Urinary catheterisation aid

1. A urinary catheterization aid comprising: a handle integrated with an insertion guide, the handle having a distal end, a handle section extending from the distal end of the handle to the insertion guide, and the insertion guide extending from the handle section to a proximal end of the insertion guide; a guiding channel formed to extend through the urinary catheterization aid from the distal end of the handle through the proximal end of the insertion guide, where the guiding channel is adapted to guide an intermittent urinary catheter through the guiding channel and out of the proximal end of the insertion guide; a bend section formed between the handle section of the handle and the insertion guide, with the bend section curved at a first angle in a range from 45 degrees to 135 degrees; an outlet channel extending from the guiding channel to a drainage opening formed at an outer surface of the urinary catheterization aid; and the intermittent urinary catheter inserted into the guiding channel, with the intermittent urinary catheter provided with at least one drain hole at a middle portion of the intermittent urinary catheter to allow urine to exit the intermittent urinary catheter through the at least one drain hole and to exit the urinary catheterization aid through the drainage opening.

2. The urinary catheterization aid according to claim 1 , wherein the bend section formed between the handle section of the handle and the insertion guide is approximately 90 degrees.

3. The urinary catheterization aid according to claim 1 , wherein the outlet channel extends at a second angle from the guiding channel, the second angle between the outlet channel and the guiding channel in a range from 90 degrees to 180 degrees.

4. The urinary catheterization aid according to claim 1 , wherein the outlet channel extends at an angle from the guiding channel of approximately 135 degrees.

5. The urinary catheterization aid according to claim 1 , further comprising a seal provided in the distal end of the handle, wherein the seal is adapted to prevent urine from exiting the distal end of the handle.

6. The urinary catheterization aid according to claim 1 , wherein the bend section is continuously curved along a length of the handle section and the insertion guide.

7. The urinary catheterization aid according to claim 1 , wherein the drainage opening is formed in the bend section and the outlet channel communicating between the guiding channel and the drainage opening.

8. The urinary catheterization aid according to claim 1 , wherein the intermittent urinary catheter is inserted into the guiding channel, with intermittent urinary catheter provided with an insertion end that is movable into and out of the proximal end of the insertion guide and a distal end, with a catheter handle attached to the distal end of the intermittent urinary catheter.

9. The urinary catheterization aid according to claim 1 , wherein the intermittent urinary catheter is inserted into the guiding channel; wherein the intermittent urinary catheter comprises a distal end opposite of an insertion end that is movable into and out of the proximal end of the insertion guide; wherein the intermittent urinary catheter includes a middle portion located between the distal end and the insertion end, with the drain hole formed in the middle portion and a urine entrance hole located between the drain hole and the insertion end.

10. The urinary catheterization aid according to claim 1 , wherein the first angle is a permanently formed angle in the range from 45 degrees to 135 degrees.

11. The urinary catheterization aid according to claim 1 , wherein the first angle is a permanently formed angle in the range from 45 degrees to 135 degrees, and the bend section is adapted to allow:

a user to insert the urinary in a first direction into the distal end of the handle, deflection of the urinary

catheter along the permanently formed angle to a second direction, and

an exit of the urinary catheter out of the proximal end of the insertion guide in the second direction and into a urethra of the user.
