Port for a catheter

Abstract

The invention relates to a port for a catheter comprising a housing (10, 11), a chamber (120) disposed in the housing (10, 11) in order to accommodate a medical active substance, a connecting piece (122) for connection of a catheter (2), in order to produce a flow connection between the chamber (120) and the catheter (2), and at least one lever (14, 15) which is mounted pivotably about a pivot axis (102, 103) of the housing (10, 11), wherein the at least one lever (14, 15) is designed such that, in a first pivot position, the lever allows application of the catheter (2) to the connecting piece (122) and, in a second pivot position, the lever holds the catheter (2) in a clamping manner on the connecting piece (122). To this end the at least one lever (14, 15) has a first lever section (141, 151) and a second lever section (142, 152) which is different from the first lever section (141, 151), wherein the first lever section (141, 151) has a latching device (147, 157) for latching the at least one lever (14, 15) to the housing (10, 11) and/or to a first lever section (141, 151) of a further lever (14, 15) in the second pivot position, and the second lever section (142, 152) has a clamping device (146, 156) for holding the catheter (2) by clamping in the second pivot position. In this way a port for a catheter is provided, which with simple handling makes it possible to hold a catheter reliably at the port.
