Claim:
Apparatus for fitting a condom-style catheter to a penis of a user, including at least two jaw members and movement means for moving said jaw members towards and away from each other, wherein: said jaw members are adapted, in a first position relative to each other, to surround a first portion of said catheter and to retain against external surfaces of said jaws a toroidal roll formed of a rolled-up open-ended end portion of said catheter adjoining said first portion; said movement means is operable by a user to move said jaw members outwardly to a second position relative to each other wherein said toroidal roll and a wall of said first portion of said catheter between said jaw members are distended to form an opening of a size and shape suitable to admit placement of an end of a penis therein; said movement means is operable by a user to move said jaw members inwardly from said second position to a position in which said catheter is located on said penis and said toroidal roll is positioned for unrolling from said jaw members and thereafter along said penis by a user, so that said penis is located within said catheter; and said jaw members flare outwardly in a direction which in use of said apparatus lies along said penis whereby to aid retention of said toroidal roll on said jaw members.
