Abstract: An irrigation system comprising a reservoir for an irrigating liquid and a probe for arrangement in a user, wherein said probe comprises an inflatable balloon for fixing the catheter in a body cavity.
Abstract: A catheter is disclosed that includes an elongated shaft, an insertable end formed in or connected to one end of the elongated shaft, and a discharge end formed in or connected to the opposite end of the elongated shaft. Further, the catheter includes an insertion aid that at least partly encircles the discharge end, and is integrally and releasably connected to the discharge end. The catheter can be easily produced, and at the same time, the insertion aid may easily be removed for use as an insertion aid when using the catheter.
Abstract: A catheter assembly is disclosed, comprising a catheter and an elongate package accommodating said catheter in a closed condition. The package is provided with an insert opening arranged to releasably receive an end of the elongate package in the closed condition, thereby temporarily retaining said closed package in a folded disposition in which also the catheter is folded.
Abstract: An irrigation system, useable e.g. for rectal/anal irrigation, comprising a reservoir for irrigating liquid; a probe (such as a catheter) for arrangement in a user, and having an inflatable retention member (such as a balloon); and tubing providing fluid communication between the reservoir, the control unit and the probe for conducting the irrigation fluid from the reservoir to the probe.

Abstract: A tubular insertion aid for catheter manipulation is disclosed. The insertion aid is particularly suited for urinary catheters, such as hydrophilic urinary catheters for intermittent use. The insertion aid comprises a forward opening, a rearward opening and a slit opening extending along a part of the sidewall of the tubular insertion aid, so that a first portion of the tubular insertion aid in the axial direction forms a solid circumference around the tubular insertion aid, and a second portion in the axial direction is provided with the slit opening extending in an axial direction of the tubular insertion aid.
