Urinary catheter assembly having a sleeve attached between a connector and a handle

A urinary catheter assembly comprising:

• an intermittent urinary catheter having a distal end portion located opposite from an insertion tip formed on a proximal end portion of the intermittent urinary catheter, with an exterior surface of the intermittent urinary catheter including a hydrophilic coating;
• a handle disposed in a sliding relationship to the intermittent urinary catheter;
• a connector coupled to the distal end portion of the intermittent urinary catheter;
• and
• a sleeve attached to and extending between the handle and the connector;
• wherein the connector is configured to be removably attached to the handle to define a cavity formed by the handle and the connector and the sleeve, where the cavity is configured to enclose an entirety of the intermittent urinary catheter;
• a liquid inside the cavity, and the liquid is adapted to hydrate the hydrophilic coating to provide the exterior surface of the intermittent urinary with a lubricious surface;
• wherein the connector has a drain, and the drain is formed by an outer wall of the connector separated from an inner wall of the connector by a channel, and the liquid inside the cavity is adapted to flow out of the cavity through the channel when the connector is detached from the handle.
