ABSTRACT:
In a catheter feeding system, a flexible resilient tube surrounds the catheter extending out of the catheter placement fixture. A portion of the tube is pleated adjacent to the fixture and the remainder of the tube is cylindrical. The catheter is fed forward by pinching the catheter through the tube between the thumb and forefinger behind the pleated portion and pushing the catheter forward into the fixture causing the tube to collapse axially in the pleated portion. A tubular jacket, which is also attached to the fixture, surrounds the pleated portion to keep it from wiggling out of axial alignment with the catheter during the feeding operation.
