Abstract
The catheter shape-retaining cover includes an elongated tubular member having a predetermined non-linear shape and one or more inner lumens to receive a distal tip of a catheter. A tubular dispenser for the catheter may be attached to the elongated tubular member. A shaped mandrel may be placed in a first inner lumen of the sheath. The assembly may be heated to a temperature that makes the distal tip of the catheter become more plastic, and then cooled to pre-set the shape of the distal tip of the catheter. The distal tip of the catheter also may be hydrated in an inner lumen of the sheath, and the catheter may be hydrated in the tubular dispenser.
