Definitions

  • An improved urethral catheter applicator includes a catheter storage cartridge, means for lubricating and unidirectionally advancing a tubular urethral catheter through and from the device while the device is held and manipulated in one hand, and a specially shaped nose portion for accurately positioning the device adjacent the urethra.
  • the invention relates to medical devices, specifically urethral catheter applicators.
  • Lubrication of the catheter is desired for ease of insertion and care must be taken to lubricate the catheter in a sterile manner. Accordingly, there is a need for a simple, effective catheter applicator capable of facilitating sterile catheter insertion, providing convenient catheter lubrication and permitting one hand operation of the device, including advancement of the catheter, so that the other hand of the operator is free to assist in positioning and exposing the urethra for rapid and easy catheter insertion.
  • the catheter-advancing means includes a hollow container generally circular in cross-section and having an open rearward end and a front end having catheter control means defining an opening and adapted to permit forward movement while inhibiting rearward movement of an urethral catheter tube therethrough, catheter control means spaced rearwardly of that front end and defining an opening, and resilient means interconnecting the rearwardly positioned catheter control means and the. container for mutual reciprocation between two spaced positions. This arrangement functions to unidirectionally advance the catheter through the applicator.

  • applicator 10 except for spring 16 (which may be spring steel or the like) preferably is formed of clear transparent, smooth self-supporting material, such as an acetate or other thermoplastic or thermosetting plastic of suitable gauge.
  • the catheter 22 may be of plastic, rubber or the like, generally circular in crosssection. Obviously, applicator 10 can, if desired, be
  • Cartridge 12 is generally circular in transverse crosssection and preferably is generally frusto-conical, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, with a broad rear storage portion 24 and a narrow necked down front portion 26 defining a central opening (catheter passageway) 28.
  • the rear end 30 of cartridge 12 is closed except for an opening 32 and may be provided with a finger-gripping rim 34 extending outwardly from cartridge 12 along the periphery thereof.
  • a substantial portion 36 of catheter 22 lies in a compact spirally coiled position in portion 24, while a portion 38 thereof extends laterally tangentially through opening 32 for connection with suitable urine collecting means (not a part of this invention), such as the collection bag 40, shown in phantom outline.
  • a portion 42 of catheter 22 extends longitudinally forward through opening 28 and the remainder of applicator 10 for withdrawal of catheter 22 by operation of catheter-advancing means more particularly described hereinafter.
  • the shape of cartridge 12 is important in that the cross-sectional configuration plus the wall shape of the necked-down portion 26 permitcatheter 22 to uncoil and straighten as it is forwardly withdrawn therefrom, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, by the catheteradvancing means.
  • the container 14 is nested over and forward of cartridge 12 with the rearward portion thereof in contact with the exterior surface of portion 24.
  • Container 14 is hollow and generally circular in transverse crosssection and preferably is of frusto-conical configuration as shown in FIGS.
  • Spring 16 is helically coiled and of sufficient diameter to seat'around flaps 54 and abut the inner surface of the front end 56 of container 18 which may be of the same general frusto-conical configuration, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, as container 14 and has a rear portion 58, an open rear end 60, and an outwardly extending peripheral rim 62.
  • a central catheter passageway 64 is provided, bounded by four forwardly and inwardly extending flaps 66 comparable in function to flaps 54.
  • Container 18 is slightly larger than container 14 and is nested over and spaced from container 14 by the spring 16, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2.
  • the nose portion is hollow, generally circular in transverse cross-section, and preferably generally frusto-conical in configuration, with the rear portion 68 thereof secured to container 18 adjacent front end 56 of that container, as by adhesive, glue, etc. Alternatively, it may be formed integrally therewith.
  • This arrangement provides a space 70 between front end 56 of the container 18 and the front end 72 of nose portion 20 which serves as a lubricant well 74.
  • Front end 72 is dimensioned, smoothly rounded and contoured, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, with a recessed central portion 76 surrounding a central catheter passageway 78, so as to facilitate catheter insertion into the urethra.
