Abstract
Hitherto, tub-like collector receptacles capable of being pulled forward in two guide rails in a drawer-like fashion have been utilized. These collector receptacles are bulky, cause interference during the examination process, and, even in the case of a restricted collector-volume, obstruct the knee-freedom of the physician conducting the examination. The disclosure here instead of the rigid collector receptacle, provides a collector receptacle which consists essentially of a plastic sack and a highly flexible band, guided on-edge, through a tubularly flanged border of the plastic sack for supporting the plastic sack. This band can be mounted in countersupports pivotal on the supports of the examination table. The upper edge of the plastic sack can be only partly tubularly flanged with another portion forming an approximately 70-cm-long and approximately 60-cm-wide sheet which can be placed on the patient support platform. This sheet, at its uppermost terminal edge, can be capable of being secured tightly to the body of the patient by means of a belt. At its deepest location, the plastic sack can have a tubular outlet fitting which can be coupled to a corresponding hose connection piece.
