Implantable injection catheter

Abstract

Abstract The catheter comprises a catheter tube 1 and, arranged at its end, an injection part 2, which is connected to the catheter tube 1 by means of a plug-in connection 4 for engaging on a connecting sleeve 3 arranged on the side of the injection part 2. The surface of the elastic membrane in 5 and of the injection part 2 is coated with a histocompatible, porous synthetic material, which promotes the incorporation of cells. At the end of the catheter tube 1 facing away from the injection part 2, an outer bead 8 is arranged approximately 3 to 5 mm from the end. In a preferred embodiment, a nonreturn valve is arranged on the catheter tube 1. <IMAGE>
