Army_Baby1 Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 Ok I have thought long and hard about doing this. I know how they feel going in and when you take them out as in 91 I had a few over a 6 week time frame, but that was also in a hospital. Now that I'm wanting to go back to being AB/DL where would one be able to buy a cather, and what is a good started size. I understand there is risk to anything that we do, but controlled risk is always there. Army_Baby Link to comment
incojohn Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 The first one I bought was a 12fr 5cc bulb. Next three were 14fr 5cc bulb, then tried a 16fr 5cc. I felt that was getting a little big. You can order catheters online but most places require prescriptions, so you'll need to check the requirements before you buy. I think southwest medical carries them. I've never ordered from there so I can't vouch for them. If you've never read a cath procedure you might want to brush up on it, and always make sure to be clean. I never had any complications from them. Just make sure you're careful! Link to comment
