Hi has anyone in the Uk been able to source Marlen catheters? The website I ordered from is not delivering internationally anymore and I'm down to my last one. The medina is available and necessary at times but I only use it occasionally as it gets caught and stuck causing too much trauma to the valve and because I'm taped in a lot the marlen is much more gentle and easier to use. Amy info would be appreciated. Thanks Maisy

Good to see you are still K-Pouching it Wendy! Not a day goes by that I don't wish John would have converted my failed J-Pouch as was planned before the baggage from my past talked him out of it..... I hold on to the hope one day I'll get over to the US and get a BCIR done..Pretty lofty goal really, but good to keep positive. I hope you are well in all areas of life!

 I don't have any suggestions for a supplier here in the United States that would ship internationally. However I am wondering if your hospital system wouldn't be able to order them for you. just a thought. You may have already tried this route, so to speak. Next time I'm on a medical site I'll check for international shipping. Good luck, Janet

I did a google search on 'Marlen catheters shipped internationally'.  I then went to one of the hits: http://www.stomabags.com/conti...tomy/ostomy-catheter.  (http://www.stomabags.com/marle...dium-curved-catheter I hope this is the catheter you're looking for.) I then went to their contact page: http://www.stomabags.com/contacts. On the bottom of that page is this image:

Hopefully that means what it says. So maybe you can try them? Good luck. I hope it works out. Mary

Hi Wendy,

Glad to hear you're going so well!! Lived in the Northern Rivers area for a while way back and still miss it. Not quite as south as where you are. I only ever heard positives about the Armidale and surrounding areas but never got a chance to visit there.

Me.....will tell you another time.

In relation to your cath question. I ordered a whole lot of stuff in preparation for the K-Pouch operation that was cancelled. It was a US business that shipped to Oz, and I found them great communication wise. It has been 4 years though, so, I don't know if they are still in business, or if the place I'm thinking of was definitely the place I'm thinking of. I will get back to you.
