Hospital sent me home with an extra stat lock. However, I bought from Amazon a Velcro stat lock instead of the hospital provided glue one. I used isopropyl alcohol to clean the bag (externally) and I did not swap out bags and alcohol wipes to clean the Foley catheter that connects to the bag. Used lidocaine on the tip to avoid any uneasy feeling where catheter came out of the body. These all worked well for me. I drank a lot of water every day (like four 20 oz glass of water) until catheter came out.
