Abstract:
1. A catheter assembly comprising: a first tubular section providing a urinary catheter having a proximal end that is insertable into a bladder and an opposing distal end portion; a second tubular section, with the first tubular section disposed in the second tubular section, the second tubular section having a proximal end with a first opening and a distal end with a second opening, the first opening is adapted for dispensing the proximal end of the urinary catheter out of the proximal end of the second tubular section and the second opening is provided to drain liquid from the urinary catheter through and out of the second tubular section; a plug connected to the distal end portion of the first tubular section, the plug configured to seal the second opening in the second tubular section when the first tubular section is disposed in the second tubular section; and a sealing obstruction formed on an inner surface of the second tubular section; wherein the sealing obstruction is adapted to engage with a groove formed in the plug to form a seal between the distal end portion of the urinary catheter and the proximal end of the second tubular section when the proximal end of the urinary catheter is exposed a sufficient length for insertion into the bladder.
