Emptying a urine bag is a straightforward process. Simply follow these steps:
-
Prepare: Place a suitable container (e.g., a measuring jug) below the urine bag's drainage outlet. Ensure the container is clean and appropriately sized.
-
Clean: Wipe the drainage outlet of the urine bag with a clean wipe or antiseptic wipe to prevent contamination.
-
Drain: Gently open the drainage outlet, allowing the urine to flow into the prepared container. Important: Avoid letting the drainage outlet touch the inside of the container.
-
Dispose: Once the bag is empty, securely close the drainage outlet. Dispose of the urine appropriately according to your local regulations. This may involve flushing down the toilet, depending on the type of urine bag and its contents.
