ABSTRACT:
A one-piece connector has a stepped bore, a first end to accommodate an outlet pipe of an outlet tap of a urine drainage leg bag, and a second end to accomodate a nozzle on an inlet pipe of an overnight drainage bag.
The second end includes a hand-grippable tab with an enlarged free end.
The connector is removed from the nozzle by pulling the tab in a direction towards the leg bag. This pulling action on the tab reduces substantially the tension needed to separate the connector from the nozzle.
