[QUAD-L] Catheters

[Dan]

I have a question for you all. Since so many of us get UTIs with 
supra pubics and folley's, why don't they make catheters with a broad 
spectrum slow release antibiotic on the tip of the catheter. I would 
think that this would, if not kill, then at least keep at bay any 
bacteria that might be in the bladder. This way at least you are not 
exposing your whole body to the effects of the antibiotics. Kind of 
like the idea or of a baclofen pump. I know people have good luck 
with the silver tipped catheters but would not this go a step 
further? What do you guys think?
