ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus are provided for fitting a condom-style catheter onto a penis of a user. The apparatus includes two jaws moveable toward and away from each other. The jaws, in a first position, surround a first portion of the catheter and retain against surfaces of the jaws a toroidal roll formed of a rolled-up open-ended sheath portion of the catheter adjoining the first portion. The jaws are then moved outwardly to a second position relative to each other so that an opening bounded by a wall of the first portion of said catheter between the jaws is shaped and opened up sufficiently to admit placement of an end of a penis therein. The jaws can then be moved inwardly to a position in which the catheter is located on the penis and the roll can be unrolled from the jaws and along said penis.
