Urine Bag

Comparison of urine bag-changing regimens in elderly catheterised patients.

Daily and weekly bag-changing regimens were compared in 12 elderly catheterised patients with reference to their clinical condition, leakage or blockage of the catheters, and the bacteriological state of the urine. Latex Foley catheters were used for the first 3 months and silastic catheters for the second 3 months of study. All patients had bacteriuria throughout the study, and the average number of bacterial species isolated from each specimen was 3.8. There were no significant clinical or bacteriological differences between the patients on daily and those on weekly bag change. Although significantly more episodes of pyrexia were recorded during latex than during silastic catheterisation there was no correlation between these episodes and the bacteriological state of the urine. Of the 9 courses of antibacterial treatment given during the 6 months, 7 were for indications other than urinary tract infection. There were no episodes of acute pyelonephritis. There were 148 episodes of pyrexia unrelated to any clinical symptoms or signs. Only 2 were treated with antibiotics; the remainder subsided without treatment.

Urinary Leg Bag Holders

Our patented urinary bag holders, a product that is often imitated, but never duplicated, provide the incontinent sufferer a simple and effective solution to a difficult bladder problem. Used with reusable and disposable plastic leg bags, these products prevent contact between the plastic leg bag and the skin allowing air to circulate and the skin to breath freely. This patented construction, highly acclaimed by the European healthcare industry, provides a simple and comfortable method for securing the urinary leg bag to you and thereby eliminating the problem of slippage and disconnection of the catheter. Our two urine bag holders are made from either 100% cotton or 100% lycra fabric and are well suited for hand and machine washing.


One Leg Pant One Leg Stocking

Our leg bag systems are a great help for those who cannot get to the restroom such as those travelling or attending large gatherings and sporting events with limited access to restrooms. Therefore, the urinary drainage bag holder may be comfortably worn for extended periods of time.

You should only insert urinary catheters when it's medically necessary. Bacteria can climb up the device into the bladder and cause infection. Consider other methods of urinary drainage whenever possible. These include condom catheter drainage, intermittent urethral catheterization, and adult diapers and other incontinence products.
