Abstract

See full text

A transurethral catheter kit containing a balloon catheter and a syringe assembly adapted for inflation of the balloon. The syringe assembly includes a syringe and a nozzle incorporating a narrow bore proximal to a pressure relief valve. The narrow bore serves to resist the flow of fluid between the syringe and the balloon, thereby avoiding a rapid pressure increase in the balloon that can result in damage to tissues or premature activation of the pressure relief valve. Also provided is a method for correctly placing a transurethral balloon catheter in a patient using the kit.
