Abstract
A subcutaneous catheter set is disclosed in which a multilumen catheter tube has a tissue cuff connected about its outer circumference. A lock adapter has a plurality of conduits in communication with the lumens of the multilumen catheter tube. A complementary lock adapter is connected to either another multilumen catheter tube, a plurality of single lumen lines, a plurality of injection tubes or may be plugged to act as a seal. The two lock adapters can be locked together so that the subcutaneous multilumen catheter may be connected directly to any of the items attached on the complementary lock adapter.
