If your urostomy isn't draining into the Hollister 9655 Urinary Leg Bag Combination Pack, several common issues could be the cause. First, ensure that the latex-free, vented tubing is not kinked or blocked, as this can prevent urine flow. Confirm that all connections between your urostomy pouch and the large (30 oz) leg bag are secure, and that the vented cap is functioning to allow air release, which helps drainage. The leg bag should always be positioned below your stoma for gravity-assisted flow. Regularly check for buildup or crystallization inside the tubing or bag, as this can cause blockages—periodic cleaning and timely replacement of your Hollister equipment are essential. If you recently switched to this combination pack, verify that it is compatible with your current pouch. Any persistent drainage issues, unusual odors, cloudiness, or discomfort should be reported to your healthcare provider.
