Bard Spirit® Sterile Urine Drainage Leg Bag – 350ml, 30cm Long Tube – Pack of 10 (Ref: DSLB350L)

Bard Spirit® DSLB350L is a sterile 350ml urine drainage leg bag with a 30cm long inlet tube, designed for discreet daytime collection of urine from an indwelling urinary catheter or compatible external urinary drainage system.

The compact 350ml capacity provides a lower-profile option for users who prefer a smaller leg bag, while the 30cm long tube provides additional flexibility for positioning the bag further down the leg.

The Spirit® leg bag incorporates a 180° FLIP-FLO® lever tap, universal ridged connector and a needle-free urine sampling port, providing a practical drainage system for everyday catheter management.

350ml capacity

The 350ml capacity provides a compact alternative to larger 500ml or 750ml leg bags.

It may be particularly suitable where:

• A smaller pouch is more discreet beneath clothing

• Lower weight on the leg is preferred

• The user is able to empty the bag regularly

• Reduced bulk is important during everyday activity

Because the capacity is smaller, it may require more frequent emptying depending on individual urine output.

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

Regular emptying helps:

• Reduce pulling on the catheter

• Reduce tension on the tubing

• Improve comfort

• Reduce movement of the bag on the leg

• Maintain discretion beneath clothing

30cm long tube

Reference DSLB350L incorporates a 30cm long inlet tube.

The additional tubing length provides greater flexibility when positioning the bag further down the leg.

It may be particularly useful where:

• The bag is worn around the calf

• Additional distance is required between the catheter and drainage bag

• Clothing makes lower-leg positioning preferable

• A short-tube bag does not provide sufficient positioning flexibility

The tubing should be positioned to allow urine to drain freely.

Avoid:

• Kinks

• Twisting

• Compression

• Excessive loops

• Pulling on the catheter

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

180° FLIP-FLO® lever tap

The Spirit® leg bag incorporates a 180° FLIP-FLO® lever tap for controlled emptying.

The lever tap provides straightforward operation and has a relatively flat profile against the leg.

To empty the bag:

• Position the outlet over a toilet or suitable receptacle

• Operate the lever according to the manufacturer's instructions

• Allow the urine to drain completely

• Avoid allowing the outlet to touch the toilet or receptacle

• Return the lever to the closed position

• Check that the tap is completely closed before repositioning clothing

Universal ridged connector

The bag incorporates a universal ridged connector designed to provide a secure connection to an appropriate urinary drainage system.

When connecting the bag:

• Wash and dry your hands

• Avoid touching connection surfaces unnecessarily

• Push the connector securely into position

• Check that the connection is stable

• Avoid unnecessary disconnection and reconnection

Maintaining a closed urinary drainage system wherever possible helps reduce unnecessary manipulation of the catheter system.

Needle-free sampling port

Spirit® leg bags incorporate a needle-free sampling port.

This allows an appropriately 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.

Daytime urinary drainage

A leg bag allows urine to drain continuously while the user remains mobile.

The bag can be secured to the leg using the supplied straps or another appropriate support system.

Correct positioning helps:

• Maintain unrestricted urine flow

• Reduce pulling on the catheter

• Improve comfort

• Prevent excessive bag movement

• Maintain discretion beneath clothing

The bag should be properly supported rather than allowing its weight to hang directly from the catheter.

Leg straps

Spirit® leg bags are supplied with leg straps to secure the drainage bag in position.

The straps should:

• Hold the bag securely

• Avoid restricting circulation

• Avoid excessive pressure

• Prevent unnecessary movement

• Remain comfortable during normal activity

Check the skin beneath and around the straps regularly for redness, pressure marks or irritation.

Connection to overnight drainage

The Spirit® leg bag may be used as part of an appropriate link-drainage system with a compatible larger-capacity night drainage bag.

This allows urine to drain through the daytime leg bag into the night bag while sleeping.

When using overnight drainage:

• Use a compatible drainage system

• Ensure all connections are secure

• Position the night bag below bladder level

• Keep tubing free from kinks

• Avoid trapping tubing beneath the body or bedding

• Ensure the tubing does not pull on the catheter or leg bag

• Check that urine can flow freely

Always follow the manufacturer's instructions supplied with both drainage systems.

Changing the leg bag

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

Replace the bag earlier if:

• Leakage occurs

• The bag becomes damaged

• Tubing becomes damaged

• Drainage becomes impaired

• The connector becomes contaminated

• The lever tap no longer closes securely

• A healthcare professional recommends replacement

Do not continue using a damaged or leaking drainage bag.
