A urinary catheter (1) having a relatively narrow shaft (3) with a pointed distal end part (4) for introduction into the urethra and arrangement of the distal end part within the bladder, and a proximal end part formed by a terminal member (6) of larger cross-sectional dimensions than the shaft is accommodated in a catheter package (2) having walls of a flexible foil material. At a distal end part (2c) of the package, opposed local sections define a relatively narrow gateway (2d) allowing passage of said shaft (3), but forming a liquid seal when engaged by said terminal member (6). The distal end part as well as an opposite proximal end part (2a) are separable from an intermediate section (2b) of the package by local opening means (8, 9; 14, 15) permitting opening of the package. |
