Implantable catheter device

Abstract

Abstract The implantable catheter device has a capsule (10) with a perforatable upper wall (15). A catheter (11) leads into a cavity (12) in the capsule (10). The catheter (11) is fixed to the capsule (10) by means of an elastomeric clamping piece (30), which is arranged in the inside of a connection piece (22). The connection piece (22) has an internal thread (23) in which an external thread of a thrust piece (26) engages. By turning the thrust piece (26), the clamping piece (30) is deformed, in order to press against the periphery of the catheter and fix the latter and seal it off relative to the capsule (10). The lateral dimensions of the capsule (10) are not increased by the connection piece (22). The catheter coupling can be easily tightened and released, and it affords satisfactory safety against the catheter being pulled out. <IMAGE>
