The Alpine leg bag includes two latex straps that should be threaded through the suspensory loops, wrapped around your leg, and secured with buttons. If you choose to use Alpine Deluxe Leg Bag Straps, you will need to determine the correct size of the strap needed. Simply measure the area of your leg where you wish to wear your appliance and use the corresponding measurements from the sizing chart on the package.
Coloplast offers Alpine Fresh™ appliance cleaner to clean, deodorize, and extend the life of the Alpine leg bag. It is a non corrosive, biodegradable solution developed specifically for use with a variety of urinary and ostomy products. Only use Alpine Fresh™ for daily cleaning of the Alpine leg bag following these steps. Before you begin to clean your leg bag, it is essential that the bottom outlet is closed. Once you have ensured that the outlet is closed, you can unscrew the top fitting, remove the anti-reflux valve, and rinse with warm water.
(If crystals or deposits have formed, separate affected parts and place in a container to soak, for 20-30 minutes, in full-strength Alpine Fresh. To further loosen deposits, close the container and shake. Rinse parts before reassembly of your leg bag. Align the Alpine Fresh bottle with the appliance opening and squeeze approximately one tablespoon of solution into it. Then fill the bag with warm water. Reinstall the anti-reflux valve, position the top adapter onto the top fitting of you leg bag and tighten. Shake the leg bag well, then let it soak for 20-30 minutes. Once the bag has soaked, you should drain the leg bag and rinse with water.)
