  • Patent number: 5263946
    Abstract: A latex container for use as a leg bag by urinary incontinent persons. The latex leg bag is provided with strap holders that are formed simultaneously with the leg bag structure to provide a more structurally reliable strap holder. The strap holder includes a nodal growth of latex, simultaneously grown during the latex coagulation process. The nodal growth bridges an interstice on the former to close the strap holder loop. The leg bag container is provided with a skewed entry neck for facilitating better dressing of the delivery tube during use, and may be formed in a concave shape to better conform to the user's leg. The former is machined with corresponding structure to form the leg bag in a latex coagulation process. After the latex bag is formed and cured for a predetermined period, the latex bag structure is treated with a rubber polymer/solvent (KRATON G/toluene) chemical compound for managing the permeation of urine odors.
