Abstract of the Disclosure A suprapubic catheter is inserted into a bladder in a safe, efficient and simple manner by first inserting a hollow, curved and rigid tubing member transurethrally into a bladder. The tubing member has a catheter therewithin onto which a cutting point is attached, and is con- structed in such a manner as to permit the cutting point to, when pushed through the distal end thereof, pierce the anterior wall of the bladder after it has been externally palpated for placement. The cutting point, then emerging from the bladder, can be grasped externally and the catheter can be pulled through the tubing member and into the bladder to a premarked point thereon and may be separated from the main body of the catheter and connection made to a conventional drainage and collection assembly. The tubing member is then withdrawn backwardly leaving the catheter tube safely within the bladder in the proper position. A stylet may be employed to remove the catheter when drainage is to be terminated.
