    [0001] The invention relates to a urinary catheter assembly comprising an intermittent urinary catheter and a catheter package comprising an elongated tubular member. The package has a side opening to remove the catheter. BACKGROUND
    [0002] Catheters to drain the urinary bladder are increasingly used for intermittent catheterization. Intermittent catheters are often used by people who suffer from urinary incontinence or by people who have poor control or no control in voluntary urination, such as paraplegics or quadriplegics and have to use catheters to empty the urinary bladder.
    [0003] There are a number of different variations of intermittent catheter sets, where the catheter types are typically both hydrogel-lubricated catheters and catheters that are provided with a friction-reducing hydrophilic surface coating. The choice of catheter sets varies from user to user, in which some prefer to use a simple catheter set, in which the catheter is supplied in a package and for immediate use or needs only activation or lubrication before use. Others prefer to use a catheter set, in which the catheter is provided with a urine bag, so the user does not need to access the urine removal facilities during catheterization, but can collect the urine inside the urine bag and remove the subsequently used set . DESCRIPTION OF RELATED TECHNIQUE
    [0004] A recent development within field intermittent catheters is to provide a catheter for immediate use that is distinct and easy to use, as revealed, for example, in the document in WO 03/002179. However, most intermittent catheter users still use conventional full-length catheters to empty their bladder.
    [0005] Conventional full-length catheters for immediate use, such as SpeediCath ™, come in catheter packs that have at least two layered gas-impermeable blades that are welded along the peripheral edges to ensure that the catheter and agent hydrophilic swellings are kept in a condition of immediate use for the life of the product. The packages are arranged so that the user has to grab each blade and separate the blades along the welded edge to open the package. In some cases, this can be difficult for users who have low hand or finger dexterity resulting in the blades being separated more than necessary which can induce the spillage of the hydrophilic swelling agent that is present in the package.
    [0006] Another type of catheter set is disclosed in the document in WO 00/30575, which is a urinary catheter set comprising a urinary catheter and a flexible tubular catheter package comprising a hose member that tightly surrounds the catheter, where the hose member is opened at the proximal end and / or at the distal end to allow retraction of the catheter from the package, and where the parts of the package can be used as an applicator to insert the catheter. When this package is used as an immediate use catheter set, the hose member is filled with a hydrophilic swelling medium, which must be drained from the package before use in order to reduce the risk of spillage during use. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
    [0007] The present invention relates to an intermittent urinary catheter assembly that has an intermittent urinary catheter stored in a package. The package is made of a tubular material and has a side opening to remove the catheter from the package. The side opening provides an advantage when the liquid or hydrogel is stored in the package, due to the fact that it allows the user to remove the catheter without spilling the stored content. Furthermore, it provides a predefined opening, which ensures that the package is only opened there. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
    [0008] In a first aspect, the invention relates to an intermittent urinary catheter assembly comprising: an intermittent urinary catheter comprising a catheter tube having a proximal end and a distal end, where the proximal end comprises a catheter tip and the distal end comprises a catheter connector, and a catheter pack to accommodate the intermittent urinary catheter in which the pack has a generally elongated shape that has a proximal end and a distal end and is made of a tubular material, where the package comprises a cavity to accommodate at least the insertable part of the catheter tube, where the catheter package is provided with an opening arranged in a predefined area on a side wall of the tubular material to allow the catheter to be extracted from the package .
    [0009] A urinary catheter assembly as described has the advantage that the predefined area on the side wall of the tubular material is prepared in such a way that the catheter can be extracted from the catheter package through the predefined opening area that ensures that the user does not unintentionally damage the package during opening, resulting in spills of lubricant or hydrophilic swelling medium. The predefined opening area ensures that the package is opened in the manner intended by the package manufacturer, and the risk of spilling the stored content and contamination of the catheter is significantly reduced.
    [00010] Then, when a proximal end of an element of the invention is mentioned, the indication is given to the end adapted for insertion. Where the distal end of an element is referred to, the indication is given to the end opposite the insertion end. In other words, the proximal end is the end closest to the user, when the catheter must be inserted and the distal end is the opposite end - the end most distant from the user when the catheter must be inserted. The same definitions apply to the package - the proximal end is the end that stores the proximal end of the catheter and the distal end is the opposite end.
