Abstract:

The present invention relates to an improved disposable emesis containment system comprising an expandable bag constituted of a non-porous, flexible polymeric material, such bag having a metal or plastic frame e.g., in the shape of a spring that permits expansion of the bag into a desired shape e.g. spherical, the bag having a large opening or aperture at the top upon expansion which opening is sealable by use of an associated draw- or pull-string and which expandable bag is stored in an easily opened, preferably resealable storage container in unexpanded form prior to usage. This system provides an improved means of storing and disposal of emesis and other noxious biological materials.
