Rusch Belly Bag Urinary Drainage Bag

Description

The Rusch Belly Bag from Teleflex/Rüsch is a sterile, waist-worn urinary drainage bag designed for use with an indwelling catheter. With a 1000 mL capacity and a low-profile shape intended to sit discreetly under clothing, it offers an alternative to leg bags for users who want greater comfort and mobility during daily activities. It is commonly suited to post-surgical and ambulatory catheter users, as well as anyone seeking a more discreet option for extended wear.

Design and wearability

This bag is designed for continuous 24-hour wear around the waist. A soft fabric belt with a quick-release buckle helps provide a secure, adjustable fit, and the approximately 52-inch trim-to-fit strap can be tailored to the user. The waist-worn position supports movement while helping reduce the chance of accidental catheter pulling or extraction during routine activity.

Drainage and fluid control

An anti-reflux valve positioned behind the catheter port helps prevent backflow, supporting safer and more reliable drainage. The bag is emptied through a twist-drain or twist-open outlet, depending on the variant. This arrangement is intended to make draining more straightforward while maintaining a compact, body-worn profile.

Materials and available variants

The Belly Bag is not made with natural rubber latex, which may be important for users with latex sensitivity concerns. Approximate bag dimensions are 32 cm wide by 14 cm high.

Available 1000 mL variants include:

• standard version
• version with sample port
• version with 24-inch drain tube

Overall, the design focuses on discreet wear, comfort, and practical drainage management for active day-to-day use.
