Abstract:

A cover for a body fluid drainage bag (10) and the tubing (12) thereof comprises an envelope shaped bag cover (14) and a tubing cover (16). The tube cover comprises an elongated sheet of flexible material having first and second mating tube-forming attachment devices (78 and 82) at opposite side edges thereof so that the side edges (76 and 8) can be held together to form a tubular shape about the tubing of a body fluid drainage bag. The tubing cover is separate from the envelope shaped bag cover, however, it is attachable to the envelope shaped bag cover and can extend down into any one of a plurality of openings (54,56, and 58) into the envelope-shaped bag cover. Two spaced closing flaps (48 and 50) are at an open edge (59) of the envelope-shaped bag cover. The envelope-shaped bag cover has a viewing window (34) therein so that one can see accumulated body fluids in the body fluid drainage bag therein.
