Pediatric Urine Collection Bag

Before You Start...

• The skin area must be clean and dry.

• Avoid oils, baby powders, and lotion soaps that may leave a residue on the skin and interfere with the adhesive’s ability to stick.

• Begin application on the tiny area of skin between the anus and genitals.

• The narrow “bridge” on the adhesive patch prevents feces from contaminating the urine sample and helps position the collection bag.
  
  

For Females

Step 1
Lay infant on her back and wash each skin fold in the genital area. A gentle bath soap is preferred. Avoid using a lotion soap solution as it can leave residue that may interfere with adhesion. Wash anus last. Rinse and dry. Cleanse entire area again using the towelette provided. Allow to air-dry.

Step 2
Remove protective backing from the bottom half of the adhesive patch. It is easier to leave the top half of the adhesive covered until the bottom section has been applied to the skin. Ensure that the skin surface is dry before applying collection bag.

Step 3
Stretch perineum to separate skin folds and expose vagina. When applying adhesive to the skin, be sure to start at the narrow bridge of skin that separates the vagina from the anus, and work outward from this point.

Step 4
Press adhesive firmly against the skin, avoiding wrinkles. When the bottom section is in place, remove the paper backing from the upper portion of the adhesive patch. Work upward to complete application, securing adhesive around the vagina.

For Males

Step 1
Lay infant on his back, and wash entire genital area. A gentle bath soap is preferred. Avoid using a lotion soap solution as it can leave a residue that may interfere with adhesion. Wash scrotum first, then penis, and anus last. Rinse and dry. Cleanse entire area again using the towelette provided. Allow to air-dry.

Step 2
Remove protective backing from the bottom half of the adhesive patch. It is easier to leave the top half of the adhesive covered until the bottom section has been applied to the skin. However, with an active boy, it may be easier to leave all the backing in place until the collection bag has been fitted over the genital area.

Step 3
When pressing adhesive to the skin, be sure to start at the narrow bridge of skin that between the anus and the scrotum, and work outward from this point. Be sure skin is dry before applying the collection bag.

Step 4
Press adhesive firmly against the skin, avoiding wrinkles. When the bottom section is in place, remove the paper backing from the upper portion of the adhesive patch. Work upward to complete application.
