Fixating your catheter is very important. Without it you could experience unwanted pulling, which in turn could damage your urethra or in extreme cases pull the catheter out. Dave uses the Ugo Fix Gentle catheter clip, this product uses soft silicone instead of adhesive, which is a great option for him as it’s gentle on the skin.

Dave opts for a Ugo7C leg bag – this is because it’s 750ml, meaning he doesn’t have to empty it as often when he’s watching TV. It's got a short tube, which means he can attach it to his upper thigh, where he finds it the most comfortable. And finally the bag has a lever tap, which he finds easier to open and close. Many options are available, but it’s about finding the right fit for you.

Leg bag fixation is an important part of a comprehensive drainage system. If you’re using leg bags, fixating them correctly will prevent unwanted pulling and tugging to the catheter as your bag fills. There’s many options to choose form here, from leg bag sleeves to unique straps, but Dave chooses to use tried and tested leg bag straps.
