Precautions for selecting urine collection bag

Jun 06, 2022

1. Close the body, too much pressure - in order to prevent leakage of urine, some products must close the urine collecting cavity to the urination stoma, which will produce a great negative pressure to the stoma, and the blood supply is not smooth, causing the stoma to be red, swollen, blocked, infected, rotten and even necrotic. In addition, the strap tightly ties the patient's waist, causing discomfort.

2. Unable to breathe, repeated infection - the urine collecting cavity of some products adopts a fully closed structure, and the lower end is connected with a urine storage bag. Urine moisture and hot gas fumigate urination stoma. Bacteria breed in the humid and hot environment, causing infection, causing stoma swelling, inflammation, blockage and pain.

3. Large area contact, skin ulceration - some products are skin sticking urine bags, which not only fumigate the infection of urine gas, but also cause discomfort due to large-area sticking with the skin around the stoma, resulting in skin rash and even ulceration. This kind of product is disposable and cannot be used for a long time.

4. Design defects, easy to leak urine - other products have no temporary urine chamber at the inner edge of the urine collection chamber interface, so urine cannot flow smoothly into the urine storage bag, resulting in urine leakage. Some products use curved surface air bags to make urine leakage more serious.

5. The material is rigid, which is unfavorable for wearing - some products use stainless steel urine collecting cavity shell, with latex sleeve inside, and even use metal fixing plate, which is heavy and stiff and uncomfortable. The latex sleeve covers the stoma, causing urinary tract blockage, urine leakage and infection. The edges of the fixing plate cut and grind the skin, causing pain.
