A suction collection system particularly suitable for drawing fluids from a patient area and storing the fluids for later use or disposal, which is operable in any orientation of the device, thereby providing a field operable system which may be transported in battlefield conditions. The portable suction system consists of a cylindrical evacuating chamber with a top sealing cap. A suction port on the sealing cap is connected to the fluid collection bag, which consists of a laminar flexible plastic bag having an air permeable, liquid impermeable patch or portion through which air may pass for purposes of providing a vacuum suction, yet the collected fluids will remain in the bag. The suction power is provided by a vacuum pump which is electronically regulated by periodically energizing and de-energizing the pump to conserve power supply energy.

A flexible bag for collecting fluids which is adapted to be disposed in a vacuum chamber; said bag being formed of two sheets of flexible plastic material sealed at the peripheral edges forming two planar surfaces, at least one such surface having a porous portion forming an air permeable/fluid impermeable path to the interior of said bag, such that when introduced into said chamber, an air suction path for collecting fluids is established, the portion having sufficient surface area in two directions to provide an air pathway to the chamber above a predetermined level of fluid collection in any orientation of the chamber.
