CATHETER WETTING DEVICES

A urinary catheter wetting apparatus (120) has a chamber (126) with a first end wall opposite to a second end wall defining forward and rearward sections (124,126) each having an aperture (136,142) of which are axially aligned. A catheter tube is connected to a connector (160), the latter of which s...

Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A urinary catheter wetting apparatus (120) has a chamber (126) with a first end wall opposite to a second end wall defining forward and rearward sections (124,126) each having an aperture (136,142) of which are axially aligned. A catheter tube is connected to a connector (160), the latter of which spans the chamber and initially seals the two apertures. The connector is slideable through the first end wall and the second end wall of the chamber so the catheter tube can be drawn through the chamber. A wetting agent is disposed in the chamber. Upon use, the connector passes through the chamber, applying pressure to the wetting applicator, thereby releasing the wetting agent from the wetting applicator and onto the catheter tube as it follows the connector through the chamber.
