- 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
