Abstract: An indwelling urethral device is described that includes an elongated tubular member extending along a longitudinal axis (L) from a distal inlet end portion, via an intermediate portion, to a proximal outlet end portion, the tubular member defining a lumen extending along the longitudinal axis between the distal inlet end portion and the proximal outlet end portion, the distal end portion of the elongated tubular member comprising a plurality of urine inlet openings, at least a part of the distal end portion being preconfigured to be reversibly transformable between a linear state for passage through the urethra when inserted there through and a preconfigured coiled state for anchored receipt within the bladder in the use position. The plurality of urine inlet openings is provided on the interior spiral section and urine inlet openings are absent on the exterior spiral section.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a urinary catheter comprising a catheter tube having a proximal end and a distal inlet end portion comprising a rounded catheter tip. The distal inlet end portion further comprises a lateral urine inlet opening and the catheter tube comprises a drainage channel in fluid communication with the urine inlet opening. The catheter furthermore comprises an inflatable retention member at the distal inlet end portion, wherein the inflatable retention member is in fluid communication with an inflation channel. The distal inlet end portion is provided with a curved internal cavity. The curved internal cavity furthermore extends in a longitudinal direction along the distal inlet end portion, over the rounded catheter tip and extends further along the opposing side of the distal inlet end portion in a longitudinal direction. The inflatable retention member is formed by said curved internal cavity.
