Abstract:
There is disclosed a suction operated body fluid collection bottle having cylindrical portion terminating in a dome-shaped portion. An opening is positioned centrally with respect to said dome. The sides of the opening are arranged to accept a screw cap closure. The said closure has an upwardly standing nipple arranged to be attached to a suction conduit line and a second nipple arranged to be attached to a conduit terminating at the other end at a source of body fluids. The arrangement of the bottle is designed to aspirate the body fluids into the container without permitting the fluids to actually reach the suction line. In another embodiment the aperture has an insert container which extends downwardly into the container. The insert container is calibrated to receive accurately measurable, small quantities of body fluid collected within both the bottle and the insert. Such insert includes overflow means whereby quantities in excess of a predetermined amount can overflow into the interior of the bottle.

Abstract:
An improved one-piece disposable fluid-filled compressible syringe comprised of a shielding disc molded into a substantially intermediate portion of the syringe neck and lying perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the syringe to promote aseptic technique in manipulating the syringe during use. The syringe also includes an improved syringe cap comprised of a disc, perpendicularly oriented to the longitudinal axis of the syringe, a semi-circular gripping piece perpendicularly mounted to one surface of the disc and a sleeve to receive the syringe tip mounted to the disc surface opposite to the surface to which the gripping piece is attached. The disc included in the syringe cap prevents a user's fingers from contacting the syringe tip during removal or replacement of the cap.
