Right! Just watch where the catheter hangs. You want to stay in a sterile
field at all times.

I think I understand what you're asking...yes, if so. I have an
indwelling Foley, no clamps to open or close. When I flush, I unhook the bag,
let the cath hang; then insert the syringe and flush; then attach bag.

Hi Eric,
Do you open the closed system urinary? I assume you do if you're using an
indwelling or sp catheter.

Hi Dave,
I'm not really understanding the question...'How do you open your tube?' As
for the bags, we put a little of the vinegar mixture in the bags when not in
use, i.e. night bag soaks during day & leg bag soaks over night.

Hi Eric,
How do you open your tube? Do you also flush the leg/bedside bags with a
vinegar mix, too? I flush out my tubing and bags with a 10/1 bleach/water mix,
and then throughly dry and reusable bag parts.

Yep...i use to get sterile h2o from pharmacy then they said they could no
longer do it so was getting it online. Then they said they couldn't so I
had no choice...thought, u know, if my cath is clogged, we don't take the
time to use sterile h2o, so, lets try it. Have been using tap h2o & vinegar
everyday...no problems & clear cath.

Eric - tap water? Our water has all sorts of "stuff" in it. I only use
sterile water & only when I have started passing clots.
what is wrong with distilled water? about 70 cents a gallon.
