A lot of my supplies are bard. if my monthly provider doesn't carry what i need I get them to order it so its drop shipped and they get a cut. All are happy.
basically, The best thing I've found is a 2 cycle motor oil syring. Fits all sizes hose and tubing. Comes apart to clean. spray some silicone in it if it gets hard to push or pull. If you use it on lines that lead back in you,, maybe a few drops of olive oil would be better. john ________________________________ From: Dan <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Wednesday, March 25, 2009 4:39:55 PM Subject: Re: [QUAD-L] Irrigation syringe Me too. I also use a short piece of rubber tubing to connect the syringe to my bag tube.

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
