ABSTRACT:
An expandable plastic collection bag adapted to be strapped to the leg of an incontinent patient and provided with an inlet tube for directing urine into the bag. The bag also has a clamp-equipped discharge tube to facilitate periodic draining of the bag's contents. The straps are located to exert a force urging the inner wall of the bag into conforming engagement with a wearer's leg, and side pleats allow expansion of the bag in a way that permits a relatively large portion of the inner wall to remain in surface contact with the leg. The inlet and outlet tubes are hingedly mounted for self-adjusting limited pivotal movement towards and away from the bag's outer wall to reduce possibilities that the flow passages might become kinked as the bag is filled. Such pivotal movement is facilitated by openings and by heat seal lines formed in the walls of the bag at the locations of the inlet and outlet tubes. Upper and lower sections of the bag are disposed between the respective inlet and outlet tubes and the wearer to shield the wearer's leg against direct contact with such tubes, and a pocket is provided adjacent the inlet tube (and also, if desired, adjacent the outlet tube) to receive and protect the tube against contamination during handling and storage of the bag.
