Do you know what your drainage bag tap options are?
If you’ve always used the same catheter drainage bag, you may not be aware of the drainage tap options available. Most leg bags are offered with two different drainage tap choices – lever tap and T-tap. A description and image of both can be found below.
Lever tap drainage bag
A lever tap drainage bag features a small, ergonomic-shaped lever which can be pushed down to empty the bag, and pulled up to close it again.
T tap drainage bag
A T tap drainage bag features a T junction where you slide the mechanism across and back again to open and close the bag.
