Catheter Insertion with a wire

For many of us it's fun to pass a Foley catheter and it's fun to pass a sound. Here's a video that combines the two. He inserts a wire in the catheter and bends it in the classic "J" shape, then passes it into the penis like a sound. After inflating the balloon, he pulls the wire, and it's a normal Foley catheter. Before I would try this for real on myself I'd have to experiment with the correct size and type of wire that would stand up to the insertion, yet be flexible enough to remove leaving the rubber tube.

Your link shows a Van Buren sound insertion.

THAT GUY WAS SO ROUGH IT IS RIDICULOUS/MALPRACTICE.

HIS INSERTION WAS SO JERKY HE WOULD PUNCTURE THE URETHRA.

YOU KNOW WHY THE PENIS WASN'T GUSHING BLOOD???

.

THAT'S A CADAVER

.

PLEASE DO NOT DO THIS AS HE DESCRIBES.

I wouldn't let that guy get within a mile of my husband.

Oh Jesus, Susie's right. Do not try this at home kids. That is a cadaver.

I had a recent sounding scare myself and was very gentle with my body. I spurted blood as a result, but if I did anything close to that video I would have gushed blood and I think might be dead, just like that corpse in the video. I have no response other than, ...WTF?!

Wrong link That video is scary enough

This is the real link about the foley catheter and wire

My Urologist has inserted a Foley with the wire technique, it was no big deal, at that time it was a 22fr 30cc, and sent me home.

With a wire?, I had this done a couple of time but never with a wire. Its the first time I've even heard about such a thing. For those of you who have had it, did it hurt how did it feel?.

@susie: Regarding the video on the Van Buren Sound. The only difference between a conventional insertion and his is that he starts with the handle pointing toward the feet and not toward the head. I have & use an antique steel 20 Fr catheter, shaped like a Van Buren sound, with a 4" radius curve. My technique is to (1) start with the curved part of the catheter vertical and the the straight part parallel to the abdomen pointing toward the head. (2) I pull my penis over the end of the catheter, then push the curved part of the catheter down the urethra until it starts to the point where the urethra bends upward toward the bladder. This is the same point where a straight probe usually stops. (3) At this point the straight part is still parallel to my abdomen. Lifting up the straight part perpendicular to the abdomen will cause the curved part to continue into the urethral bend and into the bladder as the straight part is moved toward the feet.

In the video, the surgeon starts with the straight part pointed to the feet, threads it over the penis and pushes it to the same end of the straight urethra. When he turns the straight part toward the head, he winds up in the same location and position as in my (3) above. Then he lifts it and inserts it into the bladder.

I tried his technique, and it actually works, although I did it a lot slower and more gently. The delicate part is keeping the end of the sound/catheter in the right place during the initial insertion and the rotation of the external part of the sound. I found that gentle pressure downward during rotation keeps it in place The flexible lubricated penile urethra will not be harmed by the rotation. Now when the handle it pointing toward the head, lifting handle will move the end into the curve of the urethra into the bladder.

@Dr.J, didn't feel any different to me then a normal Foley insertion, when you have strictures that are difficult they will use these. (Foley wire technique)
