Summary:A device for cleaning (the interior wall of a catheter (20) has a cleaning lumen (402) and a non-inflatable removal element comprising a sliding collar (408) that has a first location as the cleaning lumen advances and a second location as the cleaning lumen retracts within the catheter. A sliding collar has a first position when unconstrained and a second position when within the catheter. The removal element self-positions the device concentrically within the catheter. Suction is desirably applied to the cleaning lumen during use. Un dispositivo para la limpieza de la pared interior de un catéter (20) tiene un lumen de limpieza (402) y un elemento de remoción no inflable que comprende un collar deslizable (408) que tiene una primera ubicación a medida que el lumen de limpieza avanza y una segunda ubicación a medida que el lumen de limpieza se retrae dentro del catéter. Un collar deslizable tiene una primera posición cuando no está restringido y una segunda posición cuando se encuentra dentro del catéter. El elemento de remoción coloca automáticamente el dispositivo concéntricamente dentro del catéter. Deseablemente, se aplica succión al lumen de limpieza durante su utilización.
