OK, we are to the point where frequent transfers to commode are just not possible, so hubby is trying condom catheter. I have some specific questions (stop reading now if you are offended by frank discussion of the subject.)
Some of these questions might seem stupid, but I really don't know any of this....
1. How long do you leave the condom on? All day? 2 days?
2. How do you know it is time to change the condom cath?
3.How do you turn someone in bed who has a condom cath and a bag?
4. Do you change bags every time they get urine in them or do you empty and use for longer? How long?
5. Do you leave the condom on when you put them on commode to do bowel movement?
6. Do you connect condom to bag BEFORE or AFTER you put the condom catheter on?
I have a million more questions, but let's start here .
Thanks!
Lisa