    [00011] The longitudinal direction is distal to the proximal end. The transverse direction is the direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction, which corresponds to the direction through the axis of the catheter.
    [00012] The catheter described in this application should be used as an intermittent urinary catheter.
    [00013] The catheter comprises a main tubular part with an internal lumen that extends from the distal end to the proximal end. The tip is positioned at the proximal end of the catheter and is provided as a rounded closed end of the tube that forms the main part of the catheter. The catheter is provided with one or more eyelets that allow urine to pass from the external surface of the catheter tube to the internal lumen of the catheter. The catheter may comprise a connector at the distal end and may, in one embodiment, comprise an enlarged end of the catheter so that the diameter of the connector increases in relation to the tubular part. The catheter may also comprise a handle at the distal end, which is of a length that allows the user to manipulate the catheter.
    [00014] Generally, the catheters have sizes from 6 FR to 24 FR.
    [00015] The catheters of this invention can, before use, be provided with a hydrophilic coating in order to provide a low friction insertion. The hydrophilic coating can be provided only on the insertable part of the catheter. The hydrophilic surface coating is the type that, when hydrated or swollen using a swelling medium, reduces friction in the catheter's surface area that is intended to be inserted into a user's urinary channel that corresponds to the catheter's insertable part .
    [00016] An intermittent hydrophilic catheter differs from a permanent catheter in that the hydrophilic surface coating of such a catheter is not suitable for permanent use, due to the fact that the surface coating tends to adhere inside the mucosa of the urethra if left inside the body for a period exceeding 5 to 20 minutes, due to the hydrophilic coating transformation from being highly lubricated when completely moistened (95% by weight of water) to being adhesive when the hydration level of the coating is reduced ( <75% by weight of water).
    [00017] In the present invention, the term "predefined area on a sidewall" means that the opening is positioned in an area that is radial to a geometric axis defined by the longitudinal geometric axis of the package when extended. The predefined area on the side wall can be seen to be proximal to the distal end of the tubular member and distal to the proximal end of the tubular member, which means that the opening does not comprise the distal or proximal ends of the tubular member. Another way to describe this is that the opening is a side opening.
    [00018] In one embodiment of the present invention, the catheter package may comprise a means for activating the hydrophilic surface coating of the catheter. The activation medium can be a water-based substance, such as sterile water, saline, or any water-based liquid. In addition, the activation means may be in the form of a vapor contribution material, such as a sponge, moistened woven or non-woven material comprising a vapor contribution liquid. By introducing a steam contribution material into the package, the steam will hydrate the hydrophilic coating over time which ensures that the coating is activated and that the hydrophilic coating provides a low friction surface for the catheter.
    [00019] In one embodiment of the present invention, the tubular material of the package may have walls made from gas-impermeable material. Such an embodiment can be advantageous in that the package contains a hydrogel-lubricated catheter, which ensures that the hydrogel does not dry out completely during the life of the catheter assembly. In addition, the gas-impermeable material of the package is advantageous if the catheter assembly is supplied as a catheter assembly for immediate use, in which the catheter is provided with a hydrophilic surface coating and the coating is activated in production of the or subsequent to it. An immediate use catheter assembly of this type requires that the hydrophilic surface coating be activated during the production process of the catheter assembly and be kept activated for at least the product's life. The gas-impermeable material in the package is used to ensure that the liquid or vapor swelling medium contained in the package does not evaporate from the package and keeps the catheter in a state of immediate use. The gas-impermeable material for the package or for the side walls of the package can be of the type disclosed in Danish patent applications in PA 2010 70351 and PA 2010 70350, which are incorporated by reference in this document.
    [00020] In an embodiment of the present invention, the opening in the side wall of the package can be a through opening in the package, in which the material of the predefined area has been removed from the side wall of the package, cutting, stamping, welding, and so on. . In this way, the through opening can, therefore, outline the predefined area to which the user can extract the catheter.
    [00021] In an embodiment of the present invention, the opening in the predefined area can be a line of weakness along the periphery of the predefined area. This means that the opening is defined by the weakening line, and when the user intends to remove the catheter from the package, the user can impose pulling or pushing force on the material within the area that is defined by the weakening line, which allows the line of weakening separate the material from the tubular member or the package.
