Hi All, I'm new here so I hope you can help. Just a quick question. Can I use a suction catheter to drain my bladder with the same diameter Fr14 as a normal intermittent catheter. It's just that sourcing suction catheters is much easier and cheaper that the normal intermittent catheters. If there is a big difference between the suction and normal catheter I'll opt for the intermittent one. I'm new to this as had to spend time in hospital with a particularly nasty kidney infection which arose from residual urine in bladder - for some reason; but am told that they will be doing urodynamic testing in new year. Thanks for you help.
