1. A catheter attachment for introducing a flexible catheter into a blood vessel, comprising front and rear attachment sections and means for pivotally connecting said sections, and a flexible catheter mounted in said attachment sections, said rear attachment section including means communicating with said catheter for providing communication between the catheter and a transfusion device, whereby the rear attachment section and the portion of the catheter therein may move with respect to the front attachment section without disturbing the remainder of the catheter in and extending from the front attachment section; and means for limiting angular movement of said attachment sections with respect to one another to about 90°.
3. A catheter attachment as defined in claim 1 wherein said limiting means limits angular movement between said attachment sections to 45°.
10. A catheter attachment as defined in claim 9 including means for limiting angular movement of said attachment sections with respect to one another to about 90°.
11. A catheter attachment as defined in claim 10 wherein said limiting means limits angular movement between said attachment sections to 45°.
In accordance with an aspect of the invention, a catheter attachment for holding a catheter tube in place after insertion with the aid of a puncture cannula or needle, has two attachment parts or sections connected to each other by means of an integral flexible hinge. The front part of the catheter attachment facing the catheter tube is connected with the catheter tube frictionally and tightly and includes flat fixation plates adapted to lie on the skin of the patient and provide supports for taking the attachment to the patient's skin. The back part of the catheter attachment is used to connect the catheter to a transfusion device and is movably connected with the front part of the catheter attachment by means of the hinge. By this arrangement any forces applied to the catheter attachment originating from an infusion line connected to the catheter attachment, or from instruments or syringes inserted in the catheter or catheter attachment will not act immediately on the whole catheter attachment and be transferred further to the catheter tube, but can only move the mobile back part of the catheter attachment in the direction determined by the form of the hinge. Preferably this movement is not led over a too great deflection angle, but is limited by an angular movement of up to about 90° and preferably up to about 45°.
A catheter tube 4 which serves as an infusion passage is tightly secured in the front attachment section within a passage 5' in a guide 5 formed in section 1. The tight frictional engagement of the catheter in passage 5' assures that movement of back part 2 cannot have any effect on the catheter. Front attachment part 1 also includes two symmetrically arranged supporting and fixing plates 7 and 7' connected with guide piece 5 by integral crosspieces 6. These plates are used to tape the front attachment part on the patient's skin. Stop faces 8, 8', 9, 9', are formed on attachment parts 1, 2 adjacent hinges 3, 3' and they are located to engage each other when back part 2 has pivoted to a predetermined angle (e.g. 90° and preferably 45°) with respect to front part 1, thereby to limit the deflection of front part 1 and back part 2 with respect to each other.
