A catheter assembly comprising a urinary catheter having a first lumen having a first cross sectional diameter, where the tubular member has at least a first longitudinal rigidity a guide having an elongated body where the guide is adapted to be inserted coaxially into a lumen of the urinary catheter to increase the rigidity of the catheter assembly during insertion of the catheter, wherein the proximal end of the guide is provided with a bendable section where the curvature of the section may be changed from a first state where the section is extends substantially parallel the longitudinal axis of the guide and a second state where the section bends in a radial direction away from the longitudinal axis, where the bendable section is connected to a control section to control the bending of the bendable section.
