Definitions
- the invention relates to a catheter head for medical, preferably therapeutic, and pharmaceutical applications.
- the catheter head can in particular be part of an infusion set or form an infusion set together with a catheter and / or one or more other fluid-carrying elements. It is preferably used for the subcutaneous administration of a medicinal liquid such as insulin. It is particularly preferably used in self-administration.
- Catheter heads which are part of an infusion set are known from the prior art.
- EP 0 239 244 B1 discloses an injection set for subcutaneous injection.
- the centerpiece of the injection set is a catheter head.
- This catheter head comprises a supply line for the product to be injected, a flexible cannula that protrudes from the catheter head, and an injection needle connection.
- a puncture needle is inserted into the catheter head through the puncture needle connection and through the flexible cannula in order to insert it into the patient's tissue.
- the injection needle pierces a septum at the injection needle connection.
- the injection needle After the flexible cannula has been inserted into the patient's tissue by means of the injection needle, the injection needle is pulled out of the catheter head. The septum closes the catheter head at the injection needle connection. A tight connection is now established between the cannula located in the tissue and a feed for the product. However, due to the puncture of the septum at the injection needle connection, there is a residual risk that the connection will not seal completely. This applies in particular if the septum is pierced several times at the injection needle connection.
- a catheter head according to the invention for medical, preferably therapeutic or also diagnostic, and pharmaceutical applications comprises a catheter head housing, a cannula, which is preferably flexible, a fluid connection, a fluid channel, an injection needle connection, a connection chamber and a connector.
- the catheter head housing gives the catheter head strength and holds the individual components of the catheter head together. It is possible to integrate individual components of the catheter head into the catheter head housing.
- the cannula protrudes from the catheter head and, when inserted, into organic tissue. A region of the cannula is preferably accommodated in the catheter head housing. In such designs, the cannula protrudes from the catheter head housing.
- the fluid connection of the catheter head is used to connect a fluid supply, which connects a container containing a fluid to be administered to the catheter head.
- the container can for example be designed as an ampoule of a portable infusion device, other embodiments are also possible.
- a fluid is preferably understood to mean a liquid product, but the fluid can also be gaseous.
- the fluid supply is preferably guided into the fluid channel and preferably held in a form-fitting manner on the catheter head housing.
- the fluid supply comprises a supply cannula with a connecting needle. This needle is inserted into the fluid channel of the catheter head to establish a fluid connection between the catheter head and the container.
- the fluid channel in the catheter head is a flow section of the catheter head through which the fluid flows when administered.
- the injection needle connection of the catheter head is used to connect an injection needle. Through this connection, the injection needle is inserted into the catheter head housing and through this into the cannula.
- the injection needle connection can be open or closed by a soft material that can be pierced by the injection needle. However, the injection needle connection itself has no sealing function after removal of the injection needle.
- the cannula, the injection needle connection and the fluid channel of the catheter head adjoin the connection chamber of the catheter head.
- the connecting chamber forms a volume through which the fluid flows at least partially when the fluid is administered.
- the geometry of the connecting chamber can be rectangular, for example cubic, but it can also be round or irregular in shape. In particular, the borders or connections to the cannula, the injection needle connection and the fluid channel can be formed in the walls of the connection chamber.
- connection for the cannula and the injection needle connection are preferably opposite one another in a straight line.
- the fluid channel preferably adjoins the connecting chamber on a remaining lateral chamber wall.
- the volume of the connection chamber can be kept constant during the insertion of the injection needle and later when the fluid is administered, but it is preferred that the volume of the connection chamber changes or that other components of the catheter head, preferably the connector, move into the connection chamber can be.
- the connector is movably supported by the catheter head housing at least between two different positions.
- the connector In a first position, the connector is arranged in such a way that the injection needle can be guided from the injection needle connection into the connection chamber and this can be guided in a protruding manner into the cannula.
- the connector does not hinder the injection needle in the first position.
- At least the injection needle does not pierce it. It preferably does not cross it either, and the injection needle and the connector particularly preferably have no contact in its first position.
- the connector In a second position, the connector is arranged such that, after removal of the injection needle, it fluidly separates the cannula from the injection needle connection when the fluid supply is connected to the fluid connection. It advantageously closes the connecting chamber in a sealing manner towards the injection needle connection.
- the connector arranged on the catheter head housing creates a fluid-tight connection between the fluid supply and the cannula due to the fluidic separation. Therefor a part of the connector or the connector as a whole is moved, preferably displaced, relative to the catheter head housing, preferably in the connecting chamber.
- the connector can be made in one part or in several parts. It can be made entirely from the same material everywhere or from different materials in some areas.
