The connection device according to the invention for connecting a cannula to a transfusion tube for continuous infusion of a fluid, in particular insulin, into a patient is characterised in that there is connected to that end of the cannula remote from the patient, in the form of a flexible short catheter (1), an open hollow support (12) which can be releasably connected to an axially bored attachment (17) of the transfusion tube (16), in that a piercable membrane (15) of elastic material is arranged in the hollow support (12), and in that there is secured on the attachment (17) of the transfusion tube (16) a steel cannula (19) whose pointed end projects a distance beyond the end face of the attachment (17) and pierces the membrane (15). In this way, the discomfort of the patient upon removal and connection of the transfusion tube is reduced. <IMAGE> |
