POPPA for Catheter Waste 2000 ml is a user-friendly, hygienic and safe solution for emptying day or even full night catheter bags in one go and hygienic disposal of catheter waste. Its compact, flatpack design allows for easy storage, even bedside storage, and is ready to use in one simple move.

CDC, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, recommend to empty the collecting bag regularly using a separate, clean collecting container for each patient; avoid splashing, and prevent contact of the drainage spigot with the nonsterile collecting container. This is an IB Category recommendation. CDC defines an "IB" level of evidence in its infection-control guidelines as follows:

• The "I" indicates this recommendation is strongly endorsed for practice.
• The "B" means it's based on clinical or epidemiologic studies plus a solid theoretical rationale, even if no large randomised trial exists.

POPPA for Catheter Waste meets CDC's strong (IB) recommendations on maintaining a closed system, preventing contamination, and using separate, clean containers during drainage.

• Single-use, pop-up container that remains closed until connection, preserving system integrity.
• Designed to fit the catheter spigot, minimizing splashes and spigot-to-container contact risks.
• Provides a dedicated collection device per patient, minimising cross-contamination risks.
• Disposal follows facility waste protocols.
• QR-linked instructional video and printed directions reinforce compliance during use.

Start by peeling open the flap and folding it down. POPPA goes from flat to ready-to-use in one move — simply press the sides to pop it open. Place POPPA on a flat surface or hold it by the handle. Empty the catheter bag into the container and check the volume if needed. Close by folding the flap back up. Dispose of in a macerator or via the waste stream.
