1. A catheter assembly comprising: a urinary catheter having a mid-section connected between a proximal end and a distal end, the proximal end of the urinary catheter is adapted for insertion into a urinary canal and the distal end of the catheter is connected to a seal; and a package provided to contain the urinary catheter, the package comprising a proximal compartment section that is attached to and detachable from a distal section of the package, the proximal compartment section is removable from the distal section of the package to provide an outlet in the distal section of the package; wherein the urinary catheter is adapted to move relative to the distal section of the package such that: (a) the seal at the distal end of the urinary catheter slides relative to the distal section of the package and the seal provides a substantially liquid tight interface between the urinary catheter and the distal section of the package while the urinary catheter is being projected from the package; and (b) at least the mid-section of the urinary catheter is movable through the outlet in the distal section of the package.
