Patent ID: 8734427

Claim:
A urinary catheter comprising: a tube part having a proximal end and a distal end and having a wall defining an inner lumen of the tube part; a tip part having a proximal end and a distal end where the proximal end of the tip part is a most proximal part of the urinary catheter and the distal end of the tip part abuts the proximal end of the tube part, the tip part extending from an outer surface of the wall of the tube part towards a central longitudinal axis of the tube part providing an uninterrupted solid material at the proximal end of the tube part; at least one through-going opening where the through-going opening is positioned in the wall of the tube part distal to the proximal end of the tube part; the proximal end of the tube part having a first outer diameter that is smaller than a second outer diameter at the distal end of the tube part, said outer diameter of the tube part increasing constantly along an entire length of the tube part from the proximal first outer diameter end of said tube part to the distal second outer diameter of said tube part where the outer surface of the wall of the tube part is at an angle α in relation to the central longitudinal axis of the tube part; an inner diameter of the tube part increasing constantly along the entire length of the tube part from a proximal first inner diameter of said tube part to a distal second inner diameter of said tube part, an inner surface of the tube part being at an angle β in relation to the central longitudinal axis of the tube part; and the angle α being equal to the angle β, the walls of the tube part having a material thickness that is constant from the proximal end of the tube part to the distal end of the tube part.
