urine bags ,syringe and needles

syringe is a simple pump consisting of a plunger that fits tightly in a tube. The plunger can be pulled and pushed along inside a cylindrical tube (called a barrel), allowing the syringe to take in and expel a liquid or gas through an orifice at the open end of the tube. The open end of the syringe may be fitted with a hypodermic needle, a nozzle, or tubingto help direct the flow into and out of the barrel. Syringes are often used to administerinjections, insert intravenous drugs into the bloodstream, apply compounds such as glueor lubricant, and measure liquids

Medical-grade disposable hypodermic syringes are often used in research laboratories for convenience and low cost. Another application is to use the needle tip to add liquids to very confined spaces, such as washing out some scientific apparatus. They are often used for measuring and transferring solvents and reagents where a high precision is not required. Alternatively, microliter syringes can be used to measure and dose chemicals very precisely by using a small diameter capillary as the syringe barrel

needle:

A needle is generally a thin, cylindrical object, often with a sharp point on the end

urine bags:

In males, the catheter tube is inserted into the urinary tract through the penis. A condom-type catheter, if used, fits around the tip of the penis, rather than being inserted. A urisheat or Texas catheter can also be used[clarification needed]. In females, the catheter is inserted into the urethral meatus, after a cleansing using povidone-iodine. The procedure can be complicated in females due to varying layouts of the genitalia (due to age, obesityfemale genital cuttingchildbirth, or other factors), but a good clinician would rely on anatomicallandmarks and patience when dealing with such a patient. In the UK it is generally accepted that cleaning the area surrounding the urethral meatus with 0.9% sodium chloride solution is sufficient for both male and female patients as there is no reliable evidence to suggest that the use of antiseptic agents reduces the risk of urinary tract infection.[4] Males may have a slightly higher incidence ofbladder spasms. If bladder spasms occur, or there is no urine in the drainage bag, the catheter may be blocked by blood, thick sediment, or a kink in the catheter or drainage tubing. Sometimes spasms are caused by the catheter irritating the bladder, prostate, orpenis. Such spasms can be controlled with medication such as butylscopolamine, although most patients eventually adjust to the irritation and the spasms go away.
