I tried it John, but unfortunately I was allergic to it and therefore unable to tell if it was effective. I am also allergic to silicone, so go figure. Quadius On 2/18/08, John S.

RE: [QUAD-L] Supra-Pubic Sizes
I've tried many kinds. The Silicon ones are too stiff and made me sweat. I use the Silver Coated ones now. They cost more, but my insurance covers them. I think they work, it's hard to tell, because I've made many changes at the same time. Greg _ Has anyone tried the anti bacterial catheters? Do they really reduce the number of UTI's
Re: [QUAD-L] Supra-Pubic Sizes
Dan,
the 24 is bigger so it won't clog as easy and the silicone is better for me
cause i found i was allergic to the latex, also it seems easier to irrigate
when you need to, but it is stiffer than the latex one. Ive had less utis since.
