I never heard of using an acid-base solution use in the bladder for 10
minute. I take vitamin C 500mg 2 times a day. I rinse out my cathete bag with
house hold cleaner. Two part cleaner to two part water. I too use alcohol wipes
when changing over from one catheter bag to another. It seem to reduce
infections for me too. But I think everyones body is not the same. So what
works for someone maybe doesn't work for other. The best why is to know your
body.

I'm 16 1/2 post injury and six months after my accident my urologist strongly
suggests that that I get supra and has been rock solid for the most part every
since then! The only reasons that I might have got a UTI is not drinking enough
water or due to other illness. One thing I have not heard discussed before is
getting your catheter flushed out on a regular basis now to my old school
urologist he strongly recommend that this using an acid-base solution retained
in the bladder for about 10 minutes. Also nobody has mentioned any proud flesh
around the catheter site is very common with this type of catheter and use
silver nitrate to reduce it.I am 3/4 complete level injury and have been doing
this 16 years can't be going wrong. Besides my current urologists is a cancer
research type of individual and likes to take a scope about everyone a half
years to make sure everything is checking out on the good side. Yes state
insurance money covers all this, having
individuals using alcohol wipes when changing over from one bank to another is
another way to reduce infections
