Abstract
A suction drain device of a disclosed liquid collecting apparatus actively pushes and pulls blood. This achieves liquid collection at high speed even under decreased pressure depending on a physiological state of an animal. Moreover, the liquid collecting apparatus includes a first flow path and a second flow path having a given length. Accordingly, the flow path with a given length set in advance and thus a known volume allows collection of a given amount volume of blood without measuring a length and an amount of blood using a volume measuring device. Accordingly, no need of the measuring device allows reduction in size of the liquid collecting apparatus. Consequently, the liquid collecting apparatus can be installed adjacent to the animal to achieve reduction in dead volume. Moreover, blood is flown to a fourth flow path branched with a connecting terminal, and is also flown to the second flow path branched with a connecting terminal. The blood flown in the second flow path is collected at the highest priority. This obtains collection of fresh blood from a collecting source as a blood supply source.
