My supra-pubic only clogs when I have a UI.  I have been fortunate to get
the 24 French I've learned. Mine needs changing in 6 weeks. Daily catheter
is wiped with sterile water or alcohol.  Surrounding skin is washed with
sterile water covered with anti-biotic ointment.

how often do you guys change your catheters? I have a supra pubic and
I always have a lot of sludge running through my catheter and
consequently it plugs up. I can barely go two weeks without it
plugging. I'm using an 18 French. What is the process of increasing up to a
20?
