Abstract

A device is provided for convenient retention of a disposable, flexible, plastic waste bag for use in various medical procedures. The bag retaining device includes a liquid reservoir and an aperture in communication with the bag. A series of grippers maintains the bag under a mattress or the like to hold it in a secure posture and prevent it from becoming dislodged if accidentally struck.
