CA 2723476

A package including an intermittent urinary catheter and a protective sleeve is provided. The protective sleeve is adapted to cover the surface of the catheter prior to use, thereby preventing contamination of the surface. The protective sleeve is compressed in a storage-position, and in a use-position it is extended to cover most of the insertable length of the catheter. In the compressed state, the urinary catheter may be wetted if the catheter is provided with a hydrophilic coating. The protective sleeve may be made of flexible material, which may be folded or pre-folded into a concertina-like configuration. A package which includes an intermittent urinary catheter with a protective sleeve is provided. An assembly, which includes a package with an intermittent urinary catheter, and a compartment containing a fluid medium, is provided. Finally, a method for wetting an intermittent urinary catheter including a protective sleeve is provided.

L'invention porte sur un conditionnement comprenant un cathéter urinaire intermittent et un manchon protecteur. Le manchon protecteur est apte à recouvrir la surface du cathéter avant utilisation, empêchant ainsi une contamination de la surface. Le manchon protecteur est comprimé dans une position de stockage et dans une position d'utilisation, il est déployé pour recouvrir la plus grande partie de la longueur du cathéter qui peut être introduite. Dans l'état comprimé, le cathéter urinaire peut être humidifié si le cathéter comporte un revêtement hydrophile. Le manchon protecteur peut être fait de matériau souple, qui peut être plié ou pré-plié dans une configuration de type accordéon. L'invention porte sur un conditionnement qui comprend un cathéter urinaire intermittent avec manchon protecteur. On fournit un ensemble, qui comprend un conditionnement avec un cathéter urinaire intermittent, et un compartiment contenant un milieu fluide. Enfin, l'invention porte sur un procédé d'humidification d'un cathéter urinaire intermittent comprenant un manchon protecteur.
