Devices and methods for drainage, infusion, or instillation of fluids

A system for draining fluids from and/or infusing fluids into a patient's body, comprising:

• a valve device comprising a housing comprising first, second, and third connectors, a primary fluid path communicating between the first and second connectors and a secondary fluid path communicating from the primary fluid path to the third connector, wherein the third connector is configured to prevent fluid flow therethrough unless a mating connector is fully coupled thereto, the valve device further comprising first and second valve members for selectively closing flow along the primary fluid path through the first and second connectors, respectively;
• a tubular member comprising a first end sized for introduction in a patient's body and a second end comprising a tubular member connector configured to couple to the first connector;
• and
• a container for storing fluid from the patient's body comprising tubing including a container connector configured to couple to the second connector, thereby providing a fluid path from the tubular member through the primary fluid path and tubing into the container.

A method for draining fluids from and/or infusing fluids into a patient's body, comprising:

• providing a valve device comprising first, second, and third connectors, a primary fluid path communicating between the first and second connectors and a secondary fluid path communicating from the primary fluid path to the third connector, wherein the third connector is configured to prevent fluid flow therethrough unless a mating connector is fully coupled thereto, the valve device further comprising first and second valve members for selectively closing flow along the primary fluid path through the first and second connectors, respectively;
• providing a tubular member comprising a first end introduced in a patient's body and a second end extending from the patient's body;
• coupling the tubular member second end to the first connector;
• coupling tubing from a container to the second connector, thereby providing a fluid path from the tubular member through the primary fluid path and tubing into the container;
• coupling a source of at least one of vacuum and inflation media to the third connector to open the secondary flow path between the primary fluid path and the source;
• and
• activating at least one of the first and second valve members to close at least a portion of the primary fluid path.
