Trident T2: a new development in urine bag tap design.
This article looks at Seton Scholl Continence Care's Simpla Trident T2 leg bag with the new advanced lever-action tap which has recently won the Independent Living Design Award. This easy-to-use lever-action tap has a simple, positive action which allows more independence and less intervention from carers. The lever-action tap enables the patient with limited hand coordination or poor finger/thumb dexterity to operate it effectively. The tap is smooth to the touch and the corners have been rounded to reduce any sharpness. The Simpla Trident T1 and T2 bags have the protected sample port to allow safe urine sampling without the need to break the system.
