I don't know about external catheters, but I do have some
experience with different skin adhesives.  I have an ileostomy and
have used several differnt adhesives.  I have used the following
with good results: Skin Prep, Tincture of Benzion, IV skin prep,
and there is a waterproof tape, I can't remember the name but it's
sort of flesh toned and waterproof.  It costs about $6.00 for a
roll.  I found it very useful.  Also Hollister makes a cream, its
in a big plastic tube and its the consistency of an oitment and I
swear it worked miracles on healing an excoration I had aroung the
stoma.  As a side note, I used the cream on my dog when she keep
biting herself from dry skin irritation.  All the redness was gone
the next morning.  I'm sorry I can't remember the name but the tube
is white w/red lettering.  I hope this helps some.
