A cassette for storing and insertion of a solid medicine peg appears as a unit having a first bore (2) which accommodates the medicine peg (3) and has a diameter corresponding to the diameter of this peg (3), a second bore (4) in coaxial extension of the first bore (2) and having a diameter larger than the diameter of the first bore (2), an inserter having a shaft (5) fitting into the first bore (2) and a guiding head (6) in coaxial extension of the shaft (5) fitting into the second bore. The inserter shaft (5) has one end adjacent to the peg (3) and the other connected to the guiding head (6) which projects from the cassette. The head (6) fits into the second bore with a fitting providing a diffusion tight sealing and the distal end of the unit is closed by a membrane diffusion tightly sealing this distal end.
A cassette for storing and insertion of a solid medicine peg, said cassette comprising a housing at least one unit having a first bore (2) accommodating the medicine peg (3) and having a diameter corresponding to the diameter of the peg (3), a second bore (4) in coaxial extension of the first bore (2) and having a diameter larger than the diameter of the first bore (2), an inserter comprising an inserter shaft (5) fitting into the first bore (2) and a guiding head (6) connected to the inserter shaft (5) in coaxial extension of the inserter shaft and fitting into the second bore, the inserter shaft (5) having a distal end adjacent to a proximal end of the peg (3) and a proximal end connected to a distal end of the guiding head (6) which forms at its proximal end an anvil (7), the second bore (4) having a length so that the distal end of the inserter shaft (5) is moved to a position extending beyond the distal end of the housing a distance corresponding to a wanted insertion depth for the peg when the distal end of the guiding head is moved to a bottom of the second bore, wherein the head (6) of the inserter fits into the second bore with a press fitting which provides a diffusion tight sealing of the proximal end of the unit, and wherein the distal end of the unit is closed by a membrane diffusion tightly sealing the distal end of the unit.