    [00022] The through opening, as described above, can be closed by a release tab. The release tab can be attached to the package during manufacture and ensures that the contents of the catheter package are maintained inside the catheter package during storage. The release tab may be attached to the periphery of the through opening on the outer surface of the tubular member and / or in surrounding areas, depending on how the tab is to be released. The flap can be made of a material impermeable to liquid and gas, ensuring that when the flap is attached to the package in its closed position, any liquid or lubricant disposed inside the package will not evaporate through the flap. In this way, the catheter is kept lubricated or hydrated hydrophilic catheters within the package for the entire life of the catheter assembly.
    [00023] The release tab can alternatively be attached to the package in an adhesive manner when the package is in its closed position, or kept attached to the package in any suitable form. The seal between the flap and the package can be impermeable to liquid and gas, ensuring that these liquids or gases do not escape the package, when closed, in the sealing area between the flap and the package.
    [00024] The release tab can be attached to the package by having at least two different clamping forces, so that when the tab is pulled by the user, part of the tab will release from the package while another part of the tab will remain in place . This means that when the user opens the package by pulling on one end of the tab, the fastening means that is close to the end that is pulled is fixed at a lower force than the opposite end. This ensures that when the flap is pulled from the opening of the package, the opposite end will remain attached to the package. The clamping force of the releasable area of the releasable flap can be in the range 1 to 20N, which means that if the flap is pulled with such a force in a direction away from the package, the predefined flap release area will allow the flap separate from the package. The flap's permanent fixation area can have a force in the range of more than 20N, which means that even though the flap is pulled with considerable force, the flap's permanent fixation area will not separate from the package, and the flap will remain fixed to the package. In a different embodiment, the flap can be attached to the package in such a way that the entire flap will be released from the package when it is pulled from the package, that is, having the entire attachment area arranged as a release area.
    [00025] The opening in the catheter package can be provided in the form of a closed line format, where the opening, when the catheter package has been opened by the user, is an area on the side wall where a portion of the material has been removed from the side wall to allow access to the internal cavity of the catheter package or tubular member. The closed line shape can include a circle, an ellipse, a n-shaped polygon (n> 2) or any other shape suitable for opening.
    [00026] In an embodiment of the present invention, the opening in the catheter package can additionally be provided with a gap, which allows the peripheral walls of the opening to be folded from the predefined shape of the opening, where the gap ensures that the material the side wall does not restrict the fold of the peripheral walls.
    [00027] In an embodiment of the present invention, the opening in the catheter package is arranged so that the tubular member can be folded from the longitudinal geometric axis of the tubular member through the transverse area of the tubular member comprising the opening. This means that a portion of the tubular member can be folded back to allow improved access to the catheter disposed within the package. This means that extraction of the catheter from the package will be easier for the user, as the folded portion will expose the inner lumen of the tubular member through the opening, and the user can grab the catheter through, for example, its connector along the longitudinal geometric axis of the catheter package or tubular member.
    [00028] In one embodiment of the present invention, the opening in the catheter package defines an area of the tubular member in which the material is removed from the side wall of the tubular member in an area defining more than 180 degrees of a transverse area of the tubular member. This means that when looking at a cross section of the tubular member, the opening is cut in an area of more than 50% of the viewed cross section. In this way, when the package is opened, and the tubular member is bent or curved from its longitudinal geometric axis, the curved or bent part will fit through the remaining material that is less than 50% of the seen cross-sectional area, due to the curvature of the tubular member. The curvature of the tubular member will thus be reversed during folding and the inverted curvature will ensure that the fold does not fit in its original unfolded position, but will be in its original substantially folded position. This means that the opening in the side wall of the catheter package will provide a bistable portion, which allows a portion of the tubular member to be maneuvered from its longitudinal geometric axis, with the remaining portion thus defining the longitudinal geometric axis, in a fold that it is stable in its folded position. Subsequently, the folded portion can be maneuvered back towards the longitudinal geometric axis of the tubular member and maintain its position there. This bistable arrangement allows the tubular member to be moved in and from its folded position, according to the user's needs.
