Embodiment Construction

[0015] The present invention relates to a device for securing a urinary catheter (eg, a straight catheter or a Foley catheter) in the urinary tract of a male patient. The device includes a portion coupleable to a patient's penis, and a portion coupleable to a straight catheter or a Foley catheter. The portion coupleable to the patient's penis may be in the form of a sheath or condom configured to fit a penis (eg, a normal, flaccid penis). The device comprising a sheath or condom portion and a portion coupled to a urinary catheter may be referred to as a catheter retention sheath.

[0016] The portion of the catheter retention sheath coupled to the urinary catheter may define a two-part bore. The first part of the hole is configured such that the urinary catheter is free to move along this first part (at least in the axial direction of its shaft). This first portion of the hole may be larger than the outer diameter of the shaft of the urinary catheter, thereby allowing the ur...

Description

[0001] priority [0002] This application claims the benefit of priority to US Patent Application No. 13 / 682,406, filed November 20, 2012, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. technical field [0003] The present invention relates to a device for securing a straight or Foley catheter in the urinary tract of a male patient. The device includes a portion coupleable to a patient's penis, and a portion coupleable to a straight catheter or a Foley catheter. The invention also relates to methods of making and using the device, and to an assembly comprising the device and a straight or Foley catheter. Background technique [0004] When the urinary catheter is in the patient's urethra or bladder, its movement can cause discomfort to the patient. There remains a need for devices that reduce or eliminate movement of the catheter after it has been inserted into the patient's urethra. Contents of the invention [0005] The present invention includes a cathete...
