Bard Bedside Center-Entry Urine Drainage Bag With Anti-Reflux Device

SKUs: 154002 (2000mL) | 153509 (4000mL)

Anti-Reflux Dome Chamber  |  EZ-LOK Needleless Sampling Port  |  Bacteriostatic Vinyl  |  Graduated Volume Markings  |  FSA Eligible  |  Latex Free

A high-capacity bedside urine drainage bag for overnight and extended-wear collection, available in 2000mL and 4000mL capacities. The anti-reflux dome chamber uses a unique dome geometry to prevent backflow of collected urine into the drainage tubing. The EZ-LOK needleless sampling port allows urine specimen collection without breaking the closed drainage system. Bacteriostatic vinyl construction is designed to inhibit bacterial growth within the bag. Graduated volume markings support output monitoring. Available with single hook/string hanger (2000mL) or double hook hanger (4000mL). FSA eligible. Latex free. Sold individually, 5-pack (4000mL), or 20/case.

Key Features

• Anti-reflux dome chamber — unique dome-shaped internal design creates a barrier against backflow; prevents collected urine from returning up the drainage tubing toward the catheter
• EZ-LOK needleless sampling port — allows urine specimen collection by needle-free aspiration without disconnecting the catheter-to-bag system; eliminates needlestick risk during specimen collection
• Bacteriostatic vinyl — bag material is treated to inhibit bacterial growth within the collection bag itself
• Center-entry tubing — drainage tubing connects at the center of the bag rather than the top corner; supports efficient drainage and consistent flow regardless of bag orientation
• Graduated volume markings — calibration marks on the bag for measuring and monitoring urine output
• 2000mL capacity (SKU 154002) — standard high-capacity bedside bag; single hook and string hanger for bedside rail or pole attachment
• 4000mL capacity (SKU 153509) — extra-large capacity for extended overnight use or high-output patients; double hook hanger for secure attachment
• Teardrop shape — rounded bag profile supports efficient drainage to the outlet at the bottom
• Easy-open drain valve — accessible drain outlet for bag emptying; downward drainage design reduces spill risk during emptying
• Sterile — packaged sterile for safety at first use
• Single-use — do not reuse
• FSA eligible | Latex free

Bag Positioning — Required Guidelines

• Always keep the drainage bag below the level of the patient's bladder — never raise the bag above waist level
• Position the bag at the foot of the bed during overnight use; secure drainage tubing to the draw sheet with a sheeting clip
• Never allow tubing to loop, kink, or fall below the level of the bag
• Do not place the bag on the floor
• When transporting a patient, do not place the bag on the abdomen or between the legs
• For obese patients, route the drainage tubing over the patient's leg to promote downward flow

Clinical FAQs

What is the anti-reflux dome chamber and how is it different from a standard anti-reflux valve?

A standard anti-reflux valve — such as the one used in the Coloplast Conveen Security Plus — is a one-way mechanical valve in the tubing or bag inlet that physically blocks reverse flow when backflow pressure is applied. The Bard anti-reflux dome chamber uses a different design: a dome-shaped internal structure within the bag that creates a pocket geometry preventing collected urine from accessing the inlet tubing under conditions that would otherwise allow backflow — such as when the bag is briefly lifted or the patient changes position. The dome acts as a physical trap that breaks the fluid column before it can travel back up the drainage tube. Both approaches prevent backflow; the dome design eliminates the mechanical wear concerns of a moving valve component and has a long clinical track record in bedside bag applications.

What is the EZ-LOK needleless sampling port and when is it used?

The EZ-LOK sampling port is a self-sealing port on the drainage tubing that allows a clinician or caregiver to withdraw a urine specimen for laboratory analysis using a needleless syringe — without opening the drainage system or disconnecting the catheter from the bag. In standard urinary drainage management, opening or disconnecting the system to collect a specimen introduces a contamination opportunity at the junction point. The needleless port maintains the closed, sterile drainage pathway while allowing specimen access: a needleless syringe is inserted into the port, a small sample is withdrawn, and the port self-seals after removal. This design also eliminates the needlestick injury risk that would otherwise occur if a standard needle were used to aspirate through the tubing wall. Specimen collection from the EZ-LOK port is typically indicated when a urinalysis or urine culture is ordered and the drainage system is already in use.

What does "bacteriostatic" mean and does it reduce UTI risk?

Bacteriostatic means the material inhibits bacterial reproduction — it does not kill bacteria outright (bactericidal) but prevents them from multiplying within the bag environment. The vinyl used in this Bard bag is treated to reduce bacterial growth on and within the collection bag surface. This is a secondary contamination-control measure: the primary defenses against catheter-associated UTI are proper insertion technique, maintaining a closed drainage system, keeping the bag below the bladder level to prevent backflow, and regular bag changes on the recommended schedule. Bacteriostatic bag material adds an additional layer of protection against bacterial accumulation within the bag itself, particularly relevant for high-capacity bags that may hold urine for extended periods overnight. Bacteriostatic properties do not eliminate the need for regular bag replacement.

When should I choose the 4000mL version over the 2000mL?

The 2000mL bag (SKU 154002) is sufficient for most patients using a bedside bag overnight — a typical adult produces approximately 1000–1500mL of urine during an 8-hour sleep period, leaving margin within a 2000mL bag before it needs emptying. The 4000mL bag (SKU 153509) is indicated for patients with high overnight urine output — those on diuretic medications, patients with high fluid intake, patients with nocturnal polyuria, or those whose caregivers need extended intervals between emptying. The 4000mL bag with its double hook hanger also provides more secure attachment for the additional weight of a fuller bag. For patients whose 2000mL bag consistently fills overnight requiring a middle-of-night emptying, the 4000mL version may eliminate that disruption.

How does this Bard bedside bag compare to the Coloplast Conveen Security Plus XL (SKU 5062)?

Both are high-capacity drainage bags with anti-reflux protection, latex-free construction, and FSA eligibility. The primary differences are capacity and use pattern. The Coloplast Conveen XL is 1500mL and designed as a dual-use bag — worn as a leg bag during the day, repositioned as a bedside bag at night, using the same bag throughout. The Bard bags are dedicated bedside/overnight bags at 2000mL or 4000mL — higher capacity, not designed for leg wear, with hanger-only attachment. The Bard bag also includes the EZ-LOK needleless sampling port for specimen collection, which the Conveen XL does not. The Bard anti-reflux design uses a dome chamber; the Conveen uses a one-way valve. For patients who need a single bag transitioning between leg and bedside use, the Conveen XL is appropriate. For patients who use a separate dedicated overnight bag — particularly those needing high capacity or specimen collection capability — the Bard bedside bag is the more appropriate choice.
