Abstract
A catheter assembly comprising a urinary catheter and a package with flexible walls is provided. Coupling means in form of a first coupling member on the catheter and a second coupling member on the package is further provided. The coupling means are in form of a protrusion or depression on the second coupling member and a matching depression or protrusion on the first coupling member. The user may move the catheter in and out of the package without touching the catheter itself, thus eliminating or minimizing the risk of contamination of the catheter.
