Using a Night Stand

It is recommended that you use a night stand or bedside

hanger to support the Night Bag in use.

The pre-punched hanger holes on all Great Bear Night Bags

allow for the weight of the bag to be equally supported on a

Night Stand.

There are two Night Stands available for use at home, the

metal 3-in-1 hanger or the Plastic Flat Pack Hanger. Both

are available complimentary to patients registered with our

Nightingale Home Delivery Service (see page 23).

Please Freephone 0800 055 6270 for more information.

Important: Always position the Night Bag on a night stand at a level

below the bladder to ensure optimal drainage

Key Tips for using a Great

Bear Urine Drainage Bag

•

Hygiene is of upmost importance when catheterised to prevent

infection. Ensure you wash your hands thoroughly before and after

handling your Great Bear Drainage Bags. If someone else is handling

your Leg or Night Bag, whether that is a Relative, a Carer or Healthcare

Professional, they must wash and dry their hands and wear a clean

pair of gloves.

•

Any Great Bear Drainage Bags that are supplied in an individual peel

pouch are sterile. It is important that they remain in their sterile peel

pouch until ready for use. If the packaging is damaged or opened, the

sterility of the product may be compromised and should not be used.

•

Libra Leg Bags and the reusable Night Bags can be kept in situ for 5-7

days. These bags should only ever be disconnected from the Catheter

when it needs changing.

•

Whilst the graduations on Great Bear Drainage Bags provide a useful

indication, they are approximates only and should not be used to

record accurate urinary output. If an accurate measurement of

volume is required, drain the urine into a clean measuring jug.

•

Used Drainage Bags can be disposed of with

household waste. Disposable Black Bags

are available on request through the

Nightingale Home Delivery Service.

Do Not flush your Drainage Bag

down the toilet.

•

Keep Drainage Bags out of

the reach of children – small

components could pose a

choking hazard.
