Vinegar kills a lot of bacteria. Alot of people use it (with
water) to wash out their urinary bags. I used to ages
ago. Now I use
a clorox/water solution because bleach will kill ANYTHING.
Also ... in the past ... I've had Uros suggest irrigating with
Clorpactin (prescription needed solution AND has SOME "clor" in
it). Clorox, Clorine (pool cleanliness) all kills bacteria.
Another irragant I tried once (via a script) was Renacidin.
To cut down on gravel or sludge.

Sterile H2O to flush catheters
I was told by my local urologist to sterilize water by boiling
it. My urologists at Hopkins told me to use saline. For
those of you that use vinegar, I asked my local urologist and the 2
urologists I work with at Hopkins and they have never even heard of it
and told me not to insert anything but sterile water into my
bladder. For my own curiosity, what is it supposed to do?

What does
everybody else use? I flush mine w/ 30ml on M/W/F, more if cath
looks cloudy. But, a 1000ml bottle of sterile water
(sodium chloride 0.9%) @ $8.00+ is getting
expensive.
