VaPro catheters | Hollister
It was a real pleasure to use. I get the impression although it says size 14 it seems thinner and little urine came out and I cant be sure anything was left in unless I use another catheter but I dont feel like doing that now. Anyway they have come across with what I have been saying the main problem is all the time that you have to hold the limb tight it should not fall out. They have sorted this out this way. They have cap on the tip which you also insert and the cap is like a one way street that the catheter can only go in unless you pull the cap out. So you only have to hold the cap onto the limb and make sure it stays in. There is another one also having a cap which I have mentioned so it us unlikely to be patented so they all should have this. It is only a very little piece of plastic which works well.
Much simpler than holding it tight. The catheter is covered with a plastic which you push in and at the same time squash down. It would be easier if the plastic could come off at the end but there is something holding it back. It did squash down quite well. I would cut if off to start with. It went in easily and didnt hurt at all. Taking out one has to take out the cap and pull it out. I must state that one has to take out a catheter slowly otherwise I dont think any lasting damage will result but it can hurt for quite a few hours afterwards (my experience). I again tried to hold this catheter inside although unnecessary but couldnt. Views 152
