Patent ID: 8096986

Claim:
An urinary catheter comprising: a rubber catheter tube with a distal end and proximal end, where the distal end is configured to be inserted into the bladder; a tubing clamp located on the proximal end of the catheter tube that is to remain external of the body during deployment; an unitary brass barb located on the distal end configured to retain the urinary catheter within the bladder; an urinary drainage inlet located less than one inch below the entire body of the brass barb; whereby the urinary catheter functions as an up-and-down movable valve that is configured to be located within a man's enlarged prostate-urethral organs, to allow the man to drain urine from the bladder by pushing the urinary catheter upward until the urinary drainage inlet is located within the bladder and to close the movable valve by pulling down on the urinary catheter; and once the bladder has been drained, the urinary catheter is stored by looping it up toward a base of a penis and an aptly sized rubber band is fitted around the penis to hold the urinary catheter in a position to prevent accidental dislodgement.
