Abstract

A catheter assembly includes a catheter attached to a connector and a package. The catheter has a proximal end sized for insertion into a bladder though a urethra and a distal end opposite of the proximal end. The connector is attached to the distal end of the catheter. The package is sized to receive the catheter and the connector, with the package including an opening sized for removal of the catheter and the connector from the package. A tab is placed over the opening of the package to seal the catheter and the connector inside of the package. An extractor has a first portion connected to the tab and a second portion coupled to the catheter proximal of the connector.
