CAUTI Prevention

Urine Bags are sterile, single-use, closed-system medical devices designed for gravity drainage, collection, containment, and measurement of urine from indwelling urinary catheters. Available in two primary configurations: large-capacity drainage bags (2000-4000 mL) for bedridden patients and overnight use, and smaller leg bags (350-750 mL) for ambulatory, community-dwelling patients. Core components include a transparent graduated collection bag, flexible drainage tubing, anti-reflux valve, needleless sampling port, and secure outlet valve. Manufactured from medical-grade PVC (DEHP-free alternatives available) or non-PVC materials, all components are latex-free and terminally sterilized. Critical safety requirements include maintaining the bag below bladder level at all times to prevent retrograde flow, preserving closed system integrity, and adhering to strict single-patient-use protocols. An indispensable component of CAUTI prevention bundles and urinary drainage management across acute care, long-term care, and home healthcare settings.
