Device for subcutaneous administration of a medicament to a patient and tubing for same

Abstract

The invention relates to a device for subcutaneous administration of a medicament to a patient, comprising a cannula housing () with an interior chamber; a cannula () connected to the cannula housing () and being in flow communication with the interior chamber; a tubing () manufactured from a flexible material and having a first end ('), coupled to the cannula housing () in such a manner that the tubing () is in flow communication with the interior chamber; and wherein the tubing (), at the other end, carries a source coupling (), by which the tubing can be coupled to a source for said medicament. The invention is characterised in that, at least over a section of its length, the tubing comprises a longitudinally extending, external groove () and a longitudinally extending, external protrusion () arranged diametrically opposite the groove () and complementary with said groove (); and that, using the flexibility of its material, the groove () is configured for being able to receive and secure the protrusion () in a releasable manner in a configuration of the tubing (), in which the tubing () is folded () for forming parallel courses of tubing (). The invention also relates to a tubing configured for use in said device.
