URINE CATHETER Russian patent published in 2014 - IPC A61M25/00 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to medical equipment, namely to urine catheters, widely used by people, having problems with respect to voluntary urinary bladder emptying, or by people, who need temporary assistance in urinary bladder emptying. Catheter contains tubular part, tip part and, at least, one through hole. Tubular part has proximal end, distal end and wall, determining internal lumen of tubular section. Tip part has proximal end and distal end. Proximal end of tip part is the closest part of urine catheter. Distal end of tip part adjoins proximal end of tubular part. Tip part passes from external surface of tubular part wall in direction of central longitudinal axis of tubular part, providing continuous solid material on proximal end of tubular part. Through hole is located in wall of tubular part distally with respect to proximal end of tubular part. Tubular part on its proximal end has first external diameter, which is smaller than second external diameter on distal end of tubular part. External diameter of tubular part constantly increases along entire length of tubular part from its proximal first external diameter to its distal second external diameter. External surface is located at angle α relative to central longitudinal axis of tubular part. Said catheter is manufactured by injection moulding.

EFFECT: improvement of construction.