- the connector preferably has a round or square cross-section, but other cross-sectional shapes are also possible.
- the connector is preferably locked in the second position. This increases the security that the connection chamber is sealed by the connector towards the injection needle connection.
- the connector can e.g. B. not accidentally slip. It is also possible that the locking of the connector in the second position prevents reuse, which could result in infections for a user of a catheter head.
- the connector latches in the second position.
- the connector is preferably provided with a blocking device, for example a hook, at that end of the connector which adjoins the connecting chamber, which prevents the connector from moving back from the second position by engagement preferably with a part of the catheter head housing.
- a blocking element that moves into a blocking engagement for blocking the connector in the second position can be provided instead of on the connector or additionally on the catheter head housing.
- the movement of the one or more blocking elements into the blocking engagement is preferably brought about by elastic forces.
- the movement into the blocking engagement can also be brought about by a gear mechanism which brings about the relative movement between the connector and the catheter head housing in the blocking engagement.
- a blocking element which is elastically tensioned until the second position of the connector is reached automatically snaps into a rear grip with a when the second position is reached on account of its elastic restoring force Blocking counter element and thus blocks the connector against movement from the second position.
- the movement of the connector is a displacement of the connector.
- This shift is preferably of a purely translational nature.
- the catheter head housing and the connector form a thrust joint.
- a rotary movement is superimposed on this movement or that the movement of the connector consists exclusively of a rotary movement.
- the catheter head housing and the connector form a swivel joint or possibly a thrust / swivel joint.
- the rotational movement can be, for example, a folding movement or a swiveling movement.
- the cause of the movement of the connector is preferably a force which acts mechanically on the connector.
- the catheter head housing preferably guides the connector linearly along an axis of movement as it moves.
- its fluid supply is preferably moved along the same axis relative to the catheter head housing.
- the catheter head housing preferably forms a sliding guide for the connector, preferably also for the fluid supply.
- the catheter head housing guides the connector not only linearly along the movement axis, but also secured against rotation with respect to this axis during its movement. This is particularly advantageous if a passage of the connector, which in the second position connects the fluid channel formed by the connector to the cannula, is formed in a lateral surface of the connector, as is preferred.
- the anti-rotation lock is formed by appropriate shaping of the mating outer surfaces of the connector and the catheter head housing created.
- the guide can be formed, for example, by the engagement of a guide web in a guide groove. However, it can advantageously also be obtained by a polygonal, preferably rectangular, or oval outer cross section of the connector and an inner jacket surface of the catheter head which is shaped in a manner adapted for the purpose of non-twisting guidance.
- the movement of the connector from the first to the second position is coupled with the connection of the fluid supply for the container. Without the container connected, the connector is in the first position. However, if the container is connected, the connector is automatically and inevitably in the second position.
- the connection preferably effects the movement of the connector.
- the connector protrudes beyond the catheter head housing in the region of the fluid connection in the first position and is moved from the fluid supply into the second position when the fluid supply is connected.
- it When trying to connect the fluid supply, it preferably comes into contact with the connector and exerts a force on it. This force sets the connector in motion and moves from the first position to the second position.
- the movements of the fluid supply and the connector are preferably rectified when connecting.
- the fluid supply preferably presses against the connector and thus causes it to move into the second position. Part of the fluid supply is pushed and / or rotated in or preferably onto the catheter head housing.
- the movement of the fluid supply preferably ends at the moment when the fluid supply or / and the connector has reached a stop. In a preferred embodiment, reaching this stop is synchronized with reaching the second position of the connector.
- the movement of the connector is the pulling out of the injection needle from the injection needle connection coupled.
- the connector therefore performs its sealing function immediately when or after the injection needle is pulled out of the injection needle connection.
- moving the connector requires separate actuation.
- This separate actuation can, for example, cause the movement of the connector in a mechanical and or electrical manner.
- the fluid channel is closed off from the fluid connection by a septum.
- This septum guarantees a tight and hygienic closure of the fluid channel from the environment.
- the septum is preferably pierced by means of a connecting needle of the fluid supply in order to establish the fluid connection between the container and the fluid channel.
- the connector can form such a septum itself in one piece or hold a separately shaped septum.
- the connector is designed as a hollow body.
- the cross section of the cavity can be round, for example circular or oval, or polygonal, for example square, but the hollow body can also be irregular.
- the fluid channel runs inside the connector and is moved accordingly when the connector moves.
- the fluid channel can run entirely or partially within the connector.
- the connector has a passage for the fluid, the passage being closed in the first position of the connector, preferably by a wall of the catheter head housing, and the passage being open towards the cannula in the second position of the connector.
