ABSTRACT:
An intraurethral catheter includes an elongate shaft and a tip comprising a unitary member including a curved tip portion and an inflatable balloon portion mountable on a proximal end of the catheter shaft. The present invention simplifies manufacture of the catheter by permitting an inflatable retention balloon and a curved insertion tip to be simultaneously secured on a proximal end of the catheter shaft.
