Where do you buy them?

Medical, incapacitated, or older type folk, shop.

Get some samples and perhaps a rubber band.

Medical supply store.

PS - be sure to buy at least one of the giant 46mm catheters for your save-a-dive kit. That way when someone on the boat says "Damn, I forgot a condom cath!" you can say "Here ya go dude, I've got an extra."

The look on their face when they come out of the head is priceless. And they never look at you the same way again!

Thanks for asking the question that I was thinking about asking.

This is interesting. As a former medical professional I have catheterized many patients both male and female but never used a "texas catheter" which is apparently what I will be using for myself for the P-Valve.

Now for the most interesting part.........What size. LOL I will go to the local medical supply house and ask them if I can try them on. I suppose I now have a reason to measure my member. LOL this is funny. Do they make XXXsm?

WideBand, External Catheters

At $1.58 each. I will probably just buy 1 of each size and figure out where I fit in. Punny.

A very humorous and informative discussion!

If you contact Rochester Medical or other manufacturers, they will send you out a free sample kit which will contain a couple samples of different sizes, a sizing tool, instructions for use and a list of places to buy them.

Funny, when I had my P-Valve installed I was picking my suit up and had to buy a supply of caths. As luck would have it there were several women customers and instructors hanging out. So the dive shop owner asks - very loudly - what size I needed.

:shocked2:

He was kind enough, however, to then point to the different sizes and as he pointed to small say "Medium", point to medium and say "Large" etc.
