Abstract
A kit for preparing a medical catheter from catheter sections comprises a tubular protective member surrounding a first, proximal one of the catheter sections. The kit further comprises a joint for interconnecting the catheter sections, the joint defining a substantially liquid tight seal at one end of a substantially annular and longitudinally extending cavity provided between the proximal end portion of the first catheter section and an inner wall of the tubular protective member. Following removal of the tubular protective member, one of the catheter sections is exposed and ready for insertion into the urethra.
Claims11
A urinary catheter kit comprising:
- a distal catheter section having an outlet at a distal end and a fastening mechanism disposed proximate to a proximal end;
- a lubricated proximal catheter section including an inlet proximate a proximal end and fixedly coupled with the distal catheter section so that a distal end of the proximal catheter section is coupled with the proximal end of the distal catheter section;
- a conduit forming a fluid passageway from the inlet to the outlet;
- a tubular member configured to enclose the lubricated proximal catheter section and including an attachment mechanism disposed at a distal end of the tubular member configured to releasably and sealingly engage the fastening mechanism to provide an enclosure around the lubricated proximal catheter section that is proximal to the fastening mechanism when the attachment mechanism is engaged with the fastening mechanism, wherein the fastening mechanism includes a rib disposed around a circumference of the distal catheter section.
