Urine Bag Holders
Urine bag holders are another incontinence product designed to provide you with a simple and effective solution to bladder problems.
Urine bag holders are used with reusable or disposable plastic urine drainage leg bags. The drainage bags are designed to hold your urine; which is drained into the bag usually by a catheter. Urine drainage bags are made to fit onto your leg and come in various sizes. Urine bag holders are made to prevent any contact between the plastic leg bag and the skin. They are also designed to allow the air to circulate and to let your skin breathe freely. Urine bag holders also help to eliminate any problems with slippage and disconnection of the catheter.
Most urine bag holders are made of cotton or Lycra fabric and can be easily washed by hand or machine. One style of urine bag holder is a type that attaches to your inner pant leg and is worn under the pants. This is a very secure method to hold a urinary drainage bag. The system is designed to be used by men and women with internal catheters or urine condoms. The pant leg has a pocket for the urine accumulation bag to fit in. There are no straps involved to irritate your skin and cause blisters. This style of urine bag holder can be worn around either leg like a stocking. This allows you complete freedom of movement while holding the leg bag securely in place. This will also stop the urinary leg bag from slipping and causing the catheter to disconnect. This urine bag holder is positioned on your thigh and is designed for use mainly in an upright position.
There are also models available that attach to your calf which are more suited for use in sitting positions. Make sure your bag fits you well and is comfortable. Urine bag holders are available in assorted sizes and styles. They are considered to be a hygienic incontinence product so you won't be able to return them once they've been opened.
You can buy urine bag holders separately or as a part of a leg bag kit. The kit also includes a leg bag, extension tube and straps.
