A subcutaneous access device for connection to a peritoneal dialysis catheter which includes an elongate housing (20) having a needle-impervious outer shell (22) forming the sides and bottom of the housing. The housing further includes a top expanse (24) which is connected at its periphery (24a) to the outer shell and is composed of a needle-permeable and self-sealing material. The expanse has an expansive flat presentation region (26) which extends substantially the length and breadth of the housing (20). A hollow central chamber (30), disposed intermediate the top expanse and the bottom of the shell, extends the length of the housing. A fitting(32) projects outwardly from the housing and is positioned to accommodate connection with an implanted peritoneal dialysis catheter (17).
