Many urostomy bags have a drain valve, tap, or outlet that allows urine to be emptied from the pouch. Because urostomy pouches are designed for liquid urine output, the outlet style is an important product feature to review before ordering.
Urostomy bag designs can vary by drain valve mechanism, tap type, anti-reflux feature, pouch capacity, bedside drainage connection, one-piece or two-piece configuration, wafer compatibility, and stoma opening size. Product specifications should be reviewed carefully to confirm the outlet style, connection method, pouch size, system compatibility, and intended use for the urostomy pouching system.
