A catheter assembly with a catheter and a package for a catheter are
provided. The package and catheter is provided with a seal that restricts
passage of fluid between the package and the catheter. The assembly
allows the catheter to be used without complete removal from the package.
During urination, the assembly prevents the flow of urine from the outlet
of the catheter and back through the package in a direction towards the
user of the catheter. The seal allows the catheter to be dispensed from
the package while the sealing is maintained and the assembly thus allows
non-contaminated insertion and use of the catheter while the catheter is
partly maintained in the package.
