Coloplast Conveen® Contour Sterile Urine Drainage Leg Bag – 600ml, 5cm Inlet Tube – Pack of 10 (Ref: 5172)

Coloplast Conveen® Contour 5172 is a sterile 600ml urine drainage leg bag with a fixed 5cm inlet tube and discreet clamp outlet, designed for daytime collection of urine from an appropriate urinary catheter or male urinary sheath system.

The Conveen® Contour range incorporates a distinctive multi-chamber design that helps distribute collected urine more evenly through the bag. This helps reduce excessive movement and sloshing while maintaining a flatter, more discreet profile against the leg.

A soft non-woven backing provides greater comfort against the skin, while the compact clamp outlet is designed to make it easy to see whether the drainage outlet is correctly open or closed.

600ml capacity

Reference 5172 has a 600ml urine collection capacity.

This provides more capacity than smaller 350ml or 500ml leg bags while remaining suitable for discreet daytime wear.

A 600ml bag may be useful where:

• Moderate to higher daytime collection capacity is required

• A smaller bag needs to be emptied too frequently

• A larger 750ml or 800ml bag would create unnecessary bulk

• The user wants a balance between capacity and discretion

The bag should be emptied regularly and before it becomes excessively full or heavy.

Regular emptying helps:

• Reduce pulling on the catheter or sheath system

• Reduce weight on the leg

• Improve comfort

• Maintain a flatter pouch profile

• Reduce excessive movement of the bag beneath clothing

5cm fixed inlet tube

Reference 5172 has a fixed 5cm inlet tube.

This is the shortest sterile Conveen® Contour tube configuration in the current UK range.

The short inlet may be particularly suitable where:

• The bag is positioned relatively close to the catheter or sheath connection

• Minimal additional tubing is preferred

• Excess tubing could create loops beneath clothing

• A compact urinary drainage arrangement is required

The tubing should be positioned so that urine can drain freely.

Avoid:

• Kinking

• Twisting

• Compression

• Tight bends

• Pulling on the catheter or sheath

The drainage bag should remain below bladder level when used with an indwelling catheter to support gravity drainage.

Multi-chamber design

A distinctive feature of Conveen® Contour is its multi-chamber construction.

Rather than allowing urine to move freely inside one large collection chamber, the internal channels help distribute urine through different areas of the bag.

This helps:

• Reduce excessive movement of urine

• Reduce sloshing

• Distribute the weight more evenly

• Keep the bag relatively flat against the leg

• Improve discretion beneath clothing

• Improve comfort during movement

Coloplast specifically describes the chambered design as supporting discretion and mobility.

Discreet clamp outlet

Conveen® Contour uses a compact clamp-style drainage outlet.

The outlet has a straightforward flip-type opening and closure arrangement that makes it easier to visually check whether the outlet is properly closed.

Benefits include:

• Compact profile

• Easy visual confirmation of closure

• Straightforward repeated emptying

• Reduced bulk at the bottom of the leg bag

• Discreet positioning beneath clothing

This product does not use a lever tap or T-tap.

When ordering a replacement, users who are accustomed to the Conveen® Contour clamp outlet should therefore check the reference carefully.

Emptying the leg bag

The bag can be emptied repeatedly while remaining connected to the urinary drainage system.

To empty:

• Perform appropriate hand hygiene

• Position the clamp outlet over a toilet or suitable receptacle

• Open the clamp according to the manufacturer's instructions

• Allow the urine to drain completely

• Avoid allowing the outlet to touch the toilet or receptacle

• Close the clamp securely

• Check visually that the outlet is correctly closed

• Perform appropriate hand hygiene afterwards

Empty the bag before it becomes excessively full.

Soft non-woven backing

Conveen® Contour has a soft non-woven backing material on the side worn against the leg.

The backing is designed to:

• Improve comfort

• Reduce direct contact between the collection-bag film and skin

• Allow the skin greater breathability

• Help reduce noise during movement

• Provide a softer surface against the leg

The skin underneath the bag and any fixation system should still be checked regularly for irritation or pressure.

Designed for discretion

Several aspects of Conveen® Contour are designed to make the bag less noticeable during normal daytime wear.

These include:

• Multi-chamber construction

• Even distribution of collected urine

• Compact clamp outlet

• Soft backing

• Discreet design and colour scheme

• Relatively flat profile against the leg

The bag should nevertheless be positioned and supported appropriately according to the user's urinary drainage system and mobility.

Use with an indwelling catheter

Conveen® Contour can be used to collect urine from an appropriate permanent / indwelling urinary catheter.

This may include:

• Urethral catheters

• Suprapubic catheters

When used with a catheter:

• Keep the bag below bladder level

• Keep tubing unobstructed

• Avoid pulling on the catheter

• Ensure connections remain secure

• Avoid unnecessary disconnection of the drainage system

• Empty the bag regularly

Maintaining unrestricted drainage is important for effective catheter management.

Use with a urinary sheath

Conveen® Contour can also be used with an appropriate male external urinary sheath, such as a compatible Conveen® urisheath system.

In this arrangement, urine passes from the sheath through the drainage tubing and into the leg bag.

Ensure that:

• The sheath is fitted correctly

• Connections are secure

• Tubing is not kinked

• The bag remains positioned below the sheath

• The leg bag is appropriately supported

Always follow the instructions supplied with both products.

Positioning the bag

The appropriate position depends on:

• Type of urinary drainage system

• User mobility

• Leg shape

• Clothing

• Location of the catheter or sheath

• Individual preference

Because Ref 5172 has only a 5cm inlet tube, it is intended for relatively close positioning between the urinary device and collection bag.

After positioning, check that:

• Urine can drain freely

• The inlet tubing is not kinked

• The catheter or sheath is not under tension

• The bag is securely supported

• Clothing is not compressing the drainage pathway
