If it is important to you, you may have to buy it. You could contact your Medicaid rep or facilitator or whatever they call them there and ask about changing monthly supply providers. Check around with other providers. I bet they will try to get you what you want, and need.

I was receiving my supplies through Drug Mart pd by Medicaid. The bags were all Bard. Now, Medicaid isn't paying for Bard, instead switched to Reliamed. They don't make a bulb syringe to fit their bags for flushing everyday. The Bard bulb is too big. The woman from Drug Mart suggested I use tapwater. I called Reliamed. He informed me...they don't. He said the Bulb syringe was for folies and wounds. ( haven't flushed my foley in yrs) He said they have an *Appliance cleaner syringe* that would only be able to put a few drops in at a time and could not tell me what was in the solution. And that I wouldn't need to buy my distilled water & distilled vinegar. And that I would be safe anyway as the solution cannot get to the foley! What comes out, can be forced back up the foley. After all this ignorance and foolish entertainment, I still need a bulb syringe. Dianna (Ohio) ________________________________ Great Deals on Dell 15" Laptops - Starting at $479
