A device for catheterization of the male urethra, especially in the case of traumatic rupture, comprises two substantially circular parts (1, 2) of unequal length which are connected at one of their ends with a hinge joint (8, 9). The devices's shortest part (2) is passed up through the urethra from the outside, while the longest part (1) is inserted through an opening above the pubic bone, through the bladder and into engagement with the part (2), in such a manner that the parts (1, 2) form a closed rind and can be locked in this position. The device according to the invention can be used to bring the two ends of a ruptured urethra into a position which allows atraumatic catheterization of the urethra. |
