Cardinal Health Leg Bag Instructions

1. How does Cardinal Health Leg Bag work?

The Urine passes through the catheter from the bladder into the leg bag.

• The Cardinal Premium Leg bag is attached to the patient all day. However, it does not create hindrances in the movement, and the patient may move around freely.
• The leg bag can be concealed under a skirt, dress, or pants.

2. Where to place the leg bag?

• The elastic leg straps help in attaching the leg bag to the thigh.
• Be sure the bag is always placed lower than the bladder so that the urine does not flow back into the bladder.

3. Emptying the Latex Free Cardinal Health Leg Bag with T-Tap Valve

Always empty the leg bag in a clean bathroom. Make sure at no point do the catheter tubings or pouch touch any bathroom surfaces. Empty the bag into the toilet at least twice or thrice a day or when the bag is third to half full.

• 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.

• Use a hanger to hang the leg bag to dry properly.
