Key Features

Built to the spec
clinicians trust.

01

Closed-System Drainage

Anti-reflux valves and sealed connections reduce retrograde bacterial migration — central to CAUTI prevention bundles.

02

Size-Matched to Catheter

Drainage bags and accessories pair to catheter French size and patient capacity (leg bag vs. bedside bag).

03

Securement to Reduce Trauma

Catheter securement devices prevent urethral tugging during mobility — reducing trauma, pain, and dislodgement.

04

Latex-Free Options

Silicone and modern plastics eliminate latex-allergy risk and better tolerate long-term indwelling use.

Clinical Use / Urological Accessories

How clinicians
use this product.

Urological accessories and internal catheter kits support continuous bladder drainage, intermittent catheterization, and closed-system management — leg bags, drainage bags, catheter guides, securement devices, and replacement parts for indwelling and intermittent catheters.

Indications

Clinical use cases.

  • Continuous bladder drainage (indwelling Foley)
  • Intermittent self-catheterization programs
  • Neurogenic bladder management
  • Post-operative urinary retention
  • Long-term urinary diversion and suprapubic drainage

Application Technique

Step by step.

01

/ 05

Hand hygiene and aseptic setup.

CAUTI prevention starts with strict hand hygiene and sterile insertion technique. Document date of insertion.

02

/ 05

Select appropriate bag.

Leg bag for ambulation and daytime; bedside bag for overnight or non-ambulatory. Match capacity to anticipated output.

03

/ 05

Maintain closed system.

Never break the connection between catheter and drainage tubing — it multiplies CAUTI risk. Use the sample port for specimens.

04

/ 05

Keep bag below bladder.

Drainage bag must remain below bladder level at all times to prevent retrograde flow and infection.

05

/ 05

Assess and remove early.

Every day, assess whether catheter is still indicated. Early removal is the most effective CAUTI-prevention intervention.

Contraindications & Cautions

When not to use.

  • Do not break the closed drainage system for routine bag changes — use drainage-bag-change technique with aseptic connection
  • Do not use latex products in latex-allergic patients — silicone alternatives are standard
  • Do not advance a catheter against unexpected resistance — urethral trauma risk
  • Avoid long-term indwelling catheterization when intermittent catheterization is feasible

Typical Care Settings

FAQ / Urological Accessories

Frequently asked.

Answers to the questions clinical buyers and care teams ask most about this product category.

How often should a leg bag be changed?

Most manufacturers recommend leg bag replacement every 5–7 days or per facility protocol. Empty at least every 4 hours while in use. Always connect aseptically when changing.

Is this latex-free?

Modern urological accessories are predominantly silicone or latex-free PVC. Check the product label — older or bulk-buy latex products still exist but are being phased out.

What size drainage bag do I need?

Leg bags: 500–1000 mL for daytime ambulation. Bedside bags: 2000 mL for overnight. Choose capacity so the bag never fills completely between emptyings — overfilled bags risk retrograde flow.

How do I prevent catheter-associated UTIs (CAUTIs)?

Evidence-based CAUTI prevention bundle: aseptic insertion, strict hand hygiene, closed drainage system, keep bag below bladder, secure catheter to reduce trauma, and remove as early as clinically safe. Routine antibiotic prophylaxis is not recommended.

Can I reuse an intermittent catheter?

In the US, intermittent catheters are single-use devices per FDA guidance. Some closed-system intermittent catheters are reimbursed by Medicare and commercial insurers with a qualifying diagnosis.
