Abstract

An anti-reflux valve mounted at the inlet port to the fluid collection chamber of a fluid collection bag and having a thin flexible valve element which is retained for limited floating movement over the inlet port and which flexes to permit flow of fluid into the collection chamber and which is moved against a valve seat surface surrounding the inlet port in response to fluid pressure inside of the collection chamber to thus prevent reflux of such fluid.
