Abstract
The catheter coupling is intended for providing the proximal end of a catheter with a plug connector forming a fluid transfer connection. The catheter coupling comprises two pivotable jaws enclosing a wavy channel. One of the jaws is provided with a hose in which the catheter may be inserted. When the other jaw is closed, the hose and the catheter is deformed to a wave-shape without any significant change in cross section. Thus, the catheter is secured against being pulled out.
