Coloplast Simpla® Plus Syphon Sterile Leg Bag – 750ml, 25cm Tube – Pack of 10 (Ref: 21567)

Coloplast Simpla® Plus Syphon 21567 is a sterile 750ml urinary drainage leg bag with a 25cm inlet tube, specifically designed to make emptying easier for wheelchair users and people with reduced dexterity or limited ability to bend or stretch.

The Syphon design incorporates an extended drainage outlet that allows the bag to be emptied using light pressure, helping the user manage urinary drainage more independently without needing to reach as far down the leg.

The bag also features anti-kink tubing, an enhanced chambered design and a secure T-tap outlet, providing reliable daytime urine collection while helping maintain free drainage and discretion beneath clothing.

Special Syphon design

The Simpla® Plus Syphon differs from a conventional leg bag because it has been specifically designed to make emptying easier for people who may have difficulty reaching a drainage tap positioned close to the ankle or lower leg.

The Syphon bag incorporates an extended outlet tube.

This allows the user to:

• Position the outlet more conveniently

• Empty the bag without bending as far

• Initiate drainage using light pressure

• Manage the bag more independently where hand function is limited

This can be particularly beneficial for:

• Wheelchair users

• People with restricted upper-body movement

• Users with impaired dexterity

• People who find conventional leg-bag taps difficult to operate

750ml capacity

Reference 21567 has a 750ml capacity.

This is larger than many standard 350ml or 500ml leg bags and provides additional daytime urine collection capacity.

A larger bag may be useful where:

• Urine output is relatively high

• More capacity is required between emptying

• Frequent access to a toilet is difficult

• Mobility is restricted

• The user prefers fewer emptying episodes

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

Allowing a leg bag to become overly full can:

• Increase pulling on the catheter

• Place tension on the tubing

• Reduce comfort

• Increase movement of the bag on the leg

• Make the bag more noticeable beneath clothing

25cm inlet tube

Reference 21567 incorporates a 25cm inlet tube.

This provides sufficient tubing length for flexible positioning of the bag on the leg.

The tubing should be arranged so that urine can drain freely from the catheter into the collection bag.

Avoid:

• Kinks

• Twisting

• Compression

• Tight bends

• Excessive loops

• Pulling on the catheter

The leg bag should remain below bladder level to support gravity drainage.

Anti-kink tubing

Simpla® Plus incorporates anti-kink tubing.

The tubing is designed to reduce the likelihood of accidental obstruction caused by bending or folding.

Maintaining unrestricted tubing is important because a kink can prevent urine from draining properly from the bladder.

Always check the tubing after:

• Sitting down

• Transferring into or out of a wheelchair

• Repositioning the leg

• Changing clothing

• Going to bed

Ensure urine can continue to flow freely into the bag.

Enhanced chambered design

Simpla® Plus incorporates an enhanced chambered bag design.

The internal configuration helps manage urine within the pouch rather than allowing it to move freely throughout one large chamber.

This can help:

• Distribute urine more evenly

• Reduce excessive movement or sloshing

• Maintain a flatter bag profile

• Improve discretion under clothing

• Improve comfort during movement

T-tap drainage outlet

Reference 21567 uses a T-tap drainage outlet.

The outlet is designed for repeated emptying while the bag remains connected to the urinary drainage system.

The Syphon configuration provides an extended outlet to make the drainage point easier to access.

When emptying:

• Position the extended outlet over a toilet or suitable receptacle

• Operate the outlet according to the manufacturer's instructions

• Apply light pressure where required to initiate Syphon drainage

• Allow urine to drain completely

• Avoid allowing the outlet to touch the toilet or receptacle

• Close the outlet securely afterwards

• Check that drainage has stopped before repositioning the bag

Always ensure that the outlet is securely closed after emptying.

Designed for reduced dexterity

One of the main purposes of the Simpla® Plus Syphon system is to support people who find conventional leg-bag emptying difficult.

Coloplast specifically describes the Syphon bag as designed to help users with reduced hand function and limited ability to bend or stretch.

The extended outlet means the user may not need to reach directly to the bottom of the leg bag to empty it.

This can help support greater independence with urinary drainage management.

Discreet design

Simpla® Plus uses a discreet bag design and colour scheme intended to reduce visibility beneath clothing.

The chambered construction also helps distribute collected urine, supporting a flatter profile as the bag fills.

The exact positioning should balance:

• Comfort

• Accessibility

• Free urine flow

• Clothing

• Mobility

• Individual preference

PVC- and phthalate-free

Simpla® Plus is manufactured without PVC or phthalates.

This provides a modern material construction while maintaining the flexibility required for a wearable urinary drainage bag.

Positioning the leg bag

The bag should be positioned:

• Below bladder level

• Where the user can access the drainage outlet

• Without pulling on the catheter

• With the tubing free from kinks

• Where the bag can be adequately supported

For wheelchair users, positioning should also be checked while seated because the relationship between the catheter, tubing and bag may change significantly compared with standing or lying down.

Check that:

• The tubing is not trapped

• The bag is not compressed

• The catheter is not under tension

• Urine can drain freely

Emptying the bag

Empty the bag regularly and before it becomes excessively full.

When emptying:

• Wash or clean your hands appropriately

• Position the Syphon outlet over a toilet or suitable receptacle

• Open the outlet according to the manufacturer's instructions

• Allow urine to drain

• Avoid touching the outlet against surrounding surfaces

• Close the outlet securely

• Check that there is no continued leakage

The exact emptying technique should follow the manufacturer's instructions supplied with the product.

Changing the bag

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

Replace the bag sooner if:

• The bag leaks

• The tubing becomes damaged

• Drainage is impaired

• The outlet becomes damaged

• The connection becomes contaminated

• The bag no longer functions correctly

• A healthcare professional advises replacement

Avoid unnecessary disconnection of the catheter drainage system.
