How to use a Drainage Leg Bag?

• With soap and water, wash your hands completely.
• Position the Cardinal Health urine leg bag in a comfortable position, ensuring that the protective cap of the leg bag is towards you and the outlet valve is away from you. Secure the urine bag in place with the help of straps. Please do not wrap the straps too tightly as they may cause improper blood circulation.
• Take an extension tubing of appropriate length. Please put it in the approximate position in which it is connected, keeping the plastic connector end towards the catheter. Ensure that the tube is long enough to prevent catheter pull and short enough to avoid kinking.
• If required, cut the tube end without a plastic connector with scissors and clean it with isopropyl alcohol.
• From the leg, the bag connector removes the protective cap. Make sure that the drainage spout is closed.
• Clean the top connector of the leg bag and the cut end of the tubing with an alcohol‐saturated pad. Attach the leg bag connector to the tubing.
• Clean the catheter end and the connector end of the tubing with another alcohol‐saturated pad. Attach the tubing connector to the catheter.
• Adjust the position of the bag and straps as per your requirements.
• Dispose of alcohol pads, packaging, etc.
• Wash your hands with soap and water again to maintain hygienic conditions.

Emptying the urine bag

• Begin with washing hands properly.
• Keep the bag below the hip or bladder so that it's easier to empty it.
• Hold the bag over the toilet and open the T-Tap drainage valve.
• Do not let the bag touch the toilet surfaces as it might infect the leg bag.
• Rinse the bag properly and close the valve.
• Refrain from placing the bag on the floor. It is advised to reattach it to the thigh of the patient.
• Rewash hands to avoid infection.
