LINC-Flo® LM750AD-L is a sterile 750ml urine drainage leg bag with an adjustable inlet tube and lever tap, designed for comfortable and discreet daytime urine collection from an indwelling urinary catheter or other appropriate urinary drainage system.

The adjustable inlet tubing allows the drainage setup to be adapted to the individual user's required bag position, while the larger 750ml capacity provides additional collection volume compared with standard 350ml or 500ml leg bags.

The bag incorporates a soft fabric backing, discreet triple-chamber construction, needle-free sample port, lever-operated drainage tap and overnight drainage connector. Adjustable LINC-Flo® bags are also supplied with scissors to assist with preparation of the adjustable tubing.

750ml capacity

The 750ml capacity provides greater urine collection volume than smaller 350ml and 500ml leg bags.

This may be particularly useful where:

• Urine output is relatively high

• More capacity is required between emptying

• Access to a toilet may be less frequent

• A larger daytime drainage capacity is preferred

• Frequent emptying of a smaller bag is inconvenient

The bag should still be emptied regularly and before becoming excessively full or heavy.

Allowing a leg bag to become overly full may:

• Increase pulling on the catheter

• Increase tension on the tubing

• Make the bag more noticeable beneath clothing

• Increase pressure from the leg straps

• Reduce comfort during movement

Adjustable inlet tube

Reference LM750AD-L has an adjustable inlet tube.

Unlike fixed direct, short or long-tube leg bags, the adjustable version allows the tubing arrangement to be tailored more closely to the individual user's required bag position.

This provides additional flexibility where:

• A standard fixed tube length is unsuitable

• The bag needs to be positioned at a particular point on the leg

• The user's height requires additional positioning flexibility

• Catheter position varies

• Clothing affects where the bag can comfortably be worn

LINC supplies scissors with the adjustable version for preparation of the tubing.

Always prepare and position the tubing according to the manufacturer's instructions.

The tubing should allow unrestricted urine drainage without:

• Kinks

• Tight bends

• Compression

• Excessive loops

• Pulling on the catheter

Lever tap

LM750AD-L incorporates a lever-operated drainage tap.

The lever tap is designed for straightforward operation and can be operated one-handed.

To empty the bag:

• Perform appropriate hand hygiene

• Position the outlet over a toilet or suitable receptacle

• Operate the lever according to the manufacturer's instructions

• Allow urine to drain

• Avoid allowing the outlet to touch the toilet or receptacle

• Return the lever securely to the closed position

• Check that drainage has stopped before repositioning clothing

Always ensure the tap is fully closed following emptying.

Lever Tap versus T-Tap

The final letter of the LINC-Flo® product reference identifies the outlet type.

For this product:

LM750AD-L

the “-L” indicates Lever Tap.

The corresponding 750ml adjustable-tube version with a T-Tap is:

LM750AD-T

It is therefore important to check the complete product code when ordering.

Soft fabric backing

LINC-Flo® leg bags incorporate a soft fabric backing designed to sit comfortably against the leg.

The backing helps:

• Reduce direct contact between plastic film and the skin

• Improve comfort

• Provide a softer surface against the leg

• Support discreet everyday wear

The bag should still be positioned and supported correctly to avoid unnecessary pressure or friction.

Triple-chamber design

LINC-Flo® incorporates a discreet triple-chamber design.

The chambers help distribute urine throughout the bag rather than allowing the contents to move freely within one large compartment.

This design helps the bag:

• Conform more closely to the leg

• Maintain a lower-profile appearance

• Reduce excessive movement of urine

• Reduce sloshing noise

• Improve stability as the bag fills

This can improve both comfort and discretion during normal activity.

Needle-free sample port

The bag includes a needle-free urine sampling port.

This provides an appropriate access point for an appropriately trained healthcare professional to obtain a urine sample without puncturing the drainage tubing with a needle.

The sampling port helps preserve the integrity of the drainage system when correct sampling technique is used.

Urine samples should be obtained using appropriate clinical and infection-control procedures.

Daytime urinary drainage

LINC-Flo® leg bags are designed primarily for daytime urinary drainage.

The collection bag can be secured to the leg using the supplied straps, allowing the user to remain mobile while urine drains continuously from the catheter.

Correct positioning helps:

• Maintain free urine flow

• Reduce pulling on the catheter

• Reduce excessive bag movement

• Improve comfort

• Maintain discretion beneath clothing

The drainage bag should normally remain below the level of the bladder to support gravity drainage.

Leg straps supplied

LINC-Flo® sterile leg bags are supplied with elastic leg straps.

The NHS Drug Tariff specifies 10 pairs of straps per box of 10 leg bags.

The straps should:

• Secure the bag comfortably

• Prevent excessive movement

• Allow normal circulation

• Avoid excessive pressure

• Support the increasing weight of the bag as it fills

Do not overtighten the straps.

Check the skin beneath the straps regularly for:

• Redness

• Pressure marks

• Irritation

• Discomfort

Latex-free gloves supplied

Each LINC-Flo® leg bag is supplied with latex-free gloves to support hygienic handling during bag changes.

Appropriate hand hygiene should always be performed before and after handling the catheter drainage system.

Avoid touching catheter and bag connection surfaces unnecessarily.

Overnight drainage connector

LINC-Flo® sterile leg bags incorporate an overnight drainage connector.

This allows the leg bag to form part of an appropriate link-drainage system with a larger night drainage bag when additional overnight capacity is required.

In a link-drainage arrangement, the leg bag remains connected to the catheter and the night bag is connected to the leg bag.

When using overnight drainage:

• Use an appropriate compatible night drainage bag

• Keep the leg bag connected to the catheter

• Connect the night drainage system according to the manufacturer's instructions

• Position the night bag below bladder level

• Keep tubing free from kinks

• Avoid trapping tubing beneath the body or bedding

• Prevent the tubing from pulling on the catheter

• Check that urine can drain freely

Maintaining a closed drainage system and avoiding unnecessary catheter disconnection is important in catheter management.

Positioning the leg bag

The adjustable inlet tube allows the bag position to be tailored according to the user's individual requirements.

Position depends on factors including:

• Catheter type

• Catheter location

• User height

• Leg shape

• Mobility

• Clothing

• Preferred bag position

After positioning, check that:

• The bag remains below bladder level

• The catheter is not under tension

• The tubing is not kinked

• Clothing is not compressing the tubing

• The bag is adequately supported

• Urine can drain freely

Emptying the bag

Empty the bag regularly and before it becomes excessively full.

To empty:

• Perform appropriate hand hygiene

• Position the lever-tap outlet over a toilet or suitable receptacle

• Open the lever tap

• Allow urine to drain completely

• Avoid contaminating the outlet

• Close the lever securely

• Check that the tap is completely closed

• Perform hand hygiene afterwards

Regular emptying reduces excessive weight pulling on the catheter and leg-bag supports.

Changing the leg bag

The leg bag should be replaced according to the manufacturer's instructions and the user's individual catheter-care plan.

Replace the bag sooner if:

• Leakage develops

• The bag becomes damaged

• Tubing becomes damaged

• The lever tap no longer closes correctly

• Drainage becomes impaired

• The connector becomes contaminated

• The bag has been disconnected and should not be reused

• A healthcare professional advises replacement

Do not continue using a damaged or leaking urinary drainage bag.
