I’m in Tokyo. Planned out how many catheters I would need for the visit but now concerned whether I’ve brought enough.
is there a supplier who would deliver to me tomorrow (Monday) or Tuesday?

Hi,
I talked to a friend in the care field and she said most people get them from their medical supplier and they are not commonly found in stores. You could sign up for Amazon Japan (you can set the language to English) and possibly buy some online to be delivered to your hotel (ask if it is ok first).
There are a few stores you can go to. What part of Tokyo are you in? I can try to find one in the general area. But ask your hotel to call first. They may not have them in stock etc.
by the way, the word catheter is カテーテル (“Kate-teru”) in Japanese.

@Josh Grisdale hi. I am in Shinjuku. Google doesn’t show any suppliers of these. Coloplast doesn’t have them on their site. There is another type … are they available?

@mishahu How long will you be there?
You may want to try a hospital…

Josh this is really good information- was just thinking about unexpected needs like this. Thanks!

@oshidori Can you maybe comment on this? I think Mami-san is a nurse, right?

@Josh Grisdale same as your comment, ask around in stores or talk to doctor, or get it from Amazon.
lf he can not do that by himself then ask someone to do that for him.
