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.
Claims16
A kit for preparing a catheter for draining a human bladder, the kit comprising a first catheter section and a second catheter section, the first catheter section being a proximal catheter section, the first and second catheter sections defining a longitudinally extending passage therein, the first and second catheter sections being arranged in a coextending fashion with a tubular protective member removably surrounding the first catheter section and removably insertable into the second catheter section, the kit further comprising a joint for interconnecting the first and the second catheter sections, the tubular protective member being removably connected to the joint and removable from the second catheter section so that when the tubular protective member is disconnected from the joint, a proximal end portion of the first catheter section is exposed for insertion into a human urethra.
