  • Patent number: 10493256
    Abstract: A port (1) for a catheter comprises: a housing (10) having a base plate (12); a cavity (140) arranged in the housing (10) for receiving a fluid; a membrane (13) attached to the housing (10) and arranged on an opening (102) of the housing (10) for sealing the opening (102) such that the cavity (140) is enclosed in the housing (10) in a fluid-tight manner; and a connector (15) for connecting a catheter (2) to the housing (10) to provide a fluid connection between the cavity (140) and the catheter (2). The port (1) has an outer shape defined by the housing (10) and the membrane (13) attached to the housing (10). In addition at least one adapter piece (3, 4) is provided, the at least one adapter piece (3, 4) in a preassembly state being separate from the housing (10) and being attachable to the housing (10) to alter the outer shape of the port (1), wherein the port (1) is operational with or without the at least one adapter piece (3, 4) attached to the housing (10).

  • Patent number: 9555230
    Abstract: A port for a catheter includes a housing, a chamber arranged in the housing for receiving a medically active substance, a connecting piece for connecting the catheter to produce a flow connection between the chamber and the catheter, and at least one lever, mounted to be pivotable about a pivot axis and realized to allow the catheter to be fitted onto the connecting piece in a first pivot position and to hold the catheter in a clamping manner on the connecting piece in a second pivot position. The at least one lever has different first and second portions. The first portion carries a latching device for latching the at least one lever with the housing and/or with a first portion of a further lever in the second pivot position. The second portion has a clamping device for holding the catheter in the clamping manner in the second pivot position.

  • Patent number: 8298212
    Abstract: The invention relates an implantable access device for a catheter for supplying an active substance to an active site. The inventive access device comprises a chamber which is arranged in a housing for receiving the active substance and is closed with a piercable membrane. A connecting piece, to which the catheter is connectable, is fluidly connected to the chamber. The catheter is fixed by clamps that are fixable to the housing preferably by means of elastic fixing arms. The chamber receiving the active substance is embodied in an insertion element that is arranged in a recess of the housing by an intermediate clamping of the intermediate layer of the membrane in such a way that the insertion element produces a pressure force to said membrane.