    [00029] In an embodiment of the present invention, the tubular member may be provided with a cover that can be opened at an end that is distal to the opening of the catheter package. This means that when the catheter is removed from its package, the catheter connector can be inserted into the opening in the side wall of the tubular member. Upon opening the end cap, the tubular member can be used as an extension to the catheter. In this way, when the user inserts the catheter into the urethra and urinary bladder, and drains the bladder, urine will flow through the catheter and into the tubular member through the catheter connector that is inserted at the opening of the package. The openable cover at one end of the pack will allow urine to flow from the end portion of the pack when the cover has been opened. While the catheter assembly is in its storage position, the openable cover is closed impermeably to liquid and gas next to the remaining parts of the package, so that the contents of the package are protected from contamination from outside sources. This ensures that the contents of the package cannot escape from the package through evaporation or leakage.
    [00030] In one embodiment of the present invention, the catheter can be disposed within the catheter package that has the catheter connector aligned with the opening, along the longitudinal geometric axis of the catheter package. This means that when the package is opened, the user can access the catheter connector through the opening in the side wall of the tubular member. In this way, the user can grasp the connector directly, and remove the catheter from the package while grasping the connector without having to contact the insertable part of the catheter. In this way, the risk of contamination of the catheter during extraction is minimized.
    [00031] In an embodiment of the present invention, the catheter connector can be fixed in a position relative to the opening of the catheter package. This means that when the user opens the package, the catheter connector can remain in an ideal position relative to the opening that allows the user to access the connector in an optimal manner. This reduces the risk that the connector will move in relation to the opening, during production and / or storage of the catheter assembly. When the catheter assembly is to be used, the connector will be positioned so that the user can easily access the connector through the opening. If the connector and / or the catheter moves inside the package during production and / or storage of the catheter assembly, the connector may move in a position where the user may have difficulty accessing the connector through opening the package . The user may then have to perform additional maneuvering of the package to have the connector in an extractable position. By fixing the catheter connection in position, it is guaranteed that the connector maintains its position during storage, production and / or use, so that the user knows that he or she will have no difficulty in extracting the catheter of your package.
    [00032] In one embodiment of the present invention, the tubular member may be provided with an area of the package that has a cross-sectional area that is larger than the cross-sectional area of the remaining parts of the package. This large cross-sectional area can be arranged to accommodate the catheter connector, which conventionally has a larger outside diameter than the remaining parts of the catheter. This means that the inner surface diameter of the package or tubular member can be kept slightly larger than the insertable part of the catheter. Thus, in case the catheter is a hydrophilic catheter, the amount of swelling medium can be kept to a minimum without having the risk that the hydrophilic catheter will dry out completely during storage.
    [00033] In one embodiment of the present invention, a portion of the external surface of the catheter connector may have a cross-sectional area that is equal to or greater than a portion of the cross-sectional area of an internal surface of the tubular member. The catheter comprising the catheter connector can be arranged within the package in which the catheter connector and the inner surface of the tubular member provide a liquid-tight seal. This means that when the catheter assembly is produced and the catheter is disposed within the package, a swelling medium for hydrophilic catheters can be disposed on one side of the liquid-tight seal. The part of the catheter and / or connector that is disposed on the opposite side of the liquid-tight seal can be kept in a substantially dry state. The advantage of this arrangement is that the user can grasp a dry catheter connector, in which no means of swelling or gel will contaminate the user's fingers, thus maintaining greater cleaning during the extraction and / or use of the catheter.

Figure 2 illustrates a cross-sectional view of a catheter assembly as in Figure 1 through II-II in Figure 1. Figure 3 illustrates a cross-sectional view of a catheter assembly as shown in Figure 2 taken through geometric axis III-III .

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWING
    [00034] Figure 1 shows a top perspective view of a catheter assembly 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention, wherein the catheter assembly 1 comprises a catheter 2 and a catheter package 3, wherein the catheter 2 is disposed within the catheter package 3. The catheter 2 comprises a catheter connector 4 and a catheter tube 5, wherein the proximal end 6 of the catheter tube 5 comprises an insertable catheter tip 7, which closes the lumen inside of catheter tube 5. Catheter tube 5 has at least one eyelet (not shown, 19, Figure 2) on the side wall to allow urine to enter the inner lumen of catheter tube 5.
    [00035] Catheter 2 is disposed inside the catheter package 3, where the package 3 is made of a tubular material that has a proximal end 8 and a distal end 9. During production, the distal end 9 can be closed using a solder 10, which welds the side wall of the distal end 9 to provide a liquid and gas impermeable cover. During production, the proximal end 8 of the catheter package 3 is in this closed modality with the use of an openable cover 11 which, in its closed state, during packaging and storage, provides a liquid and gas impermeable cover, and in its open state, during use, provides an opening in the inner lumen of catheter pack 3, which allows the contents of catheter pack 3 to be drained into pack 3.
