Abstract:

A catheter assembly () includes drain tubing () extending from a catheter connector () to a drain bag (). The drain tubing () includes a first elongated section (), a helical section (), and a second elongated section (). The helical section () can be configured to be expanding and self-retracting, thereby eliminating dependent loops that lead to pooled fluids or air-fluid locks. A hanger () can be configured with a mechanical connection to help align and stiffen the drain tubing (). A valve () can be color-coded to indicate whether it is open or closed.
