The present disclosure relates to a packaged urinary catheter assembly and method of using the packaged urinary catheter assembly. The catheter assembly includes a conduit having a proximal end and a distal end. The distal end includes at least one aperture for receiving fluid from a patient. The conduit is contained within a sleeve having a length, a width, and a size configured to receive the catheter. According to one embodiment, the conduit and the sleeve may be arranged in a helical coil. The outer surface of the conduit may have a lubricious and/or an antimicrobial coating.

A rope dispensing apparatus for rapidly dispensing a continuous rope from a compressed rope cartridge. The apparatus includes a canister for storage of the rope cartridge, a resealable lid with an opening for passing the rope from the cartridge out of the canister through the lid, and a replaceable cutting mechanism for cutting the rope when a desired length has been dispensed. Preferably, the rope cartridge is shrink-wrapped to fit within the canister and keep the rope from unraveling while therein.
