摘要

A peripheral venous catheter comprising a vein indwelling section and a cannula (14), wherein the vein indwelling section includes a connection section and a tube connected to the connection section in a firmly bonded manner, and wherein the cannula is inserted into the vein indwelling section prior to inserting the venous catheter into a vein, and a wall is provided in the connection, which runs substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal extension of the connection section, including a plurality of circular ring-like wall segments, and exhibiting a central passage for the cannula at the middle of the wall, such that the wall segments form a boundary for a chamber provided in the connection section on the side facing the tube, in order to accommodate blood exiting the tube after the cannula has been removed.
