 and is seated in itsbrackets 58 and the bail is inserted into the pocket 42, the bag hangs in open position as shown in FIGURE 6. Both theapron 38 and splash surface 41 slope downwardly toward the open mouth 65 of the bag.
By these support means 27 thedrain bag 10 is held in such position that bodily fluids draining from a patient on thetable surface 22 will run into thebag 10 off the angulatedtable surface 23 or will be directed into the bag from theapron 38 or splash surface 41. In use the drain outlet coupling 47 may be connected to a drain line, as shown at 67 in FIG. 1.
It may be noted in this connection that by reason of the diameter of the bail wire in relation to the thickness of the sheet material of which the bag 10' is made, the bail can provide, if the tension on the bag is not great, a slightly raised rim around the periphery of splash surface 41, i.e., around sides 44 and the outer edge 45 of the pocket. This rim helps confine fluid falling onto the splash surface 41 to prevent it from running over the outer edges of that surface and to cause it to drain into the bag. It will also be noted that the pliability of the flexible material reduces splash.
In normal open position the bag is held open by the bail so as to present a relatively large area in the horizontal plane to collect draining fluids. One of the important further advantages of the bag and bag support of this invention, however, is that the bag will yield as the surgeon moves close to the table, yet at the same time does so without reducing the effective area of protection and in fact by providing greater protection to the surgeon against splash. This feature of operation is shown in FIG- URE 2. As the surgeon approaches the end of the table more closely, theouter edge 63 of the bail is engaged by his chest and/ or arms and is lifted or swings upwardly about pivots 66. If the inclination of thetable frame 16 is such that theouter edge 63 of the bail is slightly above thepivots 60, a force directed toward the table in the horizontal direction will of itself cause the bail to be swung upwardly around the pivots. As this occurs, the splash surface 41 of the bag slides up the chest of the surgeon toward a more vertical position, thereby affording greater splash protection to that area of his person. The force of gravity holds the bail against the chest, and the bail moves up easily as the surgeon approaches the table, providing no significant impediment to his free movement. As the surgeon steps away from the table, gravity automatically restores the bag to maximum open position in which thelegs 59 rest againstbrace 61.
It can be seen from the foregoing description that, with the drain bag support shown in FIGS. 1, 2, 5 and 6, as the physician moves toward the table theouter end 63 of the bail will swing in an are about thepivots 60, and that as the splash surface 41 rises it may tend to block or screen and thereby limit the operating room in close proximity to the patient. It can also be seen that the bag will not ordinarily remain in a position in which thebail legs 59 are swung upwardly from theframe member 61.
In FIGURES 7-10 there is shown a modified form of drain bag support means, in which the bail, rather than being connected directly to the table, is connected to the table by an intermediate member which itself is pivotally connected to the table. This embodiment will hold the bag in a closed position, yet without restricting the surgeons movement.
The drain bag used in connection with the support shown in FIGURES 710 may be identical with that previously described, and is designated at 10 and has a tunnel and pocket as previously described. In this embodiment, thebail 55 hasupstanding legs 70 withinturned tips 71 at their upper ends (see FIG. 7). Thesetips 71 are pivotally journalled in apertures provided in spacedears 72 mounted on a U-shaped wire member, bail orpivot 73. The U-shaped member generally designated by 73 includesparallel limbs 74 and abase 75. The spacing of thelimbs 74 is slightly less than the spacing of thelegs 70 of thebail 55, so that thetips 71 can be engaged in theears 72. Theears 72 comprise sheet metal elements secured about therespective limbs 74adjacent base 75, as best shown in FIGURE 7. At their upper ends, thelimbs 74 are pivotally connected to pivot means on the table such as those designated by 60 previously described.
This doubly articulated connection of thebail 55 to the table permits the bail to be swung to a closed position in which it will remain, yet in which the splash surface does not block the operating area at all.
The normal attitude of the bag with the modified support is shown in FIGURE 8. Engagement of thebail legs 70 with theears 72 and/ orlimbs 74 prevents downward movement of thebail 55. In this position thebail 55 affords support to the surgeons arms, as shown in the figure. When a forwardly directed horizontal force is exerted upon thebail 55, thelegs 70 thereof pivot about thetips 71, as shown in FIGURE 9, swinging the apron of the bag upward and forwardly to a position of maximum splash protection. If released from such position, the weight of the bag will swing the bail downwardly to the position shown in FIGURE 8. However, if thebail 55 and the bag are swung over center, to the position shown in FIG-URE 10, it will be seen that the splash surface comes to rest against the table end below the table surface. This affords the surgeon a maximum of elbow room; moreover, his movement is not restricted by the weight of the bag and the bail does not press against him. Detents such as those shown at 76 in FIGURE 7 on theears 72 engage thelegs 70 and hold the bail in such position until manually swung back.
It is contemplated that the surgical drain bag may be sterilized in manufacture so as to be ready for immediate use as needed. The bag being of inexpensive construction, it is disposable and can be replaced at low cost after each use.
While a preferred embodiment of the invention has been described, it will be understood that the invention is not limited to that form alone but also includes other variations and modifications falling within the scope of the following claims.
