International ClassA61M 005/32AbstractAn indwelling urethral catheter arrangement for the prevention of ascending bacterial infection which is of such a design that, on the one hand the bacteria are flushed downwardly by urine permitted to flow along the inside of the urethral wall and, on the other hand, the entire urinary stream is conducted, with the aid of a condom-like sheath fittable over the tip of the penis, to the outside of the catheter arrangement; in this fashion soiling of the patient's clothing will be avoided regardless of the flushing provision.Field of SearchMeans for securing conduit to body | |
