Abstract (en)

The catheter (1) includes a metallic cannula (2) insertable in a sheath (8) having two different internal diameters (10,11) for the insertion of two different types of tubes for frozen semen. An adapter is coupleable to the cannula (2) for securing the cannula (2) to the sheath (8) when the catheter (1) is used as a syringe. A grip terminal (4) is provided with a toroidal gasket for providing a seal on the cannula (2) ends and has, at one end, a frustum-shaped configuration (16) for securing the ends of the sheath (8) and, at the other end, a coupling (18) for a syringe. A tube (5) for the introduction of frozen semen, which has a grip disk (23) at one end, has a diameter (24) substantially equal to the larger-diameter bore (11) of the cannula, and a terminal portion (25) having a diameter substantially equal to that of the smaller-diameter bore (10) of the cannula. <IMAGE>
