Intravenous catheter device - with Y=piece for needle and catheter and latex membrane sealing pierced needle hole

摘要

A catheter device for intravenous infusion can be introduced through a Y-piece with a straight channel for a hollow needle and a branch channel for the vein catheter. A membrane cap at the distal end of the straight channel automatically seals its pierced hole when the needle is extracted from it. The catheter hose, vein catheter or a probe, can thus be introduced free from possible contamination. The device is of simple design and can be handled easily and safely.
