Definitions
- the present disclosure generally relates to urinary catheters. More particularly, the present disclosure relates to reusable urinary catheter products.
- Catheters are used to treat many different types of medical conditions and typically include an elongated shaft that is inserted into and through a passageway or lumen of the body.
- Catheters, and in particular intermittent catheters are commonly used by those who suffer from various abnormalities of the urinary system, such as urinary incontinence. With the advent of intermittent catheters, individuals with urinary system abnormalities can self-insert and self remove intermittent catheters several times a day.
- Urinary catheters are frequently provided as disposable, single-use items. A user will remove the catheter from a package, use the catheter once, and then dispose of the catheter and the package. Reusable urinary catheters could, thus, be advantageous in reducing the amount of waste created by the use of disposable catheters, but there are various challenges associated with the use of reusable catheters (including storage, transport, and sterilization) that must be overcome before widespread acceptance and use of reusable catheters.
- the reusable catheter product includes a catheter and a case.
- the case includes a distal section, a proximal section, and a middle section therebetween.
- the case also includes a cavity configured to receive the catheter.
- the reusable catheter includes a distal end and a proximal end.
- the reusable catheter includes a hydrophilic coating.
- the case also includes a hydration fluid contained within the cavity.
- the hydration fluid includes a sterilization medium.
- the reusable catheter product further includes the case having a flexible middle section, and rigid proximal and distal sections.
- the flexible middle section may have grooves and/or ridges.
- the case may also include at least one grip, and the distal section of the case may define at least one cutout configured to mate with a catheter cap.
- the catheter further includes the catheter cap configured to mate with the cutout.
- a method for sterilizing the reusable catheter product includes inserting the hydration fluid comprising the sterilization medium into the cavity and inserting the catheter into the case by pushing the proximal end of the catheter into the proximal section of the case.
- Fig. 1 is a side view of a reusable catheter product.
- Fig. 2 is a cross-sectional view of the reusable catheter product of Fig.
- FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view of the reusable catheter product of Fig.
- Fig. 4 is a perspective view of the reusable catheter product of Fig. 1 , showing the case in a bent configuration.
- FIG. 5 is a perspective view of a multiuse catheter contained within a package.

- Fig. 1 shows a reusable urinary catheter product 10.
- the product 10 includes a storage and sterilization device, such as a case 12. Referring to Figs.
- the case 12 defines a cavity 16 configured to hold a hydration fluid 18.
- the case 12 includes a proximal section 30, a distal section 32, and a middle section 40 therebetween.

- the case 12 is configured to accommodate a multiuse urinary catheter 14.
- the cavity 16 is configured to accept and store the urinary catheter 14.
- the catheter 14 includes a shaft 20 which has a hydrophilic coating thereon. The hydrophilic coating becomes lubricous when hydrated with a hydration fluid, which assists in easing insertion and withdrawal of the catheter 14 from the urethra.
- the hydration fluid 18 comprises a sterilization medium for sterilizing the catheter 14 in between uses.
- the sterilization medium in the hydration fluid 18 contacts the catheter 14, when the catheter 14 is located within the cavity 16.
- the sterilization medium in the hydration fluid 18 can include any suitable antiseptic component such as iodine, oligodynamic metals, etc.
- the hydration fluid 18 may include a water-based solution of a complex of polyvinyl pyrrolidone (PVP) and iodine.
- the hydration fluid 18 is capable of activating or refreshing the hydrophilic coating of the urinary catheter 14, and capable of sterilizing the catheter 14 when the coating contacts the hydration fluid 18.
- the catheter 14 may be immersed in the hydration fluid 18, which sterilizes and hydrates the hydrophilic coating of the catheter 14.
- the catheter 14 may not be immersed in the hydration fluid 18 but the fluid 18 may slosh around within the case 12 due to shaking and/or natural movement of the user.
- the hydration fluid 18 comprises a water based solution of chlorhexidine (e.g., dihydrochloride, diacetate, and digluconate).
- chlorhexidine e.g., dihydrochloride, diacetate, and digluconate
- the sterilization medium of the hydration fluid 18 comprises FimH inhibitors that hinder bacterial adhesion to cells, tissues and synthetic material surfaces, thus preventing bacterial colonization and proliferation.
- the FimH inhibitors include, but are not limited to, mannose based molecules. Among these mannose based molecules are alkyl alfa-D-mannopyranosides (e.g. heptyl alfa-D-mannopyranoside) and aryl alfa-D-mannopyranosides, having different degrees of relative inhibitory potency.

