Notes on Condom Catheters

I am using Conveen brand (Coloplast). You need to ask a nurse or the urologist for the correct size. This condom catheter has to be replace every 24 hours but you could reuse the leg bag and night bag.
They come in 3 sizes, details can be checked from the website or youtube how to wear them.

I think you can use a catheter as long as you wish, as many times as you want. The doctor will advise you on best measures.

Stick with the last sentence if that reply. No catheter, condom or internal should be use as long as you wish, as many times as you like. That is unless you have a thing for skin breakdown , infections of the skin, bladder and potentially the kidneys. There are some products made to help condom catheters not to leak, was well as using the right size is important. They are adhesive type wipes that a doctor or skin care nurse will show you and tell you how long you can use them and very important to take off when they advise . that is not an area that you want infected and raw.

Just be careful when using the device, and make sure everything is connected properly.
