What is a Texas catheter? also, anyone with a condom type catheter or
previously had one, how did it work and how does it work for you? I.e. leaking
and coming off Dan T.

pretty much the same techniques as Dan described here, but I decided on me the
suprapubic more for practicality. Mainly I was not draining sufficiently when
I had a Texas catheter and I consistently a problems with the aforementioned
condom catheter leaking all over my pants. I also wanted to keep my little Q
open for other options, but haven't had much action lately. :-)

before that. I much prefer the SP - my Peter is much too good looking to have a
tube stuck down his throat! My PCAs change the SP every 3 weeks and it's very
easy. It's about as difficult as changing a belly button ring. The only
cleaning I do is wipe around the opening once a day with an antibacterial wet
one and put a dab of triple antibiotic cream on it.

response:
Hello,
I am curious and would like to know how long you have had your suprapubic? I
may have to have one in the near future because of seven problems and want to
know how difficult they are to maintain, keep clean and so on. I hope your
problems will resolve themselves and that your catheter performs well. I now
have an indwelling Foley and am just out of the hospital for a bladder
infection, it was terrible.
Take care, Dillon

I usually use around 8 cc, however, I think this is more experimental and
depends on every individual's needs.

I have had periods of bleeding through my Supra Pubic. I decided to reduce
the inflation of the balloon from 10ccs to 5ccs. Since then - so far - no
bleeding and
it is more comfortable. Anyone else done this?
