Urinary Catheter With Bag

A urinary catheter system, comprising:

• a catheter comprising:
• a catheter tube defining a catheter lumen extending between a distal end and a proximal end of the catheter, the catheter tube configured for insertion into a bladder of a user;
• an outlet hub coupled with the catheter tube at the proximal end, the outlet hub defining a handle configured for manipulation of the catheter during use;
• and
• an inlet collar disposed at the distal end;
• and
• a collection bag comprising an inlet hub defining an opening of the collection bag, wherein:
• the inlet hub is coupled with the outlet hub at a side port of the outlet hub to define a fluid flow path between the catheter lumen and an interior of the collection bag, and
• the inlet collar is coupled with the outlet hub to define a pre-use packaging state.

A method for draining urine from a bladder of a user, comprising:

• providing a catheter system, comprising:
• a catheter coupled with a collection bag, the catheter including a catheter tube defining a catheter lumen, wherein:
• the catheter includes an outlet hub at a proximal end of the catheter and the collection bag includes an inlet hub, the outlet hub coupled with the inlet hub such that the catheter lumen is in fluid communication with an interior of the collection bag;
• the catheter is attached to the collection bag via a tether;
• and
• the outlet hub is attached to an inlet collar of the catheter, the inlet collar disposed at distal end of the catheter;
• detaching the outlet hub from the inlet collar;
• advancing the catheter tube along a urethra to the bladder of the user to access urine within the bladder;
• draining the urine from the bladder, the urine flowing along the lumen of the catheter into the interior of the collection bag;
• detaching the tether from the catheter;
• separating the inlet hub from the outlet hub;
• and
• draining the urine from the interior of the collection bag.
