Abstract

A belt extends about the waist of a patient and is secured at a selected tightness thereon, the securing device being adjustable as to tightness. An outside surface of the belt provides plural spaced apart elongate fasteners aligned with a longitudinal axis of the belt, each of the fasteners comprising a first surface attachment element integral with the outside surface of the belt, and a second surface attachment element permanently fastened at one end of the first surface attachment element and extending longitudinally in removable, mutually engaged contact with the first surface attachment element. A fluid storing bulb has an inlet nipple adapted for receiving a fluid conduit for conducting a bodily fluid into the bulb, and has an outlet nipple adapted for expulsing the fluid collected. A stopper, temporarily seals the outlet nipple when it is not in use. An attachment band provides a loop adapted for receiving one of the second surface attachment elements for engaging the fluid storing bulb with the belt within reach of a person wearing the belt. A fluid conduit engages the inlet nipple of the fluid storing bulb at one end, and at the other end, the source of the bodily fluid.
