Abstract
Fluid collection systems and methods are disclosed which may utilize suction to draw fluids into containers for storage and eventual disposal. The system may utilize rigid or semi-rigid canisters to provide a chamber in which fluids may be collected under negative pressure, stored, and transported. The system may utilize disposable or reusable flexible, semi-rigid, or rigid liners for isolating fluid and liquid waste from the walls of the canister. In various embodiments, either a single canister assembly or multiple canister assemblies are mounted to a manifold, the manifold being configured to support each canister assembly and/or provide a connection to a source of suction for each canister assembly.
