Re: [QUAD-L] Cleaning bags

Wow!  I was thinking it was a much more dilute solution.  So you're saying you just mix 1/4 gallon of bleach with 3/4 gallon water and just pour into your bags from it?  As long as I have your eyes, I've been checking at carecure for uti solutions and came across a couple studies on infection rates amongst various bladder management techniques.  When you started having problems I thought the first thing you should have considered was getting a supra.  The studies back that up.  They found infection rates between supra and intermittent catheters the same.  I know I complained about mine but I'm not female and for some reason the urologist cut mine way off center.  Must have been significantly thinner bladder wall there.  This causes it to drain poorly on my right side.  Anyway, I'll find the study when I have a minute.  Eric Lori Michaelson wrote: Both morning and evening we use 1/4 bleach to 3/4 water.  A long time ago we created a little system to do it.  A small funnel attached to some tubing. It makes it easier to pour the bleach (from the jug) and water into it and then into the bags.   Lori    -------Original Message-------   From: Eric Olson Date: 03/12/06 12:13:45 To: quad Subject: [QUAD-L] Cleaning bags   What's the ratio of bleach to water for cleaning leg/bed bag.   Eric
