Abstract
A one-piece or unitarily constructed composite plastic catheter and cannula arrangement and method of producing the arrangement, having a suitably coated needle point which is thereby facilitated for insertion thereof into the vein or body of a patient, whereby the arrangement of an inexpensively produced construction renders the composite catheter and cannula structure of a nature adapted to be readily disposable after only a single use and therefore economically viable, especially for undeveloped or developing countries or regions.
