Abstract:
Embodiments herein provide a flexible accessory panel with apertures from which items may be suspended. In particular, receptacles for fluids draining from a patient may be suspended from the apertures, which are retained at a level below that of the patient, maintaining a gravitational flow. Maintaining downward flow of the draining fluids limits the backflow of draining fluid to the patient and reduces the risk of infection.
