  • a catheter set, comprising;

    a connector including a wall structure defining an internal cavity, said connector having a first end configured to be placed in fluid communication with a urinary catheter, said connector having a second end configured to mate with an adapter or a syringe; and

    a resealable valve located in said internal cavity movable between an open position and a closed position, said resealable valve in said closed position being configured to prevent fluid flow in a direction from said first end to said second end and in said closed position being adapted to prevent fluid flow in a direction from said second end to said first end, said resealable valve being adapted to be moved into said open position by insertion of an adapter into the second end of said connector, said resealable valve in said open position being adapted to allow fluid flow from the catheter into an adapter, said resealable valve further being adapted to be moved into said open position by insertion of a syringe into the second end of said connector, said resealable valve in said open position being adapted to allow fluid flow from a syringe into the catheter;

    a collection set adapted to be removably coupled to the catheter set, the collection set comprising;

    an adapter configured to mate with the connector of the catheter set and configured to permit fluid flow through said adapter; and

    a one-way valve proximate the adapter;
