Abstract
The invention relates to an arrangement for the administration of a fluid. The arrangement consists of a tube, preferably made of plastic, one end of which is executed with a cutting or tissue-displacing tip. The other end of the tube has a connection (1b) for an injection syringe or the like. Arranged in the tube is a rigid, elongated body so executed as to facilitate insertion of the tube into human tissue. The tube is sufficiently soft for it to be of essentially the same consistency as the surrounding tissue, in particular the subcutaneous tissue and musculator. It is also sealed at its tip and executed with a number of openings distributed over an area between the tip and the connection. The external surface of the tube is covered with a coating of titanium of sufficient thinness for the tube to retain its soft characteristics. The arrangement also comprises an attachment device (3) so arranged, after insertion of the tube and after withdrawal of the aforementioned rigid body, as to be applied between the ends of the tube in order to produce a rigid connection between same.
