ABSTRACT:
In accordance with the invention there is provided a method of preventing bacterial migration during a urethral catheterization procedure. The method includes providing a urethral catheter having a shaft with an antiseptic cuff disposed on the shaft. The cuff comprises an annular cylinder which includes a resilient biocompatible material which contains an antimicrobial substance. The cuff is adapted to release the substance and is positioned at a point on the length of the shaft of the catheter, such that, upon insertion of the catheter into the urethra of the patient, the cuff is near a tip of the urethra. A portion of the shaft is inserted into the urethra of the patient such that the antiseptic is positioned entirely within the urethra of the patient near the tip of the urethra.
