Preferably the mounting surface (2) is at least partly adhesive.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a base part comprising a cannula device for use in delivery devices delivering medication to a patient under controlled conditions, and an inserter device for insertion of the cannula device in the base part. The base part comprises a receiving portion (7) for a cannula device (1), a portion (9) which can be placed on the skin of a patient and attachment parts (11) for a delivery part comprising at least a reservoir (13). The base part further has a connection transferring fluid from the reservoir (13) to the base part which connection can be provided at different angles relative to the base part (9).

Abstract: This invention relates to a device such as an injection site or a gateway. The device is placed partly subcutaneously in relation to the patient for as long as e.g. three days and replaces repeated injections by syringes or injection pens. The invention relates to a device for supplying medication comprising a base part (1) and a cannula (4) unreleasably connected to the base part (1). The access opening (6) and at least a part of a through-going opening of the cannula are located in a gate (5) which gate (5) is permanently attached to the base part (1) and movably mounted in relation to the base part (1). The gate (5) has at least one position in which position there is an angle ? between a longitudinal central axe (12) of the gate (5) and the longitudinal central axis of the cannula (4) and that the angle ? is different from 0° and/or 180°.

Abstract: The current invention relates to an injection gateway (1) comprising a base part (2) which during use is secured to the skin (3) of a patient, a cannula (7) which is connected to the base part and which is inserted into the body of the patient during use, a gate (13) through which fluid is injectable into the gateway via a needle based injection device, and a fluid passageway (12) where fluid injected through the gate is communicated to the cannula. The injection gateway further comprises a closing mechanism (5), said closing mechanism having a first position where a needle inserted into the gateway can be inserted into the cannula and a second position where a needle inserted into the gateway is prevented from coming into contact with the cannula. In this way, the gateway allows the use of typical injection needles without the risk of piercing the cannula or penetrating too deeply into the body of the user.
