A container for the collection and disposal of emesis comprises a rigid frame and a flexible bag. The frame and the bag are typically stored as separate parts prior to use and assembled just prior to or in anticipation of a use. Subsequent to use the bag is dissembled from the frame and sealed and disposed of, with the frame optionally reused or disposed of. Optionally the frame and bag are disposed of as a unit without subsequent disassembly. Frames, bags, and other ancillary parts of the unit are inexpensively manufactured of molded polymers or plastics, and are inexpensive enough for single use as warranted.

A receptacle designed to aid in both the reception and the containing of emesis or vomit which significantly prevents spilling and splashing therefrom. The receptacle is portable and includes a main body defining an emesis containment chamber therein. A neck which includes a neck conduit extending therethrough is secured to an opening in communication with the emesis containment chamber to facilitate the flow of emesis therein. A mouthpiece means which is arcuate and is designed to universally abut the surrounding mouth area of a patient or user to further minimize any possibility of external splashing or leakage of emesis during use. A baffling device is included as well as optionally a one-way valve within the conduit defined in the neck to minimize back flow or splashing or spillage upwardly therethrough. Preferably a handle may be included including two handles which can be grasped by a user during use or which alternatively defined downwardly extending slots which can be secured to surrounding environmental structure such as bed rails to further aid retaining of the receptacle during usage. An auxiliary opening with detachable cap means therefore may be also defined in the main body of the receptacle.

A portable receptacle for receiving and containing emesis has a main body member defining an emesis containment chamber, a neck connected to the main body member, and a mouthpiece attached to the neck at an end thereof opposite the main body member. The neck defines a conduit communicating with the chamber. A baffle structure and/or one-way valve is positioned substantially within the conduit to allow emesis to move therethrough into the chamber and to minimize spillage and leakage outwardly through the conduit from the chamber.
