Short Description
Reusable unisex pants, designed to be used as an alternative method of holding urinary drainage bags, and collection systems comfortably and securely in place, without leg straps. The pants do not impede circulation to the lower leg. The pants also allow the user a higher level of physical activity without the bag falling down. Available in six sizes, and three colours - grey, white, or black.

More Details
The pants incorporate a soft internal pocket/pouch that is designed to hold most types of urinary leg bags, and can be used with most collection systems, including standard catheters, condom catheters, and ileoconduits.
500ml and some 1000ml leg bags can be accommodated.

The pants are made from 46% cotton, 46% polyester, 8% spandex and a a latex free elastic waist band. The fabric is very light and soft.

Laundering:
- machine wash in cold water
- do not use bleach
- tumble dry on low heat, or line dry


Method Of Use
- Turn Better Pant inside out.
- Place leg bag inside pocket/pouch so that it lies flat.
- Pull release valve through lower opening in pocket/pouch.
- Connect tubing to leg bag (Note: measure length of tubing to fit between the receiving valve on leg bag and sheath, add 25mm to 75mm, then cut tubing to this length).
- Put sheath on.
