ABSTRACT:
The combination of an external male catheter and an applicator to facilitate properly fitting the catheter on a patient, as well as the method for doing so, are disclosed. The catheter is preferably of the type disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 4,540,409 and the applicator takes the form of a relatively rigid open-ended tube and a flexible tubular drawsleeve formed of substantially non-stretchable material that slides easily against the surfaces of the tube. The drawsleeve includes a first portion disposed within the applicator tube and surrounding the neck and drainage tube portions of the catheter therein, a second portion extending a substantial distance outwardly (axially) from the interior of the tube at one end thereof, and a third portion interposed between the outer surface of the tube and the cylindrical body of the catheter. A user applies the catheter by gripping and pulling the exposed second portion of the drawsleeve to extract the drawsleeve from one end of the applicator tube while the interior surfaces of the catheter sheath at the opposite end of the applicator tube are in contact with the penis.
