Wrapped catheter, comprising pulling element for hygienic removal from cover and easy insertion

摘要

The catheter (10) is sterilely wrapped in plastic (2) and can be removed after a front segment (3) of the packaging (2) is broken off at the predetermined breaking line (5). A pulling string (20) is attached to the distal end (23) of the catheter (10) and pushed through a guide element (15) in order to lift the device (10) from the wrapper (2) without any danger of touching it incidentally. A ring (27, 29) at the upper end of the string (20) facilitates an easy operation.
