Manifold For A Medical/Surgical Waste Collection Assembly - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240008946 titled 'Manifold For A Medical/Surgical Waste Collection Assembly

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a manifold for a medical/surgical waste collection assembly. The manifold includes a shell with a proximal end base and a lip extending from the base. The lip surrounds an off-centered outlet opening in the base. A cap with a cap head is attached to the side wall of the shell. A drip stop can be placed within the space defined by the lip to cover the outlet opening. An arcuate section of the lip may be flush with an adjacent section of the side wall. The cap head has a through hole, and a flapper valve unit is connected to the cap head with another component that has ears extending through the through hole. The cap head also has a fence that can be grasped by a user.

  • The manifold is designed for a medical/surgical waste collection assembly.
  • It includes a shell with a proximal end base and a lip extending from the base.
  • The lip surrounds an off-centered outlet opening in the base.
  • A cap with a cap head is attached to the side wall of the shell.
  • A drip stop can be placed within the space defined by the lip to cover the outlet opening.
  • An arcuate section of the lip is flush with an adjacent section of the side wall.
  • The cap head has a through hole.
  • A flapper valve unit is connected to the cap head with another component that has ears extending through the through hole.
  • The cap head also has a fence that can be grasped by a user.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Medical waste collection and disposal systems
  • Surgical waste management in hospitals and clinics
  • Waste collection assemblies in healthcare facilities

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Efficient and safe collection of medical/surgical waste
  • Prevention of leakage or spillage during waste disposal
  • Easy and convenient handling of waste collection assemblies

Benefits of this technology:

  • Improved hygiene and sanitation in healthcare facilities
  • Reduction of contamination risks during waste disposal
  • Enhanced efficiency in waste management processes


Original Abstract Submitted

manifold for a medical/surgical waste collection assembly. a shell includes a proximal end base, and a lip extending proximally from the proximal end base. the lip extends around an outlet opening defined in the proximal end base that is off-centered to a longitudinal axis of the shell. a cap including a cap head is coupled to a side wall of the shell. a drip stop may be seated within a space defined by the lip to cover the outlet opening. an arcuate section of the lip may be flush with an adjacent section of the side wall. the cap head may define a through hole, and a flapper valve unit may be coupled to the cap head with another component having ears extending through the through hole. a fence may extend from the cap head and configured to be grasped by a user.
