Abstract
A catheter is disclosed that includes an elongated shaft, an insertable end formed in or connected to one end of the elongated shaft, and a discharge end formed in or connected to the opposite end of the elongated shaft. Further, the catheter includes an insertion aid that at least partly encircles the discharge end, and is integrally and releasably connected to the discharge end. The catheter can be easily produced, and at the same time, the insertion aid may easily be removed for use as an insertion aid when using the catheter.
