Abstract

A cover () having one or more openings () and one or more complementary closure devices () fits about a fluid drain bag, such as a urinary catheter drain bag (). The cover () can be configured to be both partially transparent and partially opaque. Accordingly, a health services provider () can instantly perform rudimentary analysis of the fluid level () with a quick glance, yet can perform more in-depth analysis by lifting a front panel () at the lower opening (). The in-depth analysis can be done without removing the cover (). The coveris also semiopaque, thereby protecting patient dignity by obfuscating the cover's contents.
