Rusch Belly Bag Urinary Drainage Bag - 1000cc
- Designed to be used with foley or suprapubic catheters
- Fills by internal pressure push
- Ready to use, sterile, Latex-free
Product Overview
Rusch Belly Bag Urinary Drainage Bag - 1000cc
Belly Bag Urinary Drainage Bag
The Belly Bag by Rusch improves dignity, mobility and quality of life by having the bag worn at the abdominal area. Fastening around the waist by means of a woven belt with a quick release buckle makes it suitable for men or woman 24 hours per day. It is designed to be used with foley or suprapubic catheter (Not for use with External Male Catheter). Eliminates the problems associated with leg and bedside bags including inadvertent catheter extraction and leg bruising.
The Belly Bag is emptied by means of a drain tube with a twist valve that is in the approximate position of the urethra. An anti reflux valve behind the catheter port prevents reflux urine flow.
Comes complete and ready to use with easy-to-fasten waist belt, anti-reflux valve, and soft nonwoven back panel. Sterile, 1000cc capacity.

HUGE UPGRADE FROM LEG BAG!
Pros:
Convenient and discreet.
Best Uses:
Foley users with mobility.
Describe Yourself:
Non-elderly 65 senior.
This product is a HUGE upgrade from the traditional leg bag. It's discreet, undetectable,
and easy to use and manage. I've been using it 24/7 for several months and would recommend it highly to anyone who needs to use a foley.
New users should know that the inlet valve is somewhat delicate and may occasionally restrict urine flow. This can happen while sitting in one position for any length of time .... especially when driving. An urge to urinate is the warning sign of this. The fix is quick & easy! Just grasp the valve where it attaches to the bag and giggle it back and forth. Be careful not to grasp the catheter, it could come off .... ask me how I know!
For this reason I think it's IMPERATIVE that the belly bag NOT be used by someone who may be unable to recognize and act on the above warning sign.
Overall, this is truly a fine quality product!

BOTTOM LINE Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

You'll never go back to leg bag again.
Pros:
Comfortable to wear.
Convenient.
Discreet.
Cons:
none.
Best Uses:
All the time.
Describe Yourself:
Elderly.
I have been a leg bag user for several years, and I don't know why I never got a recommendation to try this product. This is perfect for the active person, and much easier to sleep with as opposed to using a bed collection bag. Finally my legs are free of leg straps, and because of the positioning of the bag, the catheter is much less irritating to me. You'll never go back to a leg bag. Rusch did a great job with this bag.

BOTTOM LINE Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

The bag can be worn 24 hours a day! I know because i wear mine continually. It is more convienient to stand over the toilet to drain the urine although the other ways mentioned will also work. It is a matter of preference i suppose. I have used other collection systems but prefer the belly bag over any other type. Since this will be a permanent part of my life hereafter. I may also add it is much more comfortable to wear than other types of collection systems.

You can do it from a wheelchair, if you can slide your pants down (or pull your skirt up). I slide my pants down to about knee level; then I hook a bottle on the pants' top, and empty the bag into that. I am usually on the toilet when I do this, but it can be done in a wheelchair or any kind of seat, including a bed.

The belly bag also comes in a style with a long tube for drainage. I have no idea if the tube in a problem while wearing the bag but it makes emptying it easier.

There is a spout with a twist-type valve that folds down to empty the bag. Hold the spout over the toilet, graduate container, bedpan, or urinal. Center the drain spout over the container, then twist the valve clockwise to open & drain. When the bag is empty, twist the valve counterclockwise to close.

As a nurse, my best guess is no. The inlet is large enough to connect to the outlet (open end) of a regular Foley catheter. A nephrostomy tube is much smaller than an indwelling catheter, so the open end would be too small to fit the connector/inlet.

The guidelines for cleaning leg bags have been studied and published. They recommend using a 1:10 bleach solution (1 part bleach to 10 parts water), then rinsing well. I have done this with a belly bag and have had no problems.
