The connection of the pouch to a B. Braun distal bag can
require the use of the supplied uro connector. To clip on the
uro connector, press the two wings and insert it into the pouch
tap (N). Open the tap turning it half a turn counterclockwise to
allow urine to flow in the B. Braun distal bag. To un-clip, close
the tap of the pouch by turning it half clockwise and pull out the

If you wish to use a B. Braun belt, use the two loops on each side.
9. Using filter protection stickers
Before bathing or showering, stick the filter protection sticker
over the gas evacuation openings (S) in order to maintain filter
performances.
For drainable pouches, in the case of horizontal use of the
pouches (night, etc.) stick the filter protection sticker over
the gas evacuation openings (S) in order to avoid leakages
through the filter. Replace the pouch when a vertical position
is recovered.
If you note any change on your stoma and/or peristomal skin,
please contact your health care professional.
National regulations for the destruction of
potentially infectious materials must be observed.
