Attaching a Urostomy Bag

The urostomy bag can be attached to either a Natura or Moldable Tec base. Follow these steps for correct application:

1. Preparing the Bag

   • Before starting, ensure the stopper on the bag's spout is securely closed.

2. Facilitating Attachment

   • Allow a small amount of air to enter the bag. This will make it easier to snap onto the base.

3. Optional Lubrication

   • If needed, lightly lubricate the base connection point and the bag’s opening. This reduces friction and allows for easier attachment.

4. Secure Attachment

   • Align the bag with the base and press firmly around the flange. You should hear several characteristic clicks, indicating proper attachment.

Emptying the Urostomy Bag

For regular management of the bag's contents, follow these steps:

1. Lifting the Tap

   • Lift the spout of the bag upward.

2. Removing the Cap

   • Hold the area near the spout-bag connection and remove the cap.

3. Draining the Contents

   • Lower the spout downward and empty the contents into the toilet.

4. Using a Urine Collection Device

   • If you need to drain into a urine collection device, use the special connector provided with the bags.
   • Important: Do not connect the collection device directly to the bag, as this may cause leaks during disconnection.

5. Removing the Connector

   • The connector can be easily removed with a slight twist and gentle pressure.
