Abstract
A urine meter bag for accurately measuring and storing urine passing from a patient including a meter for receiving the urine flow having a large measuring chamber and a smaller calibrated chamber into which the flow initially passes. Upon filling of the calibrated chamber, overflow passes into the large chamber. The meter rests in tandem against a flexible drainage bag and is in fluid communication therewith near the top so that the meter can be tipped and its contents emptied into the bag. A special support assembly pivoted on the bag hanging bracket includes slotted side arms which straddle the meter and receive pivot pins on the meter which facilitate support and emptying of the meter into the bag.
