Abstract
The present invention provides a disposable bag for the collection of body fluids with an improved sealing structure. The disposable bag comprises a flexible collection bag having a pair of seal strips adjacent its open end. A resiliently flexible funnel is sealing attached within the open end of the bag in a position to not interfere with the seal strips and a flexible non-return valve is sealed to the bottom of the funnel. A gauge indicating the volume of fluid collected and a label portion for identification are provided on a side of the bag.
