I don’t recommend Rochester/Bard Wideband adhesive catheters any more. I've used them for more than 10 years and was very happy with them up until about 2 years ago. They’ve apparently changed the adhesive formula since then, and the quality has become inconsistent. One month I’ll get a batch that adheres properly (by that I mean they last at least a full 24 hours without coming loose), and the next month they start coming loose after a few hours. I’m active and don’t need the worry of wondering if I’ll have an accident while I’m out somewhere. I’ve reported the problem to Bard but they are unresponsive. It’ a shame as these used to be a great product. There are several articles about the problems with these on the CareCure forums. I’m in the process of testing alternatives, e.g. Hollister InView Extra, Coloplast freedom Clear Long Seal.
