Medline Leg Bag with Twist Valve or Slide-Tap Drainage Port

Why Choose Medline Leg Bags?

Medline Leg Bags are urological products made to be used in conjunction with a Catheter for urine collection. These durable urine bags are made of latex-free vinyl and have sterile fluid pathways. Both include anti-flux valves to prevent backflow and backflow caused infections. They also both come with attached elastic leg straps. These bags come in two drain-type varieties. Drain styles include twist valve and slide tap drainage ports. The Medline Twist Valve Leg Bags are easily twisted open for a simple emptying process, while the slide tap slides open for equal ease of use. The slide tap comes with fabric backing to promote patient comfort. These items come in several sizes so they can be customized for individual needs.

Leg bags like these Medline Catheter Leg Bags are designed for users who can ambulate and are not designed for bed or overnight use. Wheelchair users may also be better off using regular drain bags, such as the Bardia Closed System Drain Bag because they can be attached to the wheelchair itself instead of a leg, but this will depend on the user's preference.

Replacement elastic straps can also be purchased on this page. In addition, Vitality Medical provides a wide variety of leg bags, including the Bard Dispoz-A-Bag and the Rusch EasyTap.
