I'm a c-5 quadriplegic (I can move my arms but I'm paralyzed from the shoulders down). I have a supra-pubic tube (essentially a permanent catheter that enters my bladder through a whole in my stomach). I tried on the tandem harness on Friday. The strap that runs across the stomach, connecting the two straps that run over the thighs and hips on either side, rests directly on my supra-pubic tube site. I'm afraid that the force or friction from the jump will catch the tube, pulling on it or in the worst case, actually pulling out the entire foley. I'm trying to figure out a way to protect the catheter. Has anyone run into a similar situation. I've thought about covering the catheter site with some kind of pad to protect against friction. Any specific recommendations or suggestions? Thank you
