HOW TO USE
Consult your Healthcare Professional for advice before using the Ugo Fix Leg Bag Straps.
Always wash and dry your hands before and after handling your catheter or drainage bag tubing
and straps. If someone else is handling your catheter or drainage bag tubing and straps, they
must wash and dry their hands and apply a clean pair of gloves on every occasion to avoid cross
infection.
We recommend that you change your Ugo Fix Leg Bag Straps daily along with your catheter
hygiene regime. Only change them sooner if they are damaged or soiled.
The Ugo Fix Leg Bag Straps are not waterproof; however you can still bathe and shower when
wearing them to support your leg bag. Replace the wet Ugo Fix Leg Bag Straps with a clean
dry pair afterwards.
Identify the best place to wear the Ugo Fix Leg Bag Straps
The Ugo Fix Leg Bag Straps can be used to support your urinary leg bag on your thigh, upper
knee or lower leg. The position you wear your leg bag will depend on whether you have a
urethral or suprapubic catheter, the length of your catheter and leg bag tubing, your leg bag
volume and your level of mobility.
