Abstract
A catheter grip and catheter assembly are provided. The catheter grip includes a body portion adapted to extend circumferentially around a catheter shaft of the catheter assembly to facilitate gripping of the catheter shaft by a user. The catheter grip also includes a head portion through which the catheter shaft can be fed and a biasing mechanism. The biasing mechanism biases the body portion and the head portion away from one another.
