“I WOULD CHANGE TO THE FLUME® CATHETER IN A HEARTBEAT!”

Meet Jay C. , husband, father, retired hardware and software designer, and passionate and published patient advocate.

Jay is a prostate cancer survivor who suffers from retention that requires intermittent catheterization. He also has Nocturia and undergoes periodic Botox injections to avoid catheterizing multiple times during the night.

As the effects of his earlier Botox injection wear off, Jay switches to an indwelling urinary catheter for 7-10 days before his next injection and afterwards while his bladder settles down.

Having tried the FLUME catheter pre- and post-Botox, Jay shared, “My first impression with the FLUME catheter was utter surprise! I literally had no sense that the catheter was there. There was no urgency, no spasms, no nothing! I would urge anyone who wears indwelling catheters with any frequency to opt for this device.”

LIFE IS GOOD WITH THE FLUME® CATHETER!

Meet Jalessa S.

I was first introduced to the FLUME catheter during a Botox session. My urologist noticed that I had a “hickey” on the inside of my bladder, where the catheter was digging into my bladder wall. He told me about the Flume catheter and said it might solve that problem. I was happy to try it.

Before a Botox session, and usually after the sessions, I would experience leaking and some other issues for a few days with my traditional Foley catheter. I’d also have pain and spasms.

During my three weeks of FLUME catheter wear, I experienced no leaking, no bloody urine, or blood clots in my urine from the catheter hitting my bladder wall. I had no pain or spasms. I also didn’t experience any type of clogging from settlement. Life was what it was supposed to be—easy!

As a paraplegic, you get accustomed to issue after issue. After experiencing the FLUME catheter and not having to worry about embarrassing leaking, daily catheter irrigation, clogged catheters or other daily issues, life was good! I look forward to continuing with the catheter.

I hope that other catheter wearers can experience what I have because I’m here to tell you that life can be much easier with the FLUME catheter!!!

I WANT TO MAXIMIZE THE TIME I HAVE LEFT VS. WORRY ABOUT CATHETER PROBLEMS.

Meet Tom, a recently retired carpenter, husband, father and outdoor enthusiast. Tom has Stage 4 prostate cancer, but his focus is on enjoying life to its fullest.

Following his cancer treatments, Tom needed an indwelling suprapubic catheter. He tried many, but the catheter tips were constantly poking into his bladder and causing significant pain and spasms.

Then Tom discovered the FLUME catheter. “It was a game changer! With the FLUME catheter, I no longer feel that poking sensation in my bladder. My bladder spasms have completely disappeared. In fact, I hardly notice my catheter at all.”

“The Flume catheter has been a huge relief compared to other catheters I’ve used over the years. It's made managing my suprapubic catheter much more comfortable and manageable.⁣
This design helps reduce irritation inside my bladder during the entire time it’s in place. As a high-level quadriplegic, that's incredibly important since I'm sitting for long periods in my wheelchair.⁣
⁣
For anyone who needs a catheter that’s gentle but effective, this is definitely one I would recommend!”⁣

A catheter shouldn’t cramp your lifestyle or your bladder

See what customers are saying about how the FLUME® catheter allowed them to resume activities they were forced to scale back on with traditional catheters.

Do you or loved ones suffer from debilitating urinary catheter pain and/or leakage? If so, read this story.

"THE FLUME CATHETER GAVE ME MY LIFE BACK!"

"I felt like a shut-in with the Foley catheter. I was embarrassed to go out in public for fear of leakage, and I couldn't even walk without pain.

Since I started using the FLUME catheter, I’ve had virtually no leakage. My spasms have all but disappeared. If they do occur, they are nowhere as intense.

Most importantly, the FLUME catheter has allowed me to get back out, rejoin my walking club and enjoy life, again!"
