LINC-Flo® LM500AD-T is a sterile 500ml urine drainage leg bag with an adjustable inlet tube and T-tap, designed for discreet daytime urine collection from an indwelling urinary catheter or other appropriate urinary drainage system.

The adjustable inlet tubing allows the length and positioning of the drainage setup to be adapted to the individual user, helping achieve a comfortable bag position while maintaining unrestricted urine flow.

The bag combines a practical 500ml capacity with a soft fabric backing, discreet triple-chamber construction, needle-free sampling port, overnight drainage connector and reusable T-tap outlet.

500ml capacity

The 500ml capacity offers a practical balance between urine collection volume and discretion beneath clothing.

It may be suitable where:

• A smaller 350ml bag requires overly frequent emptying

• A 750ml bag would provide more capacity than required

• Moderate daytime capacity is preferred

• A relatively compact leg-bag profile is important

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

Regular emptying helps:

• Reduce weight pulling on the catheter

• Reduce tension on the tubing

• Improve comfort

• Maintain discretion

• Reduce movement of the bag on the leg

Adjustable inlet tube

Reference LM500AD-T has an adjustable inlet tube.

Unlike fixed direct-inlet, 10cm or 30cm versions, the adjustable configuration allows the tubing to be prepared according to the user's preferred bag position.

This can be useful where:

• A standard fixed tube length is unsuitable

• Individual height affects bag positioning

• The catheter connection requires a particular tube length

• The bag needs to sit at a specific point on the thigh or lower leg

• Excess tubing needs to be avoided

Adjustable LINC-Flo® bags are supplied with scissors for preparing the tubing.

Always adjust the tube according to the manufacturer's instructions.

Once positioned, the tubing should permit free urine drainage without:

• Kinks

• Tight bends

• Twisting

• Compression

• Excessive loops

• Pulling on the catheter

T-tap outlet

LM500AD-T incorporates a T-tap drainage outlet.

The reusable T-tap allows the leg bag to be emptied repeatedly while remaining connected to the catheter drainage system.

To empty the bag:

• Perform appropriate hand hygiene

• Position the outlet over a toilet or suitable receptacle

• Open the T-tap according to the manufacturer's instructions

• Allow the urine to drain completely

• Avoid allowing the outlet to contact the toilet or receptacle

• Close the T-tap securely

• Check that urine is no longer draining before repositioning clothing

Always make sure the tap is completely closed after emptying.

T-Tap versus Lever Tap

LINC-Flo® 500ml adjustable leg bags are available with different outlet mechanisms.

LM500AD-T

• 500ml

• Adjustable inlet tube

• T-Tap

LM500AD-L

• 500ml

• Adjustable inlet tube

• Lever Tap

The final letter of the product reference therefore identifies the tap type:

• -T = T-Tap

• -L = Lever Tap

Customers who are accustomed to a particular outlet should check the complete reference before ordering.

Soft fabric backing

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

The backing helps:

• Improve comfort

• Reduce direct plastic contact with the skin

• Provide a softer surface against the leg

• Support discreet everyday wear

The skin beneath the bag and straps should still be checked regularly for pressure, friction or irritation.

Triple-chamber design

The LINC-Flo® bag has a discreet triple-chamber construction.

Rather than allowing collected urine to move freely within one large chamber, the internal design helps distribute urine through the bag.

This helps:

• Reduce excessive urine movement

• Reduce sloshing noise

• Allow the bag to contour more closely to the leg

• Maintain a flatter profile

• Improve comfort and discretion

Needle-free sampling port

LINC-Flo® incorporates a needle-free sampling port.

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

Urine sampling should always be carried out using appropriate clinical and infection-control procedures.

Leg straps supplied

The LINC-Flo® range is supplied with elastic Velcro leg straps.

A box of 10 bags contains 10 pairs of straps.

The straps should:

• Hold the bag securely

• Prevent excessive movement

• Avoid restricting circulation

• Support the weight of the bag as it fills

• Remain comfortable during normal activity

Do not overtighten the straps.

Check the skin underneath and around the straps regularly for:

• Redness

• Pressure marks

• Irritation

• Discomfort

Daytime urinary drainage

The LINC-Flo® leg bag is primarily designed for daytime urine collection while allowing the user to remain mobile.

The bag should normally remain below bladder level so urine can drain by gravity.

Correct positioning helps:

• Maintain unrestricted drainage

• Reduce pulling on the catheter

• Reduce unnecessary movement

• Improve comfort

• Maintain discretion beneath clothing

The adjustable tube allows the bag position to be tailored more closely to the individual user.

Overnight drainage connector

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

This allows an appropriate larger-capacity night drainage bag to be connected to the leg bag where additional overnight capacity is required.

This creates a link-drainage system.

When using overnight drainage:

• Keep the leg bag connected to the catheter

• Connect a compatible night bag according to the manufacturer's instructions

• Position the night drainage bag below bladder level

• Keep tubing free from kinks

• Avoid trapping tubing beneath the body or bedding

• Ensure tubing does not pull on the catheter

• Check that urine can drain freely

Avoid unnecessary disconnection of the catheter drainage system.

Maintaining a closed drainage system

Minimising unnecessary catheter and drainage-bag disconnection helps maintain the integrity of the urinary drainage system.

Good catheter-management practice includes:

• Appropriate hand hygiene

• Keeping connections secure

• Avoiding unnecessary disconnections

• Keeping the bag below bladder level

• Keeping tubing unobstructed

• Emptying the bag regularly

• Replacing the bag according to the recommended schedule

Positioning the bag

The adjustable inlet allows the bag position to be selected according to factors including:

• Catheter type

• Catheter location

• User height

• Leg shape

• Mobility

• Clothing

• Personal preference

Once positioned, check that:

• The bag remains below bladder level

• The catheter is not being pulled

• Tubing is not kinked

• Clothing is not compressing the tubing

• The bag is adequately supported

• Urine flows freely into the bag

Emptying the bag

Empty the bag regularly and before it becomes excessively full.

To empty:

• Perform appropriate hand hygiene

• Position the T-tap over a toilet or suitable receptacle

• Open the tap

• Allow the urine to drain

• Avoid contaminating the outlet

• Close the T-tap securely

• Check for leakage

• Perform hand hygiene afterwards

Do not allow the full weight of an overfilled bag to pull on the catheter.

Changing the leg bag

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

UK continence guidance commonly recommends changing reusable daytime leg bags approximately every 5–7 days, unless the manufacturer's instructions or individual clinical circumstances indicate otherwise.

Replace the bag sooner if:

• Leakage develops

• The bag becomes damaged

• Tubing becomes damaged

• The T-tap no longer closes securely

• Drainage becomes impaired

• A connector becomes contaminated

• A healthcare professional recommends replacement

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