A catheter device comprising a urine collection receptacle having a cap, a nozzle formed in the cap, a catheter tube adapted to extend through the aperture to deliver fluid to the urine collection receptacle, and means for releasably securing the catheter tube to the nozzle. The securing means allows the administering medical personnel to insert the catheter tube into the urine collection receptacle and remove the catheter tube from the receptacle without contacting directly the catheter tube. A label is pre-applied to the urine collection receptacle to permit marking for easy identification. |

DETAILED DESCRIPTION In accordance with these and other objects, a catheter device is provided in the form of a urine collection receptacle, a catheter tube adapted to deliver fluid into the urine collection receptacle, and means, in the form of an adapter, for releasably and tightly securing the catheter tube to the urine collection receptacle.
The catheter tube extends through the adapter, which fits over the nozzle on the urine collection receptacle.
By grasping the adapter and thus avoiding direct contact with the catheter tube, administering medical personnel can insert the catheter tube into the urine collection receptacle.
Likewise, after the catheter tube has been secured to the collection receptacle, the catheter tube can be inserted into the patient without touching the catheter tube itself by grasping the adapter.
After catheterization is complete, the catheter can be removed from the patient by grasping the adapter and pulling the adapter and catheter tube from the patient.
The catheter tube can then be removed from the urine collection receptacle without touching the catheter tube itself.
The specific construction and dimensions of the adapter may vary depending on the type of urine collection receptacle employed.
For example, an embodiment of an adapter that may be used with the catheter device of May et al.
may comprise an upper cylindrical portion and a lower rectangular base.
The cylindrical portion has a central bore to receive the catheter tube, and the base portion has a central cavity to receive the nozzle.
In addition, if desired, the outside of the receptacle may be treated to provide a blank label.
This treatment may be applied by silkscreen, paint or the like and preferably is white.
The administering medical personnel may write or otherwise mark identifying or other information on the label.
