McKesson Disposable Urinary Drainage Bag Instructions

• Ensure you have clean hands. Gather the leg bag, straps or loops, and any necessary connectors or tubing.
• Place it on your leg, typically on the inner side of your thigh or calf, depending on your comfort and mobility. Ensure the drainage port is positioned at the bottom.
• Fasten the straps or loops around your leg, adjusting them for a snug but comfortable fit. Make sure it is securely attached and does not slide or move during normal activities.
• If using a catheter, ensure it is securely connected to the inlet port of the leg bag. If using an extension tube, connect one end to the catheter and the other end to the inlet port of the leg bag. Check for any leaks or loose connections.
• Before use, ensure the anti-reflux valve is in the open position. This allows urine to flow into the leg bag.
• Arrange the tubing in a way that allows for comfortable movement without tension or kinks. Ensure it is discreetly positioned under clothing if desired.
• Regularly check it to monitor its filling level. Empty the bag when it is about half to two-thirds full to prevent discomfort and potential leakage.
• Locate the drainage port at the bottom of the bag. Depending on the valve type, carefully open the twist valve or activate the push-pull valve to release the urine. Direct the urine into a toilet or appropriate receptacle. Ensure the valve is securely closed after emptying to prevent leaks.
• Clean it to ensure proper hygiene.
