DIALYSIS COMBINATION AND MICRODIALYSIS PROBE AND INSERTION MEANS INTENDENT FOR SAID COMBINATION

摘要

The invention relates to a dialysis probe combination with a microdialysis probe (1) which can be inserted into tissue with the aid of an insertion device that includes a cannula tube (9). In order to be able to remove the cannula tube (9) after insertion, the tube is provided with a slot along the whole of its length, this slot preferably including an angle of about 65° in the radial direction. During insertion, the probe is held within the cannula tube by virtue of the major part of the probe being larger than the slot. However, the proximal portion of the probe includes a flattened part which is able to pass through the slot, and the cannula tube can be drawn past the flattened part by lifting said part, while leaving the probe in the tissue.
