ABSTRACT:
A catheter comprises a relatively stiff drainage tube having an inflatable sheath telescoped thereover. The sheath is inflated after insertion of the tube and sheath into the urethra of a patient. The sheath has a plurality of circumferentially spaced relative thin sections that form circumferentially spaced catheter retention balloons at the insertion end of said tube when said sheath is inflated thereby to facilitate complete drainage of the bladder.
