Abstract
A male urinary collection catheter kit which includes a catheter which has a flexible sheath which is placed in a leaktight manner onto a penis and which is rolled up prior to being placed on the penis, a tubular-shaped part which receives the glans of the penis and which is connected to the sheath and a tube in which urine is removed and which is connected to the sheath. There is also an applicator which has a ring, the diameter of which may be varied so that it can be slipped over the tubular-shaped part, then the diameter can be reduced until the ring is caught behind the glans, then the diameter can be maintained while the virga of the penis is pulled upon to cause it to extend so that the flexible sheath can be unrolled over the penis and then the diameter can be spontaneously increased so that the applicator can be removed from the catheter.
