We just unblocked a cat, before I chucked the slippery sam in the bin I pulled the two parts of it - and I saw why they aren't meant to be indwelling! It took very little pulling to break it off.

Hi,

Millpledge have a complete 1 or 2 litre closed urine collection system. It has a 360 degree swivel in the collection line to prevent the line tangling. It also has a luer lock attachment and foley attachment so will fit all urinary catheters. The slide valve at the bottom of the bag means it is easy to empty aseptically too.
this is the link to the drainage bag: http://www.millpledge.com/urine-collection-c2x20263902

Also, agree with comments on slippery sam catheters, they aren’t designed to be left indwelling as the base and catheter are separate components and can come apart.

Pioneer have some really affordable closed collection systems which look like they're compatible with most catheters!

As above, almost 100% sure that Slippery Sam not meant to be indwelling (I seem to remember after cases of the silicon becoming detached from the 'luer' fiting and getting lost up the urethra)

Slippery Sam aren't meant to be indwelling I don't think? But you can just attach a drainage system, can either buy as whole systems or the cheap way is to use an empty drip bag with admin set!
