Those could be clumps of pus, suggesting an infection. Crystals can also form in the urine. If they get big enough, stones can result. Sometimes tiny ones can form a kind of sediment that settles down to the bottom of the bag. His urine should be tested for these things. A sample including the material should be sent to the lab and looked at under a microscope. They can then identify what these particles are and treat accordingly. Hope this helps.
