I shall double check when Im at work but I don't think they are Surgivet. I might be wrong because we rarely use them atm

Hi Lacey, Is there a brand called Foley's or were you referring to the Surgivet ones?

Thanks for the suggestion Steph, I'll give those guide wires a try.

we are using the surgivet foley catheters but using the guide wires available from ACE vet supplies make sure you lube them up before putting them into the foley but they come out so much easier than the surgivet own brand ones (oh and they are a hell of a lot cheaper!!!!)

I know we are struggling for a good brand which are expensive. Anyone have any suggestions we tend to only use standard dig catheters and tom cat ones

Iv'e always used Foleys and not had so much of a problem really .They seem to do the job and are generally fairly simple to place :)

Id not had the problems you've seen with them
