Method and a receptable bag for emptying a urinary bag

A receptacle bag for emptying a urinary drainage bag through a drainage bag outlet, the receptacle bag comprising:

• a receptacle compartment configured for receiving urine emptied from the urinary drainage bag through the drainage bag outlet;
• a fluid-absorbent powder contained in the receptacle compartment;
• a connector defining a receptacle bag inlet and configured for fluidly coupling the drainage bag outlet to the receptacle compartment, so as to permit the flow of urine into the receptacle compartment from the drainage bag outlet;
• and
• a non-return receptacle valve configured for regulating the flow of urine through the receptacle bag inlet, wherein the non-return receptacle valve is further configured for allowing fluid to flow only into the receptacle compartment through the receptacle bag inlet, and for allowing the fluid-absorbent powder to be introduced through the receptacle bag inlet into the receptacle compartment.

A packaged receptacle bag, wherein the receptacle bag is configured for emptying a urinary drainage bag through a drainage bag outlet, the packaged receptacle bag comprising:

• a receptacle compartment configured for receiving urine emptied from a urinary drainage bag through a drainage bag outlet;
• a connector defining a receptacle bag inlet and configured for fluidly coupling the drainage bag outlet to the receptacle compartment, so as to permit the flow of urine into the receptacle compartment from the drainage bag outlet;
• and
• a non-return receptacle valve configured for regulating the flow of urine through the receptacle bag inlet, wherein the non-return receptacle valve is further configured for allowing the urine to flow only into the receptacle compartment through the receptacle bag inlet;
• and
• packaging containing the receptacle bag and having an openable portion defining, when opened, an opening configured for allowing the connector to extend out of the opening while the receptacle bag is inside the packaging, so as to permit a sterile connection to the urinary drainage bag.

A drainage system for wound drainage, comprising:

• a receptacle bag configured for collecting liquid from a wound;
• and
• a tube configured to connect the receptacle bag to the wound;
• wherein the receptacle bag includes a receptacle compartment configured for storing the liquid and having a receptacle inlet, the receptacle inlet including a connector having a distal end defining a female funnel receiving the tube;
• and
• wherein the tube extends more than about 0.5 m between a first tube end and a second tube end, the first tube end defining a male funnel placed in the female funnel, and the second tube end comprising a male Luer lock fitting.
