Question:
Is there an anti-leak urostomy night bag available? I have not used a night bag for 15 years and now require one. Each one I have used is clumsy to connect and doesn’t permit sleep. They get in the way – I am a restless sleeper, and the night bags aren’t reliable.
Response:
Yes there are night containers. It will be dependent upon the manufacturer’s products you presently use. In Canada, there is usually a toll-free phone number to call. Dependent upon the manufacturer, they come in many sizes and shapes. It is important to use the same manufacturer as the ends that snap together creates a sealed tubing therefore no leakage. If unhappy with the current pouching system with the night time containers try calling another manufacturer as they will offer products free of charge to use until you find a product that you are satisfied with.
