Dan,
the 24 is bigger so it won't clog as easy and the silicone is better for me
cause i found i was allergic to the latex, also it seems easier to irrigate
when you need to, but it is stiffer than the latex one. Ive had less utis since.

Gina, did the 24 french help reduce your UTI"S or using the Silicone??? I
have never tried silicone, only the latex but I have pretty much UTI trouble.
Thanks, Dan

Hi, I use a 24 french supra pubic too my urologist picked it because I had so

at all..

!4! I use the 24 French also but I am having a talk soon. The 14 Fr doesnt
leek or clog? Do most people change this monthly?
With the condom cath I had UTIs near bi-monthly. Since the SP I had one in
the year since having the SP.

the Fr stands for French and is in millimeters which, in reality means
'circumference' as opposed to the way we Americans usually measure such things
by diameter. therefore 21 Fr = 7mm diameter (=0.27 inches).

higher the smallest?

14 french. They are not supposed to hurt. I would get on your urologists
case about this.

At 09:26 PM 2/16/2008 -0800, Merrill Burghardt said something that elicited my
response:
. What size Supra Pubic do people use? I realize this may come off as a
personnel question Mine still bleeds and hurts bad post April and I started to
wonder.
