I was wondering if a short cath like one of the mods here, with the string exiting through such a 'urethral reroute' would be effective?

maybe... but i will never find out! you can count me out on that one, mouseh.

What prevents the intermittent catheter from just sliding out of the bladder when you are wearing this longer term?

Nothing... Just slips out. That was the reason for trying to press a bead into a intermittent cath to provide a stopping point to prevent the cath from just sliding out... But could still be removed when I wanted to.

Tried another experiment tonight. Tried to press a larger bead with a hole that was about the same size as the inside of a 14fr cath. Lube and such really did not do much. The bead was really too big go into the cath. So I tried a little air pressure to expand the cath and let the bead slide to wear I wanted it. Too much air too fast... went boom... And sure was loud..

wow, my mental image of that event looks a lot like a clown blowing up a long balloon tube to make a balloon animal :-) exploding catheters!
