摘要：
A protective catheter tip (78) has a generally tubular body portion (84) defining an interior cavity (82). The proximal end of a urinary catheter (92) is at least partially received within the protective tip, with the protective tip being retained on the urinary catheter without the need for a sleeve connecting the protective tip and the catheter. The protective tip may include a projection (80, 80a) received within a draining hole or eye (90, 90a) at the proximal end of the catheter to retain the protective tip on the catheter. The protective tip (48) may instead include one or more projections (58) that apply a frictional force to an outer surface of the catheter to retain the protective tip on the catheter. The protective tip (60) may instead be retained on the catheter (62) by a tether (66) extending between the protective tip and a distal end of the catheter. The protective tip (104) may also be provided in two pieces (106, 108).
