摘要：
Biological fluids and other types of medical waste often must be collected during surgery or other medical procedures. This is typically accomplished using a medical waste fluid collection cart, which may be part of a medical waste fluid collection and disposal system. Such carts may include at least one suction canister where a vacuum port on the canister lid is connected to a source of vacuum via a hose or line. The medical waste collected in the canister may be drained through a drain in the canister. In some instances the drain may become clogged and/or a fluid level float valve within the canister may become obstructed with solid medical waste (e.g., blood clots, bone chips, etc.), which may require intervention. The medical waste fluid collection cart disclosed includes a interior surface (350) that extends along a ramped path, the interior surface following the path to direct collected waste toward the drain opening (354), the path declining toward the drain opening in the shape of a ramped crescent, the interior surface including a non-linear surface. The non-linear surface is disclosed as facilitating the prevention of build up of solids along the body of the container, to direct solid medical waste away from the base surface (355) and toward the drain opening.
