Urine collection bags provide a safe, convenient way to manage urinary drainage for individuals with urinary incontinence, urinary retention, or other urinary tract conditions. Designed to work with a Foley catheter, external urinary catheter, or other catheter tubing, these systems collect urine securely while supporting hygiene, comfort, and patient safety.
At ATC Medical, we offer a carefully selected range of urine collection bags and drainage systems from trusted manufacturers to support dependable performance, proper compatibility, and everyday comfort for users and caregivers.

How Urine Collection Bags Work
A urine collection bag connects to a catheter that transports urine from the bladder through catheter tubing and into the bag using gravity-assisted flow. Each bag is equipped with key features that support safe and effective use, including anti-reflux valves, secure outlet valves, and graduated measurement scales.
Leg bags are typically worn under clothing during the day, offering low-profile convenience and freedom of movement. Bedside urine drainage bags hold a larger volume and are ideal for overnight or long-term use. Some users may prefer specialized options, such as belly bags, which attach to the waist for enhanced mobility.
Whether for long-term urinary incontinence, post-surgical recovery, or intermittent catheterization, urine collection bags are a critical component in maintaining comfort, hygiene, and independence.
Advantages of Using Urine Collection Bags
Urine collection bags are designed to support consistent urinary drainage while promoting comfort, hygiene, and ease of use. With options tailored for both active daytime wear and overnight drainage, these systems help users maintain independence and routine while reducing the risk of leaks, backflow, and skin irritation. The variety of styles and features available allows individuals and caregivers to choose a solution that aligns with daily needs and medical requirements.
Reliable and Secure Drainage
Modern urine bags incorporate anti-kink tubing, anti-reflux valves, and secure connectors to ensure consistent drainage and reduce the risk of leakage or backflow.
Comfortable and Discreet Options
Leg bags are designed to be lightweight and low profile, allowing users to move naturally and wear regular clothing without bulk. Soft elastic straps and leg straps help distribute weight evenly for comfortable all-day use.
Multiple Styles and Capacities
Collection bags are available in a wide range of sizes - from pediatric options to high-volume drainage solutions such as 2L bags and 4000ml bags for overnight use - allowing users to choose what best fits their needs.
Hygienic Construction
Most urine bags are sterile, single-use, or designed for short-term wear to help reduce infection risk. Closed-system drainage kits offer an extra layer of protection against contamination.
Clear Output Monitoring
Graduated measurement markings allow caregivers and clinicians to accurately track urine output, which is especially important in clinical settings or for individuals recovering from surgery, kidney issues, or urinary tract conditions.

Caring for and Maintaining Urine Collection Bags
Proper care of urine collection bags helps maintain hygiene and prevent complications such as urinary tract infections. While many bags are disposable and intended for short-term use, reusable bags should be cleaned according to the manufacturer's guidance.
Daily Care Tips:
- Always wash your hands before and after touching the catheter or tubing.
- Ensure the drainage tube remains below bladder level to support proper urine flow.
- Empty the bag when it is one-third to half full to prevent tension on the catheter.
- Inspect tubing for kinks or blockages and ensure secure connections.
Cleaning Guidance for Reusable Bags:
- Rinse with warm, soapy water after emptying.
- Follow with a vinegar or diluted bleach solution if recommended for disinfection.
- Allow the bag to air dry completely before reuse.
Users should change leg bags daily and bedside bags every few days, unless otherwise instructed by a healthcare provider.
If users experience fever, cloudy urine, foul odor, backflow into the bladder, or pain, they should seek medical advice promptly, as these may be signs of infection.
