Abstract
A urinary catheter wetting apparatus () has a chamber defined by a forward section () opposite to a rearward section () each having an aperture () of which are axially aligned. A catheter tube is connected to a connector (), the latter of which spans the chamber and initially seals the two apertures. The connector is slideable through the first facial surface () of forward section and the second end wall () of the rearward section so the catheter tube can be drawn through the chamber. A wetting applicator () holding a wetting agent is disposed in the chamber. Upon use, the connector passes through the chamber, applying pressure to the wetting applicator, thereby releasing the wetting agent from the wetting applicator and onto the catheter tube as it follows the connector through the chamber.
