ABSTRACT:
The catheter assembly has a shielded unit in which a distal end of a catheter is sealed within a collapsible sheath in a sterile manner. One end of the sheath is secured to a hub which is slidable on the catheter in seal-fit relation and the other end of the sheath is secured to a connector which contains a hollow needle for passage of the catheter and a sealing membrane to seal off the connector. The catheter assembly also has an introducer which is provided with a sealing membrane which can be pierced by the hollow needle as the connector is coupled with the introducer. A container assembly is also provided which has a pierceable membrane through which the hollow needle of the connector may pass to permit pre-inflation of the balloon for use in conjunction with a flow directed type catheter for viewing the expansion of the balloon-tipped end of the flow directed type catheter within the sealed chamber of the container assembly.
A kit comprising the catheter assembly including an introducer or container assembly or both as is taught herein is also provided.
