What are the available capacity options?
The Bard Urine Drainage Bags are offered in two primary capacities to suit different clinical requirements:
- 4000mL Capacity: This is the high-volume option, suitable for maximum collection needs. These configurations often feature a Center Entry design and are available in Latex-Free (LF) materials.
- 2000mL Capacity: This standard size includes specialized configurations, such as the sterile Urinary Meter Bag variant, as well as standard bags equipped with Anti-Reflux Chamber features.
Are bacteriostatic options available to resist CAUTI pathogens?
Yes, select configurations of the Bard Urine Drainage Bags feature bacteriostatic properties.
These bags are specially impregnated with an antimicrobial agent designed to resist common pathogens associated with Catheter-Associated Urinary Tract Infections (CAUTIs), aiding in infection control.
Are anti-reflux features included?
Yes, several configurations of the Bard Urine Drainage Bags are equipped with anti-reflux mechanisms designed to prevent urine backflow and minimize the risk of Catheter-Associated Urinary Tract Infections (CAUTIs).
The specific mechanisms vary by model:
- Anti-Reflux Chamber: Featured on certain standard drainage bags, such as the 2000mL capacity variant.
- IC Anti-Reflux Valve: Incorporated into specialized units, such as the Urinary Meter Bag configuration, providing enhanced contamination control during fluid monitoring.
These essential features contribute to safer, more efficient drainage.
How many drainage bags are included per case?
Each case of Bard Urine Drainage Bags includes 20 units (20/cs). This standard quantity applies to all available configurations, such as:
- 4000mL Latex Free bags
- 2000mL bags (including those with an Anti-Reflux Chamber)
