[QUAD-L] SP catheter

Is it possible to change the size of a catheter to a smaller size without it leaking? When I had my supra pupic put in about a year ago a size 20 French was used. Ever since, I've been experiencing pretty bad dysreflexia. Looking into a different kind of catheter called a "duette." Unfortunately

[QUAD-L] hoyer lifts

On the subject of Hoyer lifts... Got my first one about a week ago. I know the sling I got with it isn't going to work because I'd have to sit on it while in my chair. Before buying a sling that I think will work I decided to give it a try. When I'm in the sling, I can't turn facing the hydraul

Re: [QUAD-L] permobil

I got a permobil m300 last december, it's been good so far. Seems to be more heavy duty than previous chairs, but that also means more weight. Gel filled tires, no flats. The back cushion is comfortable. Controls for the seating system could be a little more quad friendly. On Fri, Jul 19, 201
