Abstract

The invention relates to a cannulation robot for the automated affixing of a cannula to a patient. The cannulation robot comprises a fixing apparatus for affixing the cannula to the patient by means of an adhesive carrier. The cannulation robot comprises a positioning device designed to position a cannula holder of the cannula to an area of the patient's skin. The cannulation robot comprises an actuator device for a guide means, wherein the guide means is designed to guide the adhesive carrier to said skin area. The actuator device is designed to activate the guide means and thereby move the adhesive carrier by means of the guide means toward the skin area, wherein the adhesive carrier contacts the skin area as a result of the movement and adheres to same as well as is disposed such that it is connected to the cannula at least after being adhered.
