CATHETER ADAPTER APPARATUS

摘要

A catheter adapter apparatus includes an adapter body. The adapter body includes a fluid source end adapted for connection to a fluid source and having an internal bore to transfer the fluids supplied by the fluid source, and a catheter end for connection to a catheter tube. The catheter end includes first and second members. Each of the first and second members is adapted for reception within corresponding lumens of the catheter tube. At least the first member defines an internal bore in fluid communication with the fluid source end to transfer the fluids supplied by the fluid source. The second member may define an internal bore in fluid communication with the internal bore of the fluid source end. The catheter adapter apparatus may further include a valve member associated with the adapter body. The valve member may be movable to selectively fluidly connect the internal bores of the first and second members with the internal bore of the fluid source end. The fluid source end of the adapter body may include a luer connector.
