Urine Collection Bags, also called catheter drainage bags, are large-capacity bags that are used to collect urine while the patient is laying down. The bags need to be changed whenever they start to look discolored or show signs of wear and tear. The bags typically have a life span of around a month. There are many different types of urine drainage bags. Some have a twist drainage outlet valve, which makes them easier to use and have less spillage. Others are designed to be emptied frequently. The size of a drainage bag is important, as it will affect how frequently it is emptied.

Urine collection bags can be single-use or reusable. Single-use bags usually have a tear-off portion that should be washed between uses. Reusable bags have a drainage tap and are intended to be worn under clothing. A reusable urine collection bag can be used up to five nights, depending on the volume of urine being collected. For high-volume drainage, there are also plastic or glass collection bottles. These are usually secured around the waist or thigh and are most convenient during the day.

Most urine collection bags have needle-free urine sampling ports to reduce the risk of needle-stick injuries and prevent infection. The needle-free port is made of a special ridged universal connector that works with most common catheters. If the urine sample is collected using a needle-free bag, the needle-free port should be disinfected prior to use.

A urine collection bag may have a tear tab or other textured surfaces that increase the braking effect. These bags may also be made of resilient thermoplastics, polyurethanes, or silicones. Preferably, these materials are USP Class VI or PNC. For example, Alpha Gary Corporation makes a urine collection bag with PNC and medical grade USP-Class VI.

Urine collection bags should be cleaned on a regular basis. Ideally, they should be cleaned with a solution of two parts vinegar to three parts water. This will reduce the smell and keep the bag free of germs. The solution should be left inside the urine collection bag for 30 minutes and drained from it with cold water. In December 2021, Otsuka Pharmaceutical Factory, Inc. announced the launch of intermittent urological catheter consisting tube and connector and contains an integrated urine collection bag.
