There are many times when the use of a catheter is called for, and along with the catheter is the need for catheter bags for collection and disposal of urine. We work with many clients in and around Boca Raton, Boynton Beach, Coral Springs, Pompano Beach, West Palm Beach, and the surrounding areas, and we can help you as well. In Home Healing offers a wide range of catheter bags that will meet the needs that you or a patient will have. From hanging bags that are designed to hang from the side of the bed to leg bags that allow more freedom of movement without having to worry about accidents, we have the selection that you are looking for. Contact our team today to order your catheter bags.
Importance of Changing Catheter Bags
It is tempting to just keep using the same catheter bag over and over, but eventually the urine will break down the material and either cause a leak or will begin to have a noticeable odor. You will need to have additional catheter bags handy to replace these used catheter bags, and there are recommended times for changing catheter bags as well.
Generally, with a continuous closed system a catheter bag can go up to a month without needing to be changed. Usually when the catheter is changed is also the time to replace the catheter bag. This will be more frequent if the bag is damaged or leaking, or if the contents cannot be easily seen due to discoloration or sediment.
When one is switching from a leg bag to a large drainage bag, such as those mounted on beds, or vice versa, swapping out for a new catheter bag is called for. Anytime the drainage bag is disconnected from the catheter should also have a new catheter bag used. The goal is to prevent any infection from occurring and new catheter bags will be a big benefit.
Multiple Sizes Available
Having a catheter doesn’t mean that you can’t be up and around doing things. We offer a number of sizes of leg catheter bags that provide patients with the ability to engage in activities without fear of an accident, either in public or private. We also have a number of bedside catheter bags as well with easy to read markings and other features that patients need in Boca Raton, Boynton Beach, Coral Springs, Pompano Beach, West Palm Beach, and the surrounding areas.
