Patent CA-2933486-A1 (CA)
Inventor: CLARKE JOHN T
IPC: A61M25/00
Filed: 2014-12-10
Abstract: This is a water disintegrable, flushable catheter that will dissolve or biodegrade in water. It is coated with a hydrophilic coating and will achieve lubricity values typical of a hydrophilic catheter. The catheter may be formed of a bi-layer tube that has a biodegradable outer layer such as polylactic acid and a purely water disintegrable inner layer, e.g., polyvinyl alcohol (PVOH). The outer layer will support the hydrophilic coating even when it's wetted and thus acts as a stable primer layer for hydrophilic style coatings. The outer layer bonds well to the water disintegrable inner layer but also allows a hydrophilic coating to be applied on top. The outer layer acts as a temporary water barrier. This water barrier allows the hydrophilic coating to be hydrated prior to use but prevents water molecules from attacking the PVOH inner layer. Alternatively, a hydrophilic coating that bonds to either the tubing directly or a via a primer layer but unlike typical hydrophilic coatings the coating is pre- activated by organic activation agents other than water and thus the catheter does not break down in the packaging or sterilization
