Ugo Catheter Valve - Urine Drainage Catheter Valves, Comfortable Easy to Use Lever Tap with Smooth Edges and Soft Silicone Tubing - an Effective Alternative to Leg Bags (Pack of 5)

This product changed my life. I was catheterised last year and felt like my life was over. I love going to the gym and wasn’t confident enough to do that with a bag on. I discovered this product and it was neat enough to tuck into my gym shorts meaning I could like a relatively normal life.Just remember to shut the valve when wearing without a bag.

Prompt delivery. Well made unit and fitted on tube firmly, no falling off! Seems 100% leakproof so five stars it is.

I love these but I found the lever flips on too easily so I’m leaking everywhere. But I do like how urine flows a bit quicker out of it . Even though the lever is looser I find it easier to turn on and off as I have dexterity problems with my hands. If UGO come up with a better design I’d order again. But overall I like them

The quality is very good. I’ve tried a few different valves but these are the best so far. I use them with my catheter

Have waited a few weeks before reviewing this item as I wanted to see how it performed. I must say I am highly delighted with the product. Like most people that have had a catheter inserted I was fitted with a bag. This was totally inconvenient especially as I was dealing with my disabled wife. This item has meant that I can lead a more or less ‘normal’ life whilst I wait for my prostate procedure. Easy to fit and change. I couple of tips for male users. Wear pants in bed to protect the tube and carry a 1 pint plastic milk carton in the boot of your car if you drive. I find that sometimes I find the urge to pass water and can do so using the empty carton whilst sitting in my car with an old newspaper over my lap to cover what I am doing. If you are in two minds about trying this product do it - life is so much easier without the bag.

An extremely useful gadget for anyone for has to have a catheter. These valves make changing leg bags a much easier task as you're not going to have leaks - e.g. when you swap from your day bag to your night bag. Also - provided you're not one of the folks who is prone to leaks around the catheter - the valve allows you to do without a leg back completely for periods of time. When you feel the urge to 'go', you just go to the loo and open the valve.

Had 2 "accidents" when wearing shorts and for some reason the valve opened past the resistance and voided my bladder, I sort found a work around by using a piece of velcro around the valve switch to hold the switch in place, not ideal but it gave me back my independence from having to use a leg bag. Brilliant concept

Tap is far too loose, hence cannot be securly closed. Prone to opening with normal bodily movement. Much social embarassment, great discomfort and great inconvenience.
