A catheter assembly comprises a catheter, with a proximal end for insertion into the body and a distal end, and a housing. The housing comprises a base and a body rotatable with respect to one another to define a first configuration and a second configuration of the housing. In the first configuration the housing prevents passage of the proximal end of the catheter therethrough. In the second configuration the housing permits passage of the proximal end of the catheter therethrough. Preferably, the base and body comprise apertures to allow passage of the catheter therethrough. The apertures are preferably formed by tubes. Preferably, the apertures/tubes are misaligned in the first configuration and aligned in the second configuration. Preferably, the housing comprises a rotation guide to restrict linear movement of the base with respect to the body during rotation of the base with respect to the body.
A catheter assembly comprising:
A method of opening a housing containing a catheter, wherein the housing comprises a base and a body, the base and body are rotatable with respect to one another to define a first configuration and a second configuration of the housing, wherein in the first configuration the housing prevents passage of the proximal end of the catheter therethrough and in the second configuration the housing permits passage of the proximal end of the catheter therethrough, the method comprising providing the housing in the first configuration and moving the housing from the first configuration to the second configuration.
