Abstract
A fluid collection system for collecting fluids leaked from a surgical incision is provided. The fluid collection system broadly includes a baseplate having an adhesive backing that couples the baseplate to a patient's skin and includes a wafer having a centrally positioned opening. The opening receives a first end of a surgical drain tube. A wafer connector is disposed around the opening and detachably couples to a fluid remover connector on a fluid remover The leaked fluid remover defines a septum space and a septum is housed within the septum space. The septum has an orifice that receives a second end of the surgical drain tube. The septum is capable of moving about radially, axially and/or pivotally to alleviate side load tension on the septum caused by displacement of the surgical drain tube.
