The #1 solution for nephrostomy patients. Manfred Sauer are market leaders in bag and belt systems for nephrostomy patients and was the first company to recognise the need for a more secure and suitable nephrostomy system.
NephSys came about due to a recognised need for a more secure and suitable nephrostomy drainage system. Both patients and healthcare professionals were involved in its design, and we have received great feedback since it has been available. We are always happy to hear that this product has reduced the incidence of nephrostomy drain/catheter dislodgement and helped reduce the incidence of infection.
What is NephSys?
NephSys – a nephrostomy bag and belt system which consists of an elasticated, fully adjustable waist belt with hook and loop pads that can be worn on the belt in your chosen position. The drainage bags suspend from the waist belt and directly connects to the nephrostomy drain/catheter.
This secure and discreet waist-belt system reduces the risk of the drain dislodging and it is comfortable, undetectable under most clothes and connects to all universal night drainage bags.
Suitable for single and bilateral nephrostomies, NephSys improves patient outcomes and reduces hospital admissions.
The NephSys system also helps to provide a seamless transition from Hospital to Home, is cost-effective, and all components are available on NHS FP10 prescription and widely used in the community.

Our Product Range
What is a nephrostomy?
A nephrostomy is an artificial opening created between the kidney and the skin which allows urine to be diverted directly from the kidney to an external collection system. It exits the body from the lower back and can be single or bilateral.
A nephrostomy tube is a narrow catheter with a pigtail end. It is inserted into the ‘renal pelvis’ of the kidney in order to drain urine.
A nephrostomy tube/catheter will normally be inserted by an interventional radiologist using ultrasound guidance.
