Abstract
The invention provides a reusable urinary catheter kit comprising a container comprising: a urinary catheter; and a medium comprising at least one species independently chosen from: hypochlorous acid, at least one hypochlorite salt, chlorine dioxide, and combinations thereof at a concentration of 0.005 – 0.6 wt% of the medium. The invention further provides a method of sterilising and/or lubricating a reusable urinary catheter using at least one species independently chosen from: hypochlorous acid, at least one hypochlorite salt, chlorine dioxide, and combinations thereof. Sodium hydroxide or sodium chloride may also be present in then medium which is preferably an aqueous solution. In an embodiment, sterilisation takes place by immersing the catheter in the sterilising medium. In an embodiment, the sterilising medium is provided in a separate container, so it is not in contact with the catheter. The secondary container is punctured when the medium is required. Amphiphilic compounds, including block-copolymers, may also be included in the sterilising medium.
