Abstract
A tube connection adapter for coupling one or more tubes of a chest drainage system to a bottle. The adapter has a body adapted to fit onto the mouth of a bottle, the body having an inlet fitting adapted to be connected to a tube of the drainage system to permit entry of fluid into the bottle, and a pressure relief valve adapted to communicate with the interior of the bottle to permit release of pressure in the event of a pressure build-up occurring within the bottle. The pressure relief valve may include a simple ball valve or poppet valve and can be fitted into the adapter body even when there are two or more inlet/outlet fittings.
