A reusable urinary catheter assembly comprises a storage container defining a cavity, a hydration liquid and a reusable urinary catheter. The hydration liquid comprises a disinfection medium and a hydrophilic polymer, and wherein the viscosity of the hydration liquid is 40 cP or lower. The reusable urinary catheter includes a shaft, wherein at least a part of the shaft is provided with a hydrophilic surface. During storage, the shaft is enclosed within the cavity in a storage position, wherein the hydration fluid hydrates and regenerates the hydrophilic surface and disinfects the catheter. The catheter is configured to be repeatedly inserted into and 10removed from the storage container. |
