my test to see if i could use a condom cath was pretty simple. when
they removed my foley after my accident - about 3 months in, they handed me a
urinal and left me for a few hours. sure enuf, in a few hours, i felt the
urge and although i couldn't control it, i went on my own. the rehab
hospital tried a condom cath and it has worked for 37 years. pinch off
your supra-pube and see if you go normally - pretty simple.

For all the MALES.......How did you know you could use
comdom caths?? My doc's had me having Caths done every 6 hours or so for the
1st 31/2 years after my injury......after a while I got blockage inside where
they had to do surgury 2 times to clear opening for me to continue being
Cathed, After that I was told due to this trouble I need to consider
supra-pubic -- which I ended up doing.....My Question is, they never ever told
me I could use comdom Cath ? Now I always hear how with those you all have few
UTI'S . I wonder if Doc's just wanted to do this to make money......cause my
Urologist was pushing me for supra-pubic surgury ? Now with my infections He
say's well if I have to i'll RE-ROUTE your bladder to the side and give you a
side bag? I told my wife No-Way - Like Lori Stated they may kill me or
me or make things worse !
