Abstract:
1. A clamp adapter for a catheter, comprising a clamping body made of an insulator, a fitting bore passing axially through said clamping body, a syringe fitting located proximally to said clamping body, a hollow cylindrical elastic clamping part inserted into said bore distally and supported axially in the proximal direction, a clamping lid placed distally on said clamping body and abutting the distal face of said clamping part, the catheter being insertable through an opening of the clamping lid axially into said clamping part and being releasably clampable by said clamping part that is axially upset by said clamping lid, where to provide a contact for a wire located in the catheter for electrical stimulation in said clamping body an electrically conducting contact bushing is located proximally to the clamping part, said contact bushing having an internal bore that coaxially abuts the internal bore of said clamping part, and where said contact bushing has an electrical connection guided outward through said clamping body.
