Summary: | PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a ready to use urinary catheter assembly for direct insertion in the urethraand in a substantially sterile condition. SOLUTION: The urinary catheter assembly comprises a urinary catheter 1 having on at least a part of its surface a hydrophilic surface layer 6 intended to produce a low-friction surface character of the catheter by treatment with a liquid swelling medium prior to use of the catheter and a catheter package 7 having a cavity 11 for accommodation of the catheter 1. The package 7 is formed of walls of a gas impermeable material and accommodating the liquid swelling medium or a catheter pretreated therewith for long time preservation of the low-friction surface character and provision of a ready-to-use catheter assembly.
