loop? excuse me? how do you get a loop? A LARGE X? tape? Eric W Rudd [email protected] ----- Original Message ----- From: [email protected] To: [email protected] ; [email protected] Sent: Tuesday, January 25, 2011 9:47 PM Subject: Re: [QUAD-L] Looking for advise
Excellent Advice Eric. (but you always do....) I wish to add that once the cath is fully inserted, one complete loop should be added on the outside of the penis before taping the tube for the leg bag or collector..... to the high side of your leg. A LARGE X pattern with wide medical tape will help considerably. Best Wishes In a message dated 1/25/2011 7:09:29 P.M.

I have an indwelling catheter. My urethra has torn a little and is giving me discomfort. I really don’t know what to do to help it so it doesn’t get worse and quits causing me so much more discomfort. Do you have any suggestions?