- the passage is preferably located at a location on the lateral surface of the connector designed as a hollow body. In the second position, the passage is preferably located directly at the opening of the cannula to the connecting chamber.
- the connector has an opening in the first position towards the connecting chamber. This opening is sealed in the second position of the connector. This opening of the connector is preferably located at its front end in the direction of movement. In the case of a symmetrical connector, one of its main axes preferably runs through this opening.
- the opening can encompass the entire head surface of the cylinder. However, the opening can only occupy part of this area.
- the opening in the second position of the connector preferably borders directly on the catheter head housing; the sealing effect is preferably formed by the seal between the surfaces of the connector surrounding the opening and the catheter head housing. It is preferably a hard / soft seal.
- the fluid channel runs outside the connector, and the position of the fluid channel with respect to the catheter head housing cannot be changed.
- the connector is preferably compact and has no cavities. However, this does not exclude minor indentations in the connector. If the connector is moved between its two positions, this has no influence whatsoever on the position of the fluid channel with respect to the catheter head housing.
- the fluid channel is preferably firmly integrated into the catheter head housing d. H. the walls of the fluid channel are formed by the catheter head housing.
- the fluidic separation of the cannula and the injection needle connection can be brought about by a soft / soft seal.
- a hard / soft seal is preferably used as a seal for the fluidic separation of the cannula and the injection needle connection.
- This type of seal can advantageously be reinforced by a suitable form fit of the elements to be connected to one another in a sealing manner. In particular, it makes sense to press the components together or against one another. B. can be achieved by suitable shaping of the components.
- the connector may have a harder area and a softer area, the softer area in the second position of the connector providing the seal against the relatively harder catheter head housing. This softer area of the connector can be shaped in various ways.
- the softer area can, for example, be designed to run around the connector.
- the softer area can, for example, be enclosed by the harder area in partial areas.
- the softer area can also have only a simple cuboid shape. In all cases, the softer area comes into direct contact with the harder catheter head housing and creates a seal there.
- the catheter head comprises a cannula head which surrounds the cannula at the connection chamber, the connector consisting of a hard base body and the cannula head made of a softer material, so that in the second position of the connector a hard / soft seal between the hard body and the softer cannula head is formed.
- the hard base body of the connector here preferably has a passage which, in the second position of the connector, lies above the cannula head in such a way that a fluid connection can be established between the cannula and the fluid channel in the connector.
- the connector is preferably designed as a hollow body.
- the soft sealing part can also be a sealing insert or a coating with an opening which is only connected to the cannula via a further channel, but a cannula head provided directly at the upstream end of the cannula is used as a soft sealing part prefers.
- the connector consists of a soft sealing material.
- the entire connector is made from this soft sealing material.
- this connector can have a sealing effect at all points where it comes into firm contact with a harder material.
- such a connector is very easy to manufacture.

- this fluid channel 4 does not move with it, but remains in a fixed position with respect to the catheter head housing 3.
- the fluid channel 4 formed in the catheter head housing 3 borders, as in the previous examples, to the connecting chamber 5. It opens into the connecting chamber 5, as does the fluid channel 4 of the first exemplary embodiment.
- a region 21 of the connecting chamber 5 that is recessed in the direction of movement of the connector borders on the injection needle connection 6.
- the cannula 2 opens with its cannula head 13.
- the injection needle 7, enclosed in the injection needle holder 12, is guided through the injection needle connection 6 into the connection chamber 5 and through this into the cannula 2 in order to introduce the flexible cannula 2 into organic tissue can.
- the connector 11 is not touched or even penetrated.
- the connector 11 is compact and essentially linear as a plate structure. It has two differently hard axial areas, a softer area 24 in the direction of the connection chamber 5 and a harder area 25 in the direction of the fluid connection 10. In the first position of the connector 11, part of the harder region 25 projects beyond the catheter head housing 3 against the direction of movement.
- the catheter head housing 3 seen from the underside, forms a guide for the connector 11 above the fluid channel 4 in order to guide the connector 11 when moving from the first position to the second position and, with the softer area 24 of the connector 11, the connection chamber 5 above the cannula 2 seal.
- the guide for the connector 11 again extends parallel to the longitudinal direction of the fluid channel 4.
- the connecting needle 16 pierces the septum 22 and thereby creates one Connection between the supply cannula 20 and the fluid channel 4.
- the connecting needle 16 is enclosed in the connecting needle holder 17.
- the connecting needle holder 17 presses against the harder region 25 of the connector 11 in the direction of the L axis and displaces the connector 11 in the direction of the L axis to its second position as shown in Figure 4B.
- the fluid channel 4 remains fixed.
- the softer area 24 of the connector 11 slides into the recess 21 in the connection chamber 5 in a manner that fits the fit.
