ABSTRACT:
A transparent intravascular catheter preparation and dispensing container assembly has a main housing compartment with an opening detachably covered to permit the hand to remove part of the catheter therefrom with a bumper, which can be rotatable, to prevent catheter crimping, and basin beneath a catheter port to enhance liquid visibility; and has a connector compartment housing the more proximal catheter portion which is detachably covered to allow hand removal of the catheter portion therefrom, with a slotted washer mounted between said compartments to receive the catheter; a transparent glove surrounding a more distal catheter section with pleated sections of alternating sizes; a proximal glove washer with distal funnel bore to facilitate catheter retraction and a tapered proximal exterior to facilitate taping it to the catheter after catheter insertion; a distal glove collar with a catheter guide tube mounted therein; a trough housing the glove at an upward angle, trough chambers covered by detachable lids and sized to permit the hand to grasp a glove portion to retract and remove the catheter; a test chamber with a cavity to receive the catheter distal balloon for leak testing; a tube connecting the test chamber and trough, with a catheter conduit, and a gas escape conduit extending from the test cavity top and the high point of the tube catheter conduit; an introducer tube with a recess to receive the guide tube; the catheter is initially coiled and spaced from a main housing wall to abut the wall when the catheter is retracted from the test cavity a predetermined distance to prevent further retraction, which is accomplished in one modification with the catheter coiled twice, in another modification the main housing has a bulge with the catheter initially abutting a housing wall so that when the catheter retracts a predetermined length it abuts the bulge.
