ABSTRACT:
A sheath-type external catheter is provided having upper and lower portions defined by the gauge of the material used to construct the sheath; and a tubular ring applicator. The applicator surrounds the inner surface of the upper portion of the sheath which is everted over the lower portion of the sheath. In constructing the novel catheter/applicator combination, the inner surface of the upper sheath portion is everted over the outside surface of the lower sheath portion. With the catheter in this position, the ring applicator is placed about the lower portion of the sheath so that the inner surface of the ring contacts the inner surface of the upper sheath portion. The everted portion of the sheath is generally longer than the length of the ring member, with a portion of the everted upper sheath extending below the ring.
