Patent ID: 11083874

Abstract:
A catheter has a double-action retention mechanism with (a) one retention mechanism having a reinforced retention body transformable into a deployed flower-like configuration when the catheter is inserted in the bodily cavity, and (b) a stabilizer securing the catheter to a patient's body to maintain a stable position. The retention mechanism for securing the catheter in the bodily cavity is configured with a thickened or reinforced wall portions of the retention body. The inner channel of the catheter body is wider than conventional catheters, thus attaining better drainage and better fluid flow. Due to the reinforced flower configuration, an inadvertent removal of the catheter with the flower configuration fully deployed will afflict no significant damage. When the catheter is to be removed, the catheter's body is disengaged from the stabilizer and the flower configuration of the retention mechanism retention body controllably collapses, thus transforming the catheter to a configuration suitable for removal of the catheter from the bodily cavity. The improved Catheter is simple in operation, safe, prevents from CAUTI, and provides a non-residual urine drainage and high flow rate.
