Abstract:
1. A safety catheter for injecting fluid, comprising: a tubular body defined between a proximal end and a distal end, said tubular body comprising a first channel through the tubular body and opening out at the proximal end and at the distal end of the tubular body; a tubular endpiece defined between a first end and a second end, said tubular endpiece comprising a second channel through the tubular endpiece and opening out at the first end and at the second end of the tubular endpiece; and a connection means comprising a ring for making a connection between said tubular endpiece and said tubular body, and an adhesive for bonding the ring to at least one of the tubular body and the tubular endpiece, wherein the tubular body and the tubular endpiece are connected in such a manner that the distal end of the first channel and the first end of the second channel are substantially in alignment on an axis, the ring covers an exterior side face of the distal end of the tubular body and an exterior side face of the first end of the tubular endpiece, the adhesive is disposed on the exterior surface of the ring to bond the ring to at least one of the distal end of the tubular body and the first end of the tubular endpiece, and said connection means is arranged in such a manner, that by exerting a force couple of determined value respectively on the tubular body and on the tubular endpiece, said connection is broken so as to separate the tubular body and the tubular endpiece.
