All Flexicare bags are made and tested to meet international standards (BS EN ISO 8669)
Flexicare urine bags have been designed and manufactured with every user's requirements taken into consideration. Achieving a high level of users' confidence and comfort is a fundamental criteria in the making of Flexicare's range of urology products.
Secure Attachment to Catheter Sheath - The conical shaped smooth surface connector glides easily into both catheter and sheath providing a secure connection that will withstand the most vigorous user activity. The absence of ridges in the connector reduces the risk of contamination when disconnecting, a problem frequently experienced with ridged connectors.
Reduced Risk of Needle Stick Injury - The carefully designed shrouded sample port reduces the risk of needle stick injury while aiding the accurate introduction of the needle during sampling.
Free and Rapid Flow - The satin finished wide bore drainage tubing allows for the unimpaired flow of urine, optimising drainage and providing observation of urinary flow at a glance. The tubing is both firm and flexible affording comfort to the user.
Safe and Secure Drainage - The unique design and manufacture of our non-return (NRV) valves allows low pressure drainage without compromising its anti reflux property, a balance required to allow free flow of urine into the bag and at the same time protect the patient against potential ascending infection.
Maximum Comfort - All of our community leg bags have a durable, skin friendly non woven fabric backing to reduce skin irritation and perspiration, conditions often associated with non fabric backed leg bags.
Secure and Comfortable Fit - Anti slip latex free Lycra Velcro straps provide secure comfortable support and help maintain the inlet tube and NRV in position, preventing kinking of the tube or folding of the NRV. A situation that can lead to backflow often associated with bladder irritability and subsequent catheter or sheath separation.
Universal Secure Over Night Connection - The silicone overnight connection fitted to outlet taps of Flexicare leg bags provide a secure and reliable connection to a bedside night drainage bag.
Optional Tube Lengths - The table below shows the different tube lengths available.

Easy to Operate Leak Free Taps - Both the lever tap and t-tap fitted to Flexicare bags are 100% leak tested, and are easy to operate. The lever tap requires a lower force to open and close the tap and this design is preferred by the elderly where dexterity may be impaired.
