Flushing your Suprapubic Catheter
I made this video to show what I do to flush my catheter. I have a Suprapubic catheter that I have had for about 10 years now and over the years I have found a few things to help with my bladder health.

I will be making more videos on catheter and bladder health so please check back for more videos.

The first is a Heavy Hitters vape pen that are sold with pre filled cartridges at most medical dispensaries.. at least here in CA. The second pen is a PuffCo and it hits awesome! It is harder to load for us quads but once its filled it is a great hitting pen.
