A disposable hydrophilic catheterization device for inserting a hydrophilic catheter into the urethra of an individual for the purpose of evacuating the bladder is disclosed. The catheter device includes a catheter introducer, a flexible hydrophilic catheter and a flexible thin-walled sheath. The sheath surrounds the urethra-insertable portion of the catheter, is adapted for containing a wetting liquid, and prevents pooling of the wetting liquid with collected urine. A leak-resistant diaphragm disposed within the catheter introducer is capable of being pierced by the catheter tip to form a leak- resistant orifice around the wetted hydrophilic catheter as it moves through the orifice.
L'invention concerne un dispositif à sonde hydrophile à usage unique pour insérer une sonde hydrophile dans l'urètre d'un individu afin d'évacuer la vessie. Le dispositif à sonde comprend un introducteur de sonde, une sonde hydrophile souple et une gaine souple à paroi mince. La gaine entoure la portion de la sonde insérable dans l'urètre, est adaptée pour contenir un liquide mouillant, et empêche le liquide mouillant de se mélanger à l'urine recueillie. Selon l'invention, une membrane résistante aux fuites disposée à l'intérieur de l'introducteur de sonde peut être percée par le bout de la sonde pour former un orifice résistant aux fuites autour de la sonde hydrophile mouillée au fur et à mesure que celle-ci se déplace dans l'orifice.
