Abstract
A collection vessel for drainage of body fluids includes a molded body with internal dividers constituting ports, baffles and subchambers, and a face plate that closes the body to form a suction-regulated multi-chamber vessel. The vessel has overpressure and underpressure protection, and resists tipping. The molded body includes a wall structure that enhances its utility for blood collection, monitoring, and reinfusion, and incorporates novel valves, ports, handle and stand.
