The Bard Flip Flo valve is a tap-like device designed to fit securely at the end of urethral or suprapubic catheters, providing an innovative alternative to traditional urinary drainage bags. This convenient valve allows users to retain their bladder’s natural ability to store urine and empty it intermittently at their own discretion by simply releasing the valve mechanism. This promotes more natural bladder function and enhances overall user comfort.

Usage Recommendations
To maintain bladder health and prevent catheter complications, it is advised to open the Flip Flo valve whenever the urge to urinate occurs, as well as routinely before bedtime and upon waking. If waking at night with the need to urinate, emptying the bladder helps avoid undue pressure and discomfort. During the day, users should release the valve at least every four hours, or more frequently if consuming fluids regularly, ensuring continuous comfort and avoiding bladder strain.
