Urinary drainage bags are used as a urine collection bag for catheters and are designed to be hygienic and user-friendly. We have a wide variety of urine bags and urine pouches made up of durable, medical-grade vinyl material and include graduated markers to measure urine output accurately. They provide improved care for the patient and comfort handling for the caregiver. Urinary bags come in basically two types. Bedside drainage bags that hang from the bedside or a wheelchair and Urine leg bags can be strapped to the user's thigh. Urinary drainage bags are used by bed-ridden patients, hospitalized patients, or night-time usage by those who suffer from incontinence. Urinary Leg Bags are appropriate for more active users who suffer from urinary incontinence.
A bedside drainage bag is connected to the catheter tubing and allows for free flow of urine from the bladder via the catheter and into the urine collection bag. These urine bags may also be used for nephrostomy draining. Drainage bags are available in a variety of sizes and capacities, and User-friendly features improve their utility.
