Abstract: An apparatus for taking a twenty-four hour urine collection, particularly for infants or very young children. A urine collection bag is air-tightly adhesively attached to the patient over the urinary area in a position to receive the urine. A pair of tubes are attached to the bag, one of which is an air supply tube and is connected between the upper end of the bag and the outlet of an air pump. The other tube is a drainage tube and is connected between the bottom of the bag and the top of a graduated cylindrical container supported over an ice bucket. Another tube connects the top end of the container to the inlet of the air pump, thus providing air flow through the bag which induces suction and aspirates the urine entering the bag into the drainage tube and thence to the cylindrical container, and keeps the interior of the bag substantially dry.
