ABSTRACT:
Apparatus and methodology for applying catheters, dilators and occluders to mammalian genito-urinary and gastro-intestinal passages, using rotational manipulation of threaded or helically-formed catheters and threaded dilators and occluders. Threaded or helical catheters are inserted into the opening of the selected passage far enough to engage a thread segment, the other end of the catheter is then manually rotated to draw the catheter into the passage. Threaded dilators and occluders are similarly applied.
