ABSTRACT:
A carrying device (20) for use in conjunction with the use of a wheelchair (70) by a catherized person. A preferred carrying device (20) is adapted to attach to pivotally connected cross-braces (72) of the wheelchair (70). Another preferred carrying device (20) includes catheter tubing (12) of a gravity flow drainage system (8) for an indwelling urinary catheter (4). The carrying device (20) is preferably used to maintain the gravity flow drainage system (8) by supporting the excess catheter tubing (12) in a horizontal orientation when the carrying device (20) is engaged at an elevation lower than the elevation of the seat (74) of the wheelchair (70) such that substantially horizontal orientation. An alternate embodiment of the carrying device (20) preferably includes drainage bag support means (42) for supporting the drainage bag (6) at an elevation lower than the elevation of the excess drainage tubing (12). Methods for maintaining the gravity flow drainage system are also provided.
