How it's used
While this term literally refers to medical urine drainage bags, it is now overwhelmingly used in daily life to mean a portable power bank for charging mobile devices. The medical meaning is still understood in context, but if you are in a tech store or talking about your phone, people will assume you are talking about a battery pack.
