How to use Medline Urinary Drainage Bag?

1. Wash hands with soap and water.
2. Position the drainage bag where it is most comfortable. The protective cap should be closest to you and the outlet valve away from you. Wrap the top strap around the leg and secure it, and then do the same with the bottom strap.
   • Be careful – do NOT secure the straps too tightly, or they may be uncomfortable, cause sores or clots, or not allow good circulation.
3. Estimate the length of extension tubing needed:
   • With the hard plastic connector end facing toward you and the catheter, put the tube in the approximate position it is to be connected.
   • Make sure the tubing is short enough to prevent kinking but long enough to prevent pulling on the catheter.
4. Using isopropyl alcohol, clean your scissors. Then, cut the tubing at the end without the hard plastic connector.
5. Remove the protective cap from the leg bag connector. Check the drainage spout at the bottom to make sure it is closed.
6. With an alcohol-saturated pad or material, clean the cut end of the tubing and the top connector on the leg bag. Attach the tubing to the leg bag connector.
7. With another alcohol-saturated pad or material, clean the connector end of the tubing and the end of the catheter. Attach the catheter to the tubing connector.
8. Adjust straps or bag position as needed.
9. Discard any packaging, alcohol pads, etc.
10. Wash your hands with soap and water.

How to Switch Drain and Leg Bag for Medline Drainage Bag?

• You may want to use a catheter plug (for a Foley catheter) to keep the catheter from draining when changing the bags. Or you can place a towel underneath the catheter to collect any drips.
• When your leg bag or drain bag is not being used, cover the connector with its original plastic protective cap.
• When attaching the catheter to either the leg bag or drain bag, always clean the connector and the catheter with alcohol.
• Clean your drain bag each morning as soon as possible once it is removed. Clean your leg bag each night as soon as possible once it is removed.

How to Clean Medline Urine Bags?

Mix cleaning solution:
Either: 2 parts white vinegar and 3 parts water

1. Empty the urine bag, and then close the drainage spout.
2. Place tubing under the faucet, putting warm water into the bag.
3. Swish it around for 10 seconds, and then empty it through the drainage spout. Close the spout.
4. Pour cleaning solution into the bag. Put the protective cap on the connector.
5. Swish the solution around for 30 seconds, and then let it sit in the bag for 20 minutes. Empty through the drainage spout.
