How to Use and Empty a Leg Bag

Using and emptying a leg bag properly is essential for comfort and hygiene. Start by ensuring the leg bag is securely strapped to your thigh or calf, positioned below the bladder for optimal drainage. Periodically check the bag to avoid overfilling, which can lead to leaks. To empty the bag, place a clean container or directly use a toilet. Open the drain valve at the bottom of the bag, allowing the urine to flow out completely. Close the valve securely after emptying, and wash your hands thoroughly to maintain hygiene. Regularly clean the leg bag according to healthcare provider instructions to prevent infections. #LegBagCare #CatheterManagement #PatientHygiene #HealthcareTips #MedicalDevices
