Close To Incontinence With A Catheter

[InD]

I did come up with an interesting design idea the other day.

Just saw this on the web...

And I don't recommend this either...

Somehow, it's so difficult to leave this idea alone - and finally I think I've really got somewhere.

[Fakename4me]

Interesting.

[nappyboymids]

Once it's cured the adhesion is very strong - it really needs a lot of effort to peel off.

[diapertime42]

ok... where do you get "Scooby string"??

Thanks, nappyboymids.

The suguru isn't the loops, it's the bulges in the larger tube.

[nappyboymids]

@fakename - don't worry, I'll be careful!

[hg25baby]

@nappyboymids thank you so much for all the info

Can you post a video how you make it and use it?

[diapertime42]

this is one intermit cath no balloon and two bic pen caps cut to measure desired width start with the business end and find desired length I have used this stent for years and gives you full bladder leakage little spurts and dribbles and completely indwelling... Please be careful kids

Before a possible return of worriers stating the obvious, the methods mentioned in this thread are not medically approved nor has anyone claimed them to be. If you follow along you are on your own completely

[Baby Brian]

Definitely do be careful. Though I would love to use something like this I simply refuse to trust the surgru again. Frankenmane4me beat me to it but I will repeat. I tried the sugru and let it cure as the instructions said. My modified catheter worked for a day or two but then it came loose (ouch). I personally will not be trying that again.

It looks like we lost a post here from Abvegas.

Careful heating and expanding the tube should deal with the required larger diameter. This could be achieved by either pressurising the tube or pushing it together around the heated area.

Depending on the tube's material, careful heating also takes care of any rough edges.

[Creepymouse]

I can't see any reason why a good prototype quite like the recently-posted designs couldn't be made with platinum silicone. High quality platinum silicone should be undeniably safe and virtually indestructible. I'm tempted to do it myself, but I don't currently have the proper space to work in. Silicone in the carpet or somesuch would really suck.

I love Bettypooh's idea. Shape it to have just the right bulb.

The material should be a thermoplastic. One such material is PVC. Bars manufactures utinary catheters made from PVC. Maybe one of these could be adopted and heat shaped as needed?

[Bettypooh]

Be careful heating PVC's as that releases the chloride from the composition. I know it is an inhaling/ingesting danger but not sure about any topical dangers, nor have I a clue as to what levels the chlorides would become toxic. As I understand it, the mixtures vary for different PCV's so each begins to degrade at a different temp.

[Dill_Pickle]

The problem with chloride is going to be the vapors...not all of which give good warning of their toxicity. For example, the classic deadly mixture of chlorine and ammonia produces chloramines, which do all kinds of lung damage, but do it painlessly, so a person loses the ability to breathe without knowing it is happening until it is too late.

So, put pvc to lame do it under a stove hood if you have one, or outside. Maybe try other methods of heating instead, like boiling water or an oil bath, like in a cheap electric deep fryer, with a thermometer to check the temperature. You don't want hot oil around a regular stove, not whEn you are fooling with it...turn off the burner for that.

Hot oil on plastic is most likely to soften it permanently, because the oil will dissolve into the structure and function as plasticiser.
