A catheter leg bag is a sterile urine drainage bag designed to attach securely to the leg. It is commonly used with a Foley catheter or male external catheter. These pouches collect urine from the urinary tract and are worn discreetly on the thigh or calf, maintaining comfort and mobility. Depending on your preference, you can connect the bag directly to the catheter or use extension tubing for additional flexibility.
Selecting the appropriate catheter leg bag depends on your specific needs, such as duration of use, material preferences, and desired features. Each type offers unique benefits to support effective and comfortable urine management.
Reusable leg bags, such as the Rusch Easy Tap, are made of durable materials like silicone or PVC. They can be cleaned and reused for up to six months with proper care using urinary appliance cleansers. Many include advanced features like anti-reflux valves to prevent backflow and fabric straps for secure attachment.
Disposable leg bags, like the Bard Dispoz-a-Bag, are lightweight, single-use options often made from latex-free vinyl. These urine drainage bags are a convenient choice for short-term use and are available with easy-to-use spouts, such as flip-flo or easy tap drain valves.
Proper use of a catheter leg bag minimizes risks such as urinary tract infections and ensures comfort.
Our catheter leg bags and accessories are designed with advanced features to enhance your healthcare routine:
Catheter leg bag accessories improve functionality, comfort, and hygiene. These tools ensure secure use, cleanliness, and effective urine management tailored to individual needs.
How often should a catheter leg bag be changed?
Leg bags should be replaced every 7 days or sooner if you notice leaks, odors, or damage.
Can I shower with a catheter leg bag?
Yes, you can shower with a catheter leg bag, but it’s essential to dry the bag, tubing, and straps thoroughly afterward to prevent skin irritation. Alternatively, the leg bag can be removed during the shower if the catheter is securely capped.
How do you prevent backflow?
Use a catheter leg bag with an anti-reflux valve, such as the Dispoz-a-Bag by Bard, to prevent urine from flowing back into the urethra.
Can you sleep with a catheter leg bag?
No, a catheter leg bag is meant to be worn during the day while you are up and moving. It cannot be worn while laying down because urine will not properly flow into the drainage bag. It is recommended to switch to a night drainage bottle when sleeping.
How do I clean a reusable catheter leg bag?
Rinse the bag with warm water after emptying, then clean it with a urinary appliance cleanser. Allow the bag to air dry completely before reusing to prevent odors and buildup.
