METHOD FOR CUTTING AND SEALING OF DISPOSABLE MULTILUMEN TUBING

摘要

A connector is described, which is suitable for establishing flow communication between passages of a multilumen tubing used with an endoscopic apparatus and between tubes for supplying fluid medium to the multilumen tubing. The connector is adapted for insertion and retraction of a surgical instrument therethrough. The connector comprises a main body portion provided with a through-going bore, which longitudinally extends along the main body portion. The main body portion further comprises a plurality of lateral ports, which are in flow communication with the through going bore. The bore is adapted for insertion thereinto and removal therefrom of a proximal end of the multilumen tubing. The lateral ports are adapted for receiving thereinto the tubes for supplying the fluid medium.
