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 configured to allow non-contaminated insertion of a catheter into a urinary canal, the catheter assembly comprising:
- a urinary catheter defining a conduit extending between a proximal end and an opposite distal end of the urinary catheter;
- a catheter package defining a cavity with the urinary catheter retained in the cavity of the catheter package, the catheter package having a removable portion that is removable to define a catheter outlet, where the urinary catheter is movable through the catheter outlet of the catheter package;
- and
- a sealing structure connected to the urinary catheter and adapted to slide relative to the catheter package to provide a substantially liquid tight seal between the catheter package and the urinary catheter when the urinary catheter is moved through the catheter outlet of the catheter package.
