Leg Bags
Drainage bags are used with indwelling catheters and male external catheters to temporarily store urine after it leaves the body.
Leg Bags
- Leg bags are worn on the leg, generally around the upper thigh. They can also be worn attached to the calf or a wheelchair frame.
- We stock bags in 500ml, 750ml and 800ml sizes. Choose a bag based on how frequently you can empty it and how discrete you would like it to appear under clothing.
- Bags come with elasticated straps with either velcro or button closures. We also sell a washable leg bag holder which is made of very lightweight stretchy material and holds the bag comfortably in position.
- We offer sterile and non-sterile leg bags. The non-sterile bags are made for use with externally fitted catheters like the uridome and urinary pouch.
- There are a few options when it comes to the inlet tube on a leg bag. This is the length of tubing between the end of the catheter and the top of the bag. You can choose a bag with a 10cm and 30cm inlet tube, however, if you prefer a different size the bags with a 50cm inlet tube and can be cut to length.
- Bags are available with a flip valve or t-valve for drainage, you may prefer one or the other based on your hand dexterity.
