Available in latex-free non-sterile, latex-free sterile, and latex sterile configurations. FSA eligible.

Clinical FAQs

When would a patient need extension tubing — isn't the tubing already attached to the leg bag long enough?

Most leg bags come with pre-attached tubing ranging from 12" to 20" in length, which is sufficient for positioning the bag on the thigh or calf in most patients. However, there are situations where additional length is needed. Taller patients may need more tubing run to reach a calf-worn bag from the catheter exit. Wheelchair users who mount the bag on the wheelchair frame or armrest rather than on the leg require a longer run from the catheter to the bag. Patients who prefer to wear the bag lower on the leg (calf vs. thigh) may not have enough tubing with the bag's pre-attached length to maintain the required below-bladder positioning without the tube pulling on the catheter. Some catheter valve setups using short-tube leg bags (such as the 2.5" tubing Conveen Security Plus bags) need additional length for practical use. Extension tubing resolves each of these scenarios without requiring a different bag model.

Does the URL say "latex" but the product is available latex-free — which SKU should I order?

The page name reflects the product line's historical name — Bard has offered latex extension tubing for decades. The current product range includes latex-free variants that are now the standard recommendation for most patients. SKU 150615 (latex-free, non-sterile) is the appropriate choice for the majority of home care users and outpatients who are reusing the tubing with routine cleaning. SKU 4A4194 (latex-free, sterile) is appropriate when a sterile-packaged component is clinically required, such as post-surgical or fresh catheter placement settings. SKU 6A4194 (latex, sterile) is the original latex version and should only be used when latex material is specifically appropriate and the patient has been confirmed to have no latex allergy or sensitivity. For any patient with a documented latex allergy, spina bifida, or multiple prior latex exposures, select only the latex-free SKUs (150615 or 4A4194).

How should this extension tubing be cleaned for reuse?

Rinse the tubing through with clean water immediately after disconnecting from the drainage system. Wash with mild soap and warm water, flushing soap solution through the full length of the lumen. Rinse thoroughly with clean water until all soap is cleared. Allow to air dry before reattaching. Some clinicians recommend a dilute white vinegar flush (one part vinegar to three parts water) to prevent mineral deposit build-up inside the lumen — rinse well afterward. Do not share tubing between patients. Inspect before each use for cracks, kinks, discoloration, or clouding of the material that indicates degradation; replace when any of these are present. Reuse is intended for a single patient over a reasonable use period — not indefinite.
