Abstract
Men and women who require using catheters for urinary management rely on drainage bags to adequately store or collect urine. Numerous types and styles of urinary drainage bags are available, and drainage bags possess different features that aid in usability and may help prevent bacterial colonization and infection. Appropriately selecting urinary drainage bags for patients can positively impact quality of life, and thus, healthcare providers should be knowledgeable about the different types of available urinary drainage bags. This chapter reviews the main types of urinary drainage bags: Nighttime/bedside bags, leg bags, and nephrostomy bags. Urinary drainage bag complications, as well as urinary drainage bag research and education are highlighted.