    [00036] The catheter package 3 is formed from a tubular member, in which a distal part 12 of the package 3 can have an increased diameter, in order to allow the catheter connector 4 to fit inside the package 3, while a proximal part 13 of the catheter package 3 has a transverse diameter that is larger than the diameter of the distal part 12, so that the proximal part 13 has an internal diameter that is slightly larger than the outside diameter of the catheter tube 5 The increase in diameter between the proximal part 13 and the distal part 12 can occur at a junction 14, where the junction 14 can ensure that the catheter connector may not be maneuvered in a proximal direction that passes the junction 14.
    [00037] An opening 15 can be provided in the distal part 12 of the catheter package 3, where the opening provides access from the outside to the inner lumen 16 of the catheter package 3. The opening 15 can be cut from the side wall of the catheter. catheter package 3, creating a defined opening 15, which has a peripheral edge 18 that defines opening 15. Before using the catheter, a user can hold catheter connector 4 and pull catheter 2 through its connector 4 its package 3 through the opening 15 in the side wall 17 of the catheter package.
    [00038] Figure 2 shows a cross-sectional view of the catheter assembly in Figure 1, where eyelet 19 of catheter 2 is shown in proximity to its proximal end 6.
    [00039] Figure 3a shows a cross-sectional view of the catheter package in Figure 2, in which the peripheral edge 18 of the opening 15 is cut in the side wall 20 of the catheter package 3. It may be preferred that the opening is cut in the side wall 20 such that the material cut from the opening is more than 50% of the circumference of the catheter package, leaving the side wall material that is less than 50% in diameter as shown by measurement D. This means that the material removed , defines a transverse area that is in excess of 180 degrees, as shown by angle α. Removing more than 50% of the material, the distal end 9 of the catheter package can be folded from the longitudinal geometric axis A (Figure 2) of the catheter package, at the point where most of the material has been removed from the side wall of the package , allowing the side wall to bend itself creating a bistable fold 21 of the catheter package, as shown in Figures 3b and 4b.
    [00040] Figure 4a shows the distal part 12 of the catheter package 3, where the distal part 12 houses the catheter connector (not shown). In this Figure, the distal part 12 is in its unfolded configuration, where the opening 15 is arranged on the side wall of the package 3 and the distal end 9 of the catheter package is arranged along the longitudinal geometric axis A of the catheter package.
    [00041] Figure 4b shows when the distal end 9 of the catheter package was pushed or pulled from the longitudinal geometric axis A and the distal end was bent or folded back, in a direction away from the opening 15. When the opening defines an area where more than 180 degrees of material has been removed, as shown in Figure 3a, the side walls fold outward and lock the distal end 9 in its folded position, away from the longitudinal geometric axis A. Bending the distal end 9 allows the user has easier access to the catheter connector, which is located inside the inner lumen of the catheter package 3. The user can easily hold or access the catheter connector and pull the catheter from the package in a direction away from the package along longitudinal axis of the package.
    [00042] Figure 5 is a top view of the proximal part 12 of the catheter package 3. The proximal part was arranged with a release tab 22, which closes the opening 15 of the package and is attached to the package around the periphery of the opening 15. The release tab 22 can be attached to the package using a first fixing means 23 and a second fixing means 24. The first fixing means 23 is fixing the tab to close the opening 15 to ensure that the package 3 it is impermeable to liquid and gas, while the second fixing means 24 fixes the flap 22 along a fixation similar to the hinge 25 located at the distal end 26 of the flap 22. The latter ensures that when the flap is removed from the periphery of the opening 15, the second fixation means ensures that the flap is not completely removed from the package, and maintains its fixation along its fixation similar to joint 25 at the distal end 9 of the catheter package 3.
    [00043] The removable flap 22 can be provided with a gripping means 27 which is at the proximal end 29 of the flap, and where the proximal end 29 of the flap is not attached to the package 3, which allows the proximal end of the flap 22 pulled from the surface of the package 3 without exerting substantial force. The gripping means 27 can be in the form of an elongated portion or as shown in Figure 5 in the form of an opening 28 into which the user can insert a finger, in order to pull the release tab 22 of the package in a radial direction away from the package.
