Patent number: 11497887Abstract: An intermittent urinary catheter assembly (20) comprises a catheter tube (22) having a proximal insertion end (24) and a distal end (26) remote from the proximal insertion end and a lumen (28) which extends from at or near the proximal insertion end to the distal end for draining urine from a human bladder. The intermittent urinary catheter assembly includes a urine discharge sleeve (34) associated with the discharge opening (30) of the catheter tube, and the urine discharge sleeve has a compact stowed configuration and is extendable into a deployed configuration for directing urine flow. Alternatively, an adapter assembly (50?) comprises a fitting or nipple (52?) having a urine passageway for insertion into a funnel (40?) associated with a urine discharge end of an intermittent urinary catheter, and a discharge funnel (42?) associated with the fitting or nipple, and an extendable urine discharge sleeve (34?) within the discharge funnel.Type: GrantFiled: September 13, 2019Date of Patent: November 15, 2022Assignee: Hollister IncorporatedInventors: Brendan J. Heneghan, David Hannon, Jerome A. Henry, Michael G. Murray, Adam J. Foley

Publication number: 20190381273Abstract: A catheter and package combination including a package having opposed front and rear panels that are sealed together to define a sealed interior cavity. The package also has top and bottom edges and opposed side edges. The cavity has a first height extending in a direction between the top and bottom edges. The front and rear panels are configured to tear adjacent to one of the side edges in the direction between the top and bottom edges to form an opening in communication with the cavity wherein the opening has a second height in the direction between the top and bottom edges that is smaller than the first height of the cavity. A urinary catheter in a compact configuration is disposed within the cavity.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 28, 2019Publication date: December 19, 2019Inventors: Barbara J. Kearns, Adam J. Foley, David L. Doerschner, Robert A. Greynolds, Jerome A. Henry, Thomas Renehan, Horacio Montes de Oca Balderas, Shane O'Malley, Martin McMenamin, Michael G. Murray, Brendan J. Heneghan
