An insert () for a patient fluid discharge tube (A) facilitates removal of the discharge tube from the patient, wherein the insert provides a smooth outer surface () and also an arrangement () for aiding in attaching a removal tool to the insert such that the end of the discharge tube may be easily grasped and pulled from the patient.

Gripping tool

A stylet is provided which makes it possible to improve the handling of a catheter while also facilitating insertion of the catheter. A catheter set having such a stylet is also provided. A stylet with a hole and a stylet without a hole include, respectively: a stylet main body; an engaging part; a film-like linking part for linking the stylet main body and the engaging part; and a soft tip end part which is provided at a tip end of the engaging part. The engaging part has a tapered tubular shape which can expand and contract thanks to an alternating arrangement of soft parts and rigid parts in the peripheral direction. The stylet main body is then pulled rearwards from a state in which the stylet with a hole and the stylet without a hole are assembled with a catheter, thereby enabling the engaging part, which can engage with the edge of the opening of the catheter, to contract in the radial direction and be withdrawn.

Stylet and catheter set

A triple lumen catheter comprises a transfusion lumen (), a blood feeding lumen () and a blood removing lumen (). The transfusion lumen () has a distal end and a leading end portion (A), the leading end portion progressively reducing in diameter to a proximal end. A transfusion port () is formed in the proximal end of the transfusion lumen. The blood feeding lumen () has a blood feeding port () in a region of the proximal end of the leading end portion, the blood feeding port opening at least partially in an axial direction of the leading end portion. The blood removing lumen () includes a pair of blood removing ports () provided in opposite side walls of the catheter, the blood removing lumen extending from a distal end at least to the blood removing ports.

A suction fluid collector includes a transparent reservoir made of a resilient material with an upper opening positioned on one side of a flexible suction bag with at least one transparent side. A plate part made of a resilient material is positioned on another side of the suction bag opposite said reservoir. An urging means arranged between the reservoir and the plate part provides a force tending to expand a gap between the reservoir and the plate part. A suction tube is positioned partially inside the reservoir and extends through the suction bag.
