Abstract
An exhaust collection bag for cryogenic treatment is described herein and may generally comprise a first layer and a second layer attached along a periphery and forming an enclosed volume. The periphery defines four radiused corners and an extension member. A tubing connector may be positioned along the first layer and extend through the first layer and may also be located along a centerline of the first layer and in proximity to a bottom edge of the first layer. A drain closure may also be positioned along the first layer and located away from the centerline and in proximity to the bottom edge.
Claims10
A method of disposing an exhaust gas, comprising:
- fluidly coupling a tubing from a cryoablation instrument to a collection bag such that an exhaust gas is received from the cryoablation instrument and into the collection bag over a course of a cryoablative treatment upon a subject;
- decoupling the tube from a tubing connector attached to the collection bag;
- and
- collapsing the collection bag from a proximal end to a distal end such that the collection bag collapses while venting the exhaust gas through a drain closure located in proximity to the distal end of the collection bag.
