摘要

A chair or table for medical or surgical patients has in one form of the invention an outwardly bowed facility, preferably removable and replaceable, along an end of the chair or table down whose seat or top liquid and debris cascades during an examination or surgical procedure, to receive and retain a flap extending from and along one margin of the opening of a catch bag of flexible sheet material while a second flap, extending from and along the opposite margin of such opening of the catch bag, overlies the seat of the chair or the table top at such end of the chair or table and is preferably secured to such chair seat or table top by pressure sensitive adhesive applied to the overlying flap of the bag. In another form of the invention, the catch receptacle itself has an elongate stiff but malleable member incorporated therein extending along such opposite margin of the bag opening for bending outwardly of the opening to hold the bag open when installed on the chair or table.
