What type of bag is specifically used for paediatric urine collection?

The special adhesive U bag is designed specifically for pediatric urine collection because it provides a secure and hygienic way to collect urine from infants and young children. This type of bag has an adhesive rim that adheres to the skin, allowing for a reliable seal that minimizes the risk of leakage and contamination during the collection process. The U-shaped design accommodates the anatomy of children, making it easier to collect the urine without discomfort or the complications often associated with other collection methods.

Regular plastic bags are not suitable for this purpose as they lack the necessary adhesive feature and can lead to inaccurate results due to leaks. A sterile vacuum-sealed bag is primarily used for specimen storage or certain lab tests rather than direct collection from children. An open container does not provide a secure method of collection and poses a high risk of contamination and spills, which are critical considerations in pediatric care. Therefore, the special adhesive U bag is the most appropriate and effective choice for pediatric urine collection.