  • its configuration is such that the labia of the female can be easily and smoothly separated without discomfort by pressing the nose portion 20 towards the urethra, thereby exposing the urethra (preferably to view through the transparent wall of nose 20) and permitting easy positioning of passageway 78 adjacent thereto so as to facilitate catheter insertion.
  • the assembled applicator 10 is shown in FIG. 1, with cartridge 12 slidably received in container 14, catheter 22 coiled therein and extending tangentially outwardly for connection with the collection bag 40 (of plastic, rubber, etc.) and longitudinally forwardly through passageways 28, 52, 64 and 78 and to the front of the applicator.
  • the catheter 22 is shown as extending slightly from the applicator device 10, although it should be understood that in the pre-packaged state it will be wholly enclosed in the device. This facilitates packaging and also insures lubrication of the tip of the catheter when lubrication is provided by the device.
  • catheter 22 may be provided with a rounded and tapered front end 80 containing an opening 82 in communication with a central passageway 84 therethrough for urine collection.
  • Well 74 may be partially or wholly filled with a suitable lubricant (not shown) before use to lubricate the exterior of catheter 22 as it passes therethrough.
  • Applicator 10 can be fabricated in any suitable conventional manner, as by extrusion, hot forming and the like, depending on the particular materials of construction.
  • the well 74 preferably is at least partly filled with a suitable lubricant immediately before use of applicator 10 so that lubrication of catheter 22 automatically occurs as it passes through well 74.
  • the applicator 10 is used by first grasping it in one hand with the thumb against the rearward end 30 and theforefinger and middle finger abutting opposite sides of the front surface of rim 62', as indicated in FIG. 7, and then guiding the nose portion 20 to a position adjacent the urethra, as described above.
  • the other hand of the operator if desired, can be used to aid in separating the labia or in holding the penis to facilitate proximation of nose portion 20 and the urethra.
  • a hollow flexible tubular sleeve extension (such as is shown in FIGS. 5 and 6) can be connected to the nose portion 20 for sterile reception of the penis and alignment thereof while handling for catheter insertion.
  • a sleeve preferably is clear transparent material.
  • the operator can insert the front end of catheter 22 into the urethra manually or solely by means of applicator 10, preferably the latter, and alternately moves container 14 and container 18 toward each other against the actionof spring 16, compressing it, by pushing forward against end 30 and rearward against rim 62, and then allows them to move away from each other by easing up the compressing finger force and allowing spring 16 to return to its uncompressed state.
  • This reciprocating action has the effect of progressively drawing catheter 22 from its coiled position in cartridge 12, straightening it and intermittently moving it forward and out passageway 78 and into and through the urethra. Flaps 54 and 66 prevent catheter 22 thus advanced by each compressing movement from retreating each time spring 16 is allowed to return to its uncompressed state.
  • This arrangement permits complete control by the operator of the rate of advance of the catheter through the urethra with only one hand needed to manipulate the catheter and applicator (FIG. 7).
  • applicator 10 When catheter 22 has been fully advanced to the desired anatomical location, applicator 10 can be stripped away by holding the catheter in position relative to the patient and rearwardly pulling the applicator 10 therefrom. If necessary, bag 40, if connected to catheter 22, can be disconnected therefrom to facilitate removal of applicator 10 and then can be reconnected to catheter 22 while a clamp (not shown) maintains the catheter passage 84 closed. The desired urine can then be collected in bag 40 or other receptacle and catheter 22 thereafter can be removed in the usual manner.
  • Applicator 10 preferably is dimensioned to fit the hand easily, a typical embodiment being, for example, about 2 inches in diameter at the rearward end and slightly less than 1 inch in diameter at the front end, and having an overall length of about 3 inches, with rims 48 and 62 spaced about 1 inch apart when spring 16 is in uncompressed state and about one-half to three-fourths inch apart when normally compressed during use.
  • Catheter 22 may be about one-eighth inch in diameter and can be advanced intermittently about, for example, one-fourth to one-half inch during the compression portion of each catheter-advancing cycle.
  • Applicator 10 can be made conveniently small and simple, yet provides adequate storage for the catheter, can be easily sterilized and kept sterile in use, is inexpensive and disposable, is preferably transparent for ease of viewing during catheter insertion and can be easily packaged in a sterile state ready for use.
