ABSTRACT:
A discreet apparatus for draining a urine collection bag worn by an incontinent person has an electrically operated drain valve coupled to a drain tube of the urine collection bag. A control device for remotely controlling the drain valve is adapted to be worn by the person. The control device is preferably disguised with an outward configuration resembling an article that is ordinarily carried or worn for other purposes.
