I use 10 cc's of natural saline. I daily apply triple action antibiotic gel, but when the SP is first installed it will generally leak for a few days. The type used is a 24 French. Mine was a headache for several days. I even thought it was a mistake but it was worth it.

I used to have a problem with the SP leaking if I put in 5 cc, but I now put in anywhere from eight to 10 cc. What type of catheter are you using, i.e. silicone or latex?

I get mine changed every month the only problems I really have with mine is it leaks some but when I get it changed it hurts some because my body heals so fast that it tries to heal itself around the catheter and I get alot of calcium built up around the end of it. But I am glad I did it the UTI's are alot less. And it is great to have that area down below free... I hope it all goes well with yours... Gina
