To empty a catheter bag, place a clean container below the bag's outlet valve. Ensure the bag is securely fastened and gently open the valve to let the urine drain into the container. Once empty, close the valve, clean it if needed, and dispose of the urine appropriately. Remember to wash your hands after handling the catheter bag.
