[0030] like Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments of this utility model, the T-tube connector 4 is tapered, and the top of the T-tube connector 4 is provided with an anti-detachment barb 10. The tapered shape of the T-tube connector 4 facilitates the insertion of the T-tube and can adapt to T-tubes of different diameters to a certain extent. After connection, the anti-detachment barb 10 can tighten the inner wall of the T-tube, making the connection firm and not easy to loosen, effectively preventing leakage of drainage fluid.
[0031] like Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments of this utility model, the three-way valve 3 includes a first interface, a second interface, and a third interface. The first interface is fixedly connected to the drainage tube 2, the second interface is detachably connected to the T-tube connector 4, and the third interface is detachably connected to a sterile sealing cap 11. The second interface is detachably connected to the T-tube connector 4, meaning that the second interface can be connected to multiple specifications of connectors as needed, such as T-tube connector 4, pagoda connectors, and spiral connectors, achieving multi-purpose use of one bag and adapting to different catheter diameters. The third interface is detachably connected to the sterile sealing cap 11, and the sampling port of the sterile sealing cap 11 is covered with a puncturable silicone diaphragm, allowing the syringe to directly puncture and sample, avoiding open contamination.
[0032] The embodiments of this application have now been described in detail. To avoid obscuring the concept of this application, some details known in the art have not been described.
