Abstract
A device and a related method for urinary catheterisation is provided. The device comprises a catheter having an elongate body provided with a distal tip, a proximal end and one or more channels extending therethrough. A guidewire for guiding the catheter upon insertion extends through one of said one or more channels. In addition, there is a lubrication port at or towards the proximal end of the elongate body for introduction of a guidewire lubrication fluid into the channel having the guidewire extending therethrough. Also provided is a device and related method for urinary stricture dilatation, as well as kits for urinary catheterisation and urinary stricture dilatation.

A method of urinary catheterisation, comprising:
- lubricating a guidewire located in a channel extending through a catheter, the catheter having an elongate body provided with a distal tip, a proximal end and one or more channels extending therethrough, and the guidewire having a distal tip and a proximal end;
- inserting the distal tip of the guidewire into the urethra and navigating the guidewire along the urethra and into the bladder;
- advancing the catheter over the guidewire until the distal tip of the catheter is located in the bladder;
- and
- removing the guidewire from the urethra and the catheter.
