Outflow collection vessels, systems, and components thereof for hysteroscopic surgical procedures

A surgical system, comprising:

• a surgical instrument;
• a vacuum pump;
• and
• a collection system for collecting outflow from the surgical instrument, the collection system comprising:
• a collection vessel defining an internal volume and including a top portion and a bottom portion, the collection vessel including a top plate at the top portion of the collection vessel and a body extending from the top plate, the collection vessel transitionable between a collapsed configuration and an expanded configuration;
• a mounting stand including an upper retainer and a lower retainer, the upper retainer of the mounting stand configured to retain the top portion of the collection vessel and the lower retainer of the mounting stand configured to retain the bottom portion of the collection vessel, the upper and lower retainers configured to retain the collection vessel thereon in the expanded configuration;
• at least one top eyelet extending from a face of the top plate opposite the body, the at least one top eyelet configured to receive at least one support arm therein to support the top portion of the collection vessel;
• outflow tubing connecting the surgical instrument with the internal volume of the collection vessel;
• vacuum tubing connecting the vacuum pump with the internal volume of the collection vessel;
• at least one bottom eyelet extending substantially vertically from the bottom portion of the collection vessel, the at least one bottom eyelet configured to receive at least one other support arm therein to support the bottom portion of the collection vessel;
• and
• a support frame arranged in the collection vessel, the support frame defining a helical shape extending between the top portion and the bottom portion of the collection vessel, the support frame configured to provide structural support to the collection vessel.
