Description

The Leg Bag Emptier System JB-3 is an innovative, non-electric solution designed to empower individuals with limited mobility. This fully mechanical device allows for the discreet and independent emptying of leg bags or urostomy pouches, eliminating the need for caregiver assistance or batteries.

Key Features

• Manual Activation: With an 'Easy Pull' mechanism, the device requires less than 2–3 pounds of force, efficiently draining a 750 ml leg bag in under 30 seconds.
• Universal Compatibility: Compatible with most leg bags and urostomy pouches, it performs optimally with the provided Black Drain Tubing.
• Flexible Installation: Easily attachable to manual or power wheelchairs, or clothing, using various methods such as a Belt Loop, 'C' Bracket, Velcro strap, or zip ties, all without requiring modifications or tools.

Design and Durability

• Leak-Free Operation: The system employs a plunger mechanism to securely pinch a latex tube against a stainless steel bar, preventing leaks and ensuring hygiene.
• Robust Materials: Constructed from high-strength polymers like Delrin, polycarbonate, and nylon, along with stainless steel, the device offers lightweight durability and chemical resistance.
• Long-Term Reliability: Tested to withstand over 100,000 activations, promising long-lasting performance.

Activation Mechanisms

• Versatile Use: Operated via a Finger Loop or Pull Ring, crafted from durable polycarbonate. Suitable for activation using fingers or neck muscles, with alternative grips available for ease of use.
• Adjustable Clamping: Features an adjustable clamping force, factory-set for optimal performance, modifiable through the included Adjustment Screw/Cable Sheath Assembly.

Discreet and Portable

The compact design allows for discreet cable routing under clothing, enhancing portability. With no electrical components, the device minimizes maintenance needs and reduces the risk of failure.

Intended Users

Ideal for individuals with conditions such as spinal cord injury, Spina Bifida, Multiple Sclerosis, Cerebral Palsy, or high-level quadriplegia.