- KL Lys- Leu or klotho
- the sterilization medium of the hydration fluid 18 comprises antibacterial materials including aminoglycosides and derivatives (bactericidal antibiotics tolerant to enzymatic inactivation). Examples of these include but are not limited to Plazomicin.
- the sterilization medium of the hydration fluid 18 comprises nanoparticles with bactericidal effects. Examples of these include, but are not limited to, zinc oxide and copper oxide.
- the sterilization medium of the hydration fluid 18 comprises oxazolidinones capable of inhibiting bacterial protein synthesis.
- oxazolidinones include, but are not limited to, Tedizolid, Solithromycin,

- the catheter 14 and/or case 12 may also have features that facilitate sterilization.
- an antimicrobial compound may be any antimicrobial compound.
- the antimicrobial compound may include, but is not limited to, zinc oxide, zinc sulphates, and zero valence silver.
- zinc oxide is incorporated into the material of the catheter 14 and/or case 12.
- zinc oxide (ZnO) powder may be compounded using a twin screw extruder with the polymer material of the case, which may be a thermoplastic elastomer (TPE). This ZnO compound is then extruded to produce a case 12 and/or catheter 14 loaded with antimicrobial ZnO.
- TPE thermoplastic elastomer
- a polymer loaded with ZnO is formed into a catheter tube.
- the tube is tipped and a funnel is attached to the catheter 14.
- the catheter 14 is subsequently coated with a hydrophilic coating such as a polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) based coating.
- PVP polyvinylpyrrolidone
- the catheter 14 has an outer portion with a hydrophilic coating and an inner portion including a polymer-ZnO composite. Due to the antibacterial properties of the ZnO-polymer composite the inner surface will resist bacterial colonization.
- the case 12 may be made from a loaded polymer, such as TPE, which inhibits bacterial colonization in the cavity 16 of the case 12.
- the outer surface of the catheter 14 and the inner surface of the case 12 may be UV irradiated to kill bacteria.
- the hydrophilic coating of the catheter 14 is loaded with ZnO to provide an antibacterial hydrophilic surface.
- the catheter 14 and/or coating comprises zinc sulphates (ZnS04) and zero valence silver.
- the catheter 14 includes a silicone based coude tip/straight tip.
- the catheter 14 also may include zero valence silver attached to its exterior and interior walls. When metallic silver is deposited inside and outside of the catheter 14, the catheter 14 may remain bacteria free and be useable for a years-long time period.
- the case 12 includes a wall that is lined with silver and the easel 2 is filled with water.
- the silver lining helps kill bacteria both inside and outside the catheter 14.
- the case 12 includes a pouch that is lined with silver.
- the pouch is filled with water and is configured to hold the catheter 14.
- the silver lining helps kill bacteria both inside and outside of the catheter 14.

- the case 12 includes an agitator to agitate the hydration fluid 18 during sterilization of the catheter 14.
- the catheter 14 is placed in a catheter pack capable of irradiating the catheter with antibacterial UV light 64 for sterilization (illustrated in Fig. 3).
- the hydration fluid 18 may include a hydrophilic polymer, such as PVP.
- the hydrophilic polymer When the hydration fluid 18 contacts the hydrophilic coating, the hydrophilic polymer also contacts the coating. During exposure to UV light, the hydrophilic polymer of the hydration fluid 18 crosslinks with the hydrophilic coating so as to refresh the hydrophilic coating with additional polymer chains.
