A fluid containment bag is constructed of three sheets sealed along their perimeters but for a portion defining an opening. Two adjoining sheets define an envelope having a hollow interior into which bodily fluids may be received through the opening for receiving the bodily fluids from a catheter via a flutter valve. A hydrophilic material within the bag gels rapidly upon contact with the bodily fluids in the bag and facilitates closure of the valve.
