Abstract
A subcutaneous access device for connection to a peritoneal dialysis catheter which includes an elongate housing having a needle-impervious outer shell forming the sides and bottom of the housing. The housing further includes a top expanse which is connected at its periphery to the outer shell and is composed of a needle-permeable and self-sealing material. The expanse has an expansive flat presentation region which extends substantially the length and breath of the housing. A hollow central chamber, disposed intermediate the top expanse and the bottom of the shell, extends the length of the housing. A fitting projects outwardly from the housing and is positioned to accommodate connection with an implanted peritoneal dialysis catheter.
