A novel urinary catheter having an helicoidally threaded , screw shaped tip to facilitate insertion of the catheter tip by rotation into the bladder, especially useful in situation of difficult passage and entry into the bladder through a stenotic prostatic urethra. The operator instead of advancing the catheter by axial loading as it is presently done with ordinary catheters will rotate the urinary catheter along its longitudinal axis . Rotation of the catheter is transmitted to its specially designed screw shaped tip facilitating its engagement, advancement and insertion into the bladder through a stenotic segment of the urethral canal.
