Leg Bag Extension Tube and Adapter, 18 Inch Tube

A urinary drainage bag is a sterile collection bag that connects to a catheter (inserted into the bladder) to collect and store urine safely outside the body. Commonly used for patients with urinary retention, incontinence, surgery, or limited mobility, these bags promote independence and hygiene.

Attach the drainage bag to the catheter tube securely. Hang bedside bags below bladder level for nighttime or immobile use, or strap a compact leg bag to the thigh/calf for mobility. Regularly empty the bag by opening the bottom drain spout or outlet valve into a toilet or measuring container. Wash your hands before & after handling.

Standard drainage bags should be changed every 5–7 days or sooner if soiled, leaking, or emitting odor. Disposable bags are single-use and should be replaced daily. Always follow your healthcare provider's instructions.

Rinse with warm soapy water after each emptying or at least once per day. After washing, disinfect with a solution of 1 part white vinegar to 3 parts water. Soak for 30 minutes, then rinse and air dry. Never use bleach or harsh chemicals, as these may damage the bag.

Secure the bag to your leg with straps. Use a waterproof cover for the catheter site or follow your nurse’s advice. Keep the bag and tube below the bladder at all times to prevent backflow.

Wash hands and wear gloves if possible. Avoid touching the drainage spout tip to any surface. Pour out urine into the toilet, avoiding splashes. Clean the outlet valve with an alcohol wipe after every emptying.
