ABSTRACT:
A catheter is provided, having a flexible elongated conduit adapted for insertion into a passage in the patient's body. The conduit has a forward insertion end and a rearward distal end, and has a handpiece which surrounds a portion of the conduit in the area of the insertion end. A sealing envelope is attached forwardly on the handpiece and is sealed with respect to the conduit, forming a sealed, enclosed space surrounding at least a portion of the handpiece and also surrounding at least a portion of the conduit. The exterior surface of the rearward portion of the handpiece provides a support for forward sliding manipulation of the envelope, by the individual who inserts the conduit into the body passage of the patient.
