I understand. It's just a matter of finding them. I got them a few times when
I had a homehealth nurse coming in but since my sore is finally gone (woohoo),
I don't need them to come anymore. I get legbags from appledrug and that is
the only pharmacy in my area that carries medical supplies such as catheters,
leg bags, etc.

They have nice cheap 8 oz. bags with lines that have metal clips shutting them.
You remove the line from the bottom and simply attach a short length of yellow
foam line to the bag where the nasty green line was.
You attach your regular bed bag or leg bag to the drain end of the small bag. I
have to get a cam and make a video. I've never had trouble connecting bags to
bags.
Let me know if that is any help?
best wishes,
john

How do you attatch your leg bag and bed bag? The leg bag where it empties is
either losens to empty or has a lever to pull to empty it. At least mine do.

Well that is easy, don't worry about it!
Yea Dan, used them all but I don't have an indwelling catheter. Whoever is
doing your personal care must scrub and use "sterile" gloves when changing your
cath. If they have kids or love houseplants, they need dipped in liquid
sterilizer. If you can keep your bladder acidic then you should be able to ask
your doc about using Mandelamine. Great anti infective but doctors are afraid
patients won't keep their urine acid.
I'll suggest this again and you can ignore me. Get a very small leg bag and
keep it attached to your indwelling catheter. Attach your leg bag and bed bag
to it. It adds an anti backflow barrier at the usual point of infection. Handy
for seeing if your urine is starting to look bad or to get samples for tests.
All my best,
john

Hello Gang, I was wondering how many use these products --- (1) D Mannose--
(2) Vitamin C--- (3) Cranberry Pills -- (4) Collodial Silver -- (5) Apple Cider
Vinegar ???? I get UTI 's all the Time and the only One of these I have not
Tried is >> Collodial Silver. { I stay faithfull on the cranberry and vitamin C
} but never go long without bad UTI trouble. I have a Supra-Pubic Catheter
and doctors say there will always be infection trouble, But don't some of you
with indwelling Catheters go long periods between serious UTI infections???
It's hard to be able to live in pain but always worry about infection killing
you.
Thanks All!!
