METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR ATTACHING A CATHETER TO A BAG SUCH AS A WOUND DRAINAGE BAG

摘要

Apparatus for attaching a catheter to a bag includes a pair of coupling rings (10, 20) for trapping a part of the bag wall between them. A cutter having a blade of circular or closed loop form makes a cut in the trapped wall and an elastomeric member for gripping a catheter is connectable to the cutter or to one of the rings. The catheter is inserted in the elastomeric member and through the rings, the member serving as a gaiter.
