Abstract
A catheter assembly allowing for non-contaminated insertion of the catheter into the urinary canal. The catheter assembly includes a urinary catheter, a catheter package and a sealing member. The urinary catheter defines a conduit and has a proximal end adapted for insertion into the urinary canal and an opposite distal end. The catheter package has a hose with a cavity for accommodation of the catheter, and a catheter outlet adapted to dismantle the proximal end of the catheter from the catheter package. The sealing member is adapted to provide a substantially liquid-tight seal between the catheter package and the urinary catheter while the catheter is being dismantled.
Claims15
A catheter assembly allowing for non contaminated insertion of the catheter into a urinary canal, said assembly comprising:
- a urinary catheter defining a conduit and having a proximal end adapted for insertion into a urinary canal of an individual and an opposite distal end;
- a closed tubular catheter package defining a cavity, the urinary catheter retained in the cavity of the closed tubular catheter package, the closed tubular catheter package defining a catheter outlet formed in a proximal end thereof and including a cap closing the catheter outlet, the proximal end of the catheter movable through the catheter outlet of the catheter package when opened;
- and
- a sealing structure connected to the urinary catheter, the sealing structure adapted to slide relative to the tubular catheter package and provide a substantially liquid tight seal between the tubular catheter package and the urinary catheter while the catheter is being dismantled.
