Abstract: A connector for use in line in a catheter tube has a first part with a hose barb connected to the tube and a second part with a cylindrical opening and a circumferentially extending fastening strap. A hole is provided in the fastening strap. A gap is provided at the end of the fastening strap. A second part of the connector has a hose barb connected to another section of the catheter tube. The second part has a cylindrical portion that fits into the cylindrical opening of the first part. The second part also has a projection that may be positioned to enter the gap as the two pieces are fit together and which fits into the hole on the fastening strap after twisting of the pieces to latch the pieces together. The two pieces disconnect readily when a tension force is exerted that may otherwise cause injury to the wearer of the catheter.

Abstract: An external male catheter has a drain tube connection end for connection to a drain tube or collection tube that leads to a collection bag. The drain tube connection end is connected to a larger tubular portion, the other end of which is connected to a reduced diameter central portion. The central portion is tubular as well and has its other end connected to a cuff portion of a diameter generally the same as that of the larger tubular portion. An embodiment without the cuff is provided, as is an embodiment with the cuff on a tubular sheath of generally constant diameter. An applicator for the external male urinary catheter includes a pivotally connected handle for parting a pair of roll engaging arcs which open the catheter for putting on the wearer.
