Which Night Bag 
is right for me?

GB Night Bags are designed with common features but also 

with specific benefits to suit individual needs. Here are some 

considerations to make when selecting a Night Bag:

1) 

Do you wear a Leg Bag or Catheter Valve and need a 
Night Bag for additional drainage?

 

If yes, a Single Use Night Bag would be beneficial. 

You connect it directly to your Leg Bag or Catheter 

Valve as part of an overnight link system (Page 13).

2) 

Are you largely immobile or under bed rest?

 

If so, one of the reusable options would be suitable as 

they can be connected directly to the Catheter and kept 

in situ for 5-7 days without a need for a Leg Bag. 

3) 

Are you susceptible to infections?

 

Those who are more vulnerable or at 

risk of infection could benefit from 

our GB3S - a Night Bag that 

combines the infection control 

benefits of both single use 

and sterile options.

Remember 

Under no circumstances 

should any Night Bag be 

reused once the initial 

connection has been 

broken.

Overnight 
Link System

Where a Leg Bag is being used, a 2 litre or 3 litre Night Bag can 

be connected to the end of the Leg Bag to provide additional 

capacity for overnight drainage.

1)  When you go to bed, do not disconnect your Leg Bag from 

your Catheter or Sheath.

2)  Insert the connector of your Night Bag to the silicone sleeve 

on your Leg Bag (Diagram 1). Insert the connector fully to 

allow a secure connection.

3)  Once connected, turn the Libra Leg Bag tap to the open 

position (Diagram 2) to allow the overnight drainage into 

the Night Bag.

4)  Before disconnecting the Night Bag in the morning, ensure 

the Libra Leg Bag tap is in the closed position (Diagram 3).

The next night, use a new Night Bag 
– never reconnect a used Night Bag.
