Abstract
A catheter assembly including curved urinary catheter and a similarly curved housing for holding and carrying the same are disclosed. A catheter subassembly may be removed from the housing and mounted onto the handle to provide the catheter assembly in an extended deployed condition. The insertable portion of the catheter is curved in a way that compliments the curvature of the female urethra.
