ABSTRACT:
A catheter assembly is described in which a catheter within a package can be extracted and utilized in a sterile manner which is particularly useful for a self-catheterization procedure. As described with reference to one embodiment, the catheter assembly is formed with a bottom layer and a top layer between which the catheter is located in a sterile manner. The top layer is provided with a backing so as to form a pocket in which one can place a hand and grip the catheter through the top layer. Sterile packets of lubricating jelly and antiseptic wipe may be placed here. The bottom and top layers are joined along a tear zone so that the layers can be separated from each other while gripping the catheter through the top layer and pulling the bottom layer away so that upon separation, one holds the catheter in a sterile manner. In one form, the bottom layer is in the form of a bag to which one end of the catheter is connected so that the urine may drain into it.
