Sterile single use night bags should be used for all urinary catheter patients that require a 2 litre night bag that use a catheter valve at other times. At night these bags are attached to the catheter valve. The single use bags do not have any cost implications, when compared against drainable 2 litre bags but are recommended by infection control for use by all patients that have indwelling urinary catheters and require free drainage overnight.

ESTIMATED USAGE

Prescribe 3 packs per month.

Single use T tap (can only drain once); attaching directly to catheter or single use link drainage; for patients using a Ugo Catheter Valve overnight.
