How to Fit a Flip-Flo?

Published in Medical Devices 1 min read

Fitting a Flip-Flo involves secure placement either within your underwear or using a leg strap for support.

Here's a breakdown of the fitting options:

  • Underwear: The Flip-Flo can be tucked into your underwear. This method is straightforward but may require adjustments for comfort and security.

  • Leg Strap:

    • Placement: A leg strap is worn on your upper thigh.
    • Support: The Flip-Flo is then tucked under the leg strap for secure support.
    • Availability: Leg straps are often available on prescription, so consult with your healthcare provider.

It's important to note that, unlike some drainage systems, the Flip-Flo does not need to be kept lower than your bladder when it's not being emptied. This offers greater freedom of movement and positioning.
