Night Drainage Bags for Catheters

有一些重要的点要记住当管理你的导管。首先，让你的腿和夜袋低于膀胱的水平，以防止尿液倒流。避免不必要地断开腿袋或接触连接器的末端，因为这可能导致感染，不要在导管区域周围使用油性面霜或滑石粉。尽量避免便秘，因为这会干扰导尿管的功能，记住，一些运动，如小运动，通常可以清除任何碎片，如膀胱里的旧组织细胞。

Hygiene is vitally important, so always wash the area around where the catheter enters your body at least once per day with soap and water to remove any encrustation or debris which may have dried to your catheter.

Leg bags and catheter valves can be used by those assessed for suitability but some users of suprapubic catheters may find the Belly Bag more useful. These are available on prescription, see your Healthcare Professional for information.

The following information will support you in attaching or disconnecting a night drainage bag.
