Abstract
Catheter system consisting of a sleeve, a catheter and a membrane partially arranged in the sleeve, which can be fixed in a skin passage unit in such a way that the catheter protrudes from the skin passage unit towards the interior of the body, wherein the individual components of the catheter system are inseparably connected to one another.
Claims9
A catheter system for use with a skin passage unit connected to a patient's body, said catheter system comprising:
- a generally cylindrical sleeve having a substantially continuous cylindrical wall, a first end substantially closed by a cover and an open second end generally opposite the first end, said wall and cover substantially defining an interior space;
- a membrane material mounted in and generally filling the interior space, said membrane material having an elongated, generally central, self-closing connection channel extending from the cover to the open end of the sleeve;
- and
- a catheter having a first end, a second end, a length extending between said ends and a generally central channel, said first end of the catheter mounted in the membrane material, the central channel of the catheter generally aligned with the connection channel of the membrane material, said catheter extending from the sleeve at the open second end, whereby the catheter system can be removably received in the skin passage unit with the catheter protruding from the skin passage unit into the interior of the body.

A system for administering substances to a body comprising:
- a skin passage unit comprising a port body comprising a hollow cylindrical sleeve portion and an anchoring plate, said anchoring plate connected to and generally radially arranged around said sleeve portion, said sleeve portion formed by a generally cylindrical wall having an inside surface and an outside surface and having a first substantially open end and a second end;
- and
- a catheter system for being removably received in the skin passage unit, said catheter system comprising:
- a generally cylindrical closing sleeve having a substantially continuous cylindrical wall, a first end substantially closed by a cover portion and an open second end generally opposite the first end, said wall and cover portion substantially defining an interior space;
- a membrane mounted in and generally filling the interior space, said membrane having an elongated, generally central, self-closing connection channel extending from the cover portion in the direction of the open end of the closing sleeve, a portion of the membrane extending through the open end of the closing sleeve;
- and
- a catheter having a first end, a second end, a length extending between said ends and a generally central channel, said first end of the catheter mounted in the membrane, the central channel of the catheter generally aligned with the connection channel of the membrane, said catheter extending from the closing sleeve at the open second end, whereby the catheter system can be removably received in the skin passage unit with the catheter protruding from the skin passage unit into the interior of the body.
