kevindhca Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 Hi dlnoir, Thank you for your detailed information. Can you please explain how do you keep everything clean? How do you sterilize the stent? Sterilization for an appliance that is only used on one person is mostly unnecessary. Unless you are prone to UTI's 1 Link to comment
Loveable_guy Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 dlnoir can you offer a source for the tubing? Link to comment

Baby Brian Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 Well, unfortunately I don't have the reference to those facts (studies) Link to comment
Bettypooh Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 I'm not a doctor nor do I have any medical training in this matter, but conventional wisdom should tell everyone that you are probably best off if you follow the same practices those medical professionals do when inserting a cath. You can find those techniques and the products needed to follow them online without a prescription If you feel that you can get by doing differently then fine- it's your body to do with as you please. If you want to post the results of that here that is perfectly OK too so long as you make no claims of it being the medically accepted procedure Nobody here has done otherwise as far as I can tell. Common sense and intelligence Link to comment
keptdiapered Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 I've posted this in a couple of other places......just hope it will be useful to someone out there..... Link to comment
Bettypooh Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 Ok children, that's ENOUGH Wetman, end the open sarcasm directed at anyone else on this site. And Diaperedalways, let the Moderators decide what is appropriate instead of responding to a post that way Rule #1 here is "Don't be an ass" and we mean it. The rules are at the top of each forum- read them and don't push their limits because we don't like that. Anyone who causes a continuation of this little spat will be hearing from me in an Official capacity Back on topic and back to discussing, NOT BASHING. Link to comment

kevindhca Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 Kevin, I do not see where the link you gave says sterilization is not medically recommended- can you point that out to me? And I note that it also does not cover insertion of a cath but only external maintenance afterward. I think the topic being discussed here is more aimed at the cath or stent insertion in itself. I certainly do agree that you need to always look into things for yourself before taking any action and that it's better to check several competent sources before deciding on veracity. Bettypooh Here's a bit better quote from the same site, just a different page. Link to comment
Baby Brian Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 Huh, In my many travels I have not heard anyone recommend you re-use a catheter. This does seem quite plausible though, as I too have seen/heard a few times that when at home you only need to worry about keeping clean- not sterile. It's only when you are in a hospital that your really need to worry about being sterile since you are being exposed to bacteria from other people which your body isn't already used to. When at home, your body is used to fighting off that same bad bacteria so there is less of a chance to get an infection from it. Using soap only keeps that bacteria count down which is all your body needs, Link to comment
Fakename4me Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 And the article does refer to "Clean Intermittent Self-Catheterization for Men". Link to comment
cathdiap Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 I believe it also helps to insert the stent when the bladder is full. Urine of a healthy person is an almost sterile fluid. After insertion the pee will rinse the urethra and force Link to comment
Loveable_guy Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 I have been soaking Link to comment
Paul in Nappies Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 I have been reading the posts on the making and use of a stent to open the bladder. Link to comment
sandiaper Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 (edited) Now I 'm working on a stent to print through a 3D printer. The material would be flexible. I do not know the measurements of a stent. If someone could help me with the measures could send the 3D model. This is my prototype (measures in mm, suggestions are welcome ) : Edited September 22, 2015 by sandiaper Link to comment

delta1 Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 Then, do you have any suggestions for a safe stent? Link to comment
