Frequently Asked Questions
1. Can you sleep with a Hollister urinary leg bag?
As long as the bedside bag is above your bladder, you can sleep in any position. The urine bag should not be left on the floor.
2. What are urinary leg bags by Hollister used for?
The urine that drains from your catheter is collected in a urinary leg bag. It is small enough to wear under your clothes and allows you to go about your daily routine.
3. Why do I feel the urge to pee with a catheter?
Urine may also come out around the catheter. Bladder spasms cause this, and you have no control over them. Make sure the catheter is not obstructed and is properly taped. Contact your doctor if the spasms persist.
4. How often should a catheter be flushed?
According to most institutional regulations, catheters should be cleaned every 8 hours.
