Embodiment Construction

[0035] figure 1 is a perspective view of urinary catheter assembly 10 . Catheter assembly 10 may include catheter 15 and sheath 20 . The urinary catheter 15 can be made of polyvinyl chloride (PVC), polyurethane, silicone rubber, nitrile rubber, or other suitable materials. Catheter 15 may have a polished surface. The length of the catheter can be between 15 and 55 centimeters, and its diameter can be between 15 and 70 millimeters.

[0036] In one embodiment, urinary catheter 15 may have two openings 25 , 30 at proximal end 35 and one opening 40 at distal end 45 . Any number of openings can be implemented. For example, proximal portion 35 may have 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 or more openings.

[0037] figure 2 is a close up view of the proximal end 35 of the urinary catheter 15 . The openings 25 , 30 may be arranged such that one opening 25 is closer to the end of the urinary catheter 15 than the other opening 30 . One of the openings 25 may be spaced 180 degrees from the other open...

Abstract

This document describes a urinary catheter assembly that can reduce the need for a user to handle the urinary catheter directly, thereby reducing the likelihood of a urinary tract infection and making the cathing process less messy. In one aspect, a urinary catheter apparatus and methods for voiding a human's bladder and enabling a human patient to void his or her bladder are provided.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to urinary catheters. Background technique [0002] Many people take the ease of emptying their bladders for granted. But for others, the process of emptying their bladder can be troublesome. Many people, including those who have suffered a traumatic spinal cord injury, must use a catheter to empty their bladder. Such people must have a catheter inserted or have a caregiver insert a catheter into their urethra and into their bladder. From there he or she can empty his or her bladder, passing urine into an appropriate voiding container. [0003] The urinary catheter is single-use. Thus, users often carry multiple catheters with them when they are away from home for extended periods of time. In addition, users are often required to carry various accessories, such as extension tubes, to assist during the catheterization process. Catheters and / or accessories can take up considerable space. [0004] Urinary tract infecti...
