@jackpine , The cath I use is made by Convatec Limited. The first address I have is First Avenue, Deeside Industrial Park, Deeside, Flintshire, CH5, 2NU, UK, I guess. I also have an address as Unomedical, A/S` Aaholmvej 1-3, Osted, 4320 LEJRE DENFARK. So I guess they may be Danish. Manufactured for Convatec Inc, Greensboro NC 27409 USA. The cath is called the "GC-Glide Hydrophilic Intermittent Urinary Catheter. I get mine from 180 Medical.com. As I said, I use about 6-7 per day, around 200/month. The 180 people are very regular and accurate. There are 30 in a box, and I use the Male CH14. Yes, it is a lot of blood, but I also use North Shore large pads because they handle both the fecal leakage and penile bleeding. And I use an extra disposable pad under me at night. I get that at Walmart or Amazon. "GC" is a trade mark of Unomedical a/s. My trouble is that all my internals are infested with protein fibrils from Gelsolin, plus Fukutin Limb Girdle Muscular Dystrophy Type 4. But when I have to spend time in the hospital or similar, I have to take my own catheters with me because the hospital only provides the indwelling stuff that I do not want to start. I don't have much longer to go, anyway, so I might as well be as comfortable as I can. And all we have around here are first-aid stations within 100 miles.
