Claims
- 1. A two channel sampling needle device for insertion into a body to withdraw fluids, comprising
- a mounting part which defines an internal cavity,
- a flexible first cannula which is supported by said mounting part and extends from a proximal end in communication with said internal cavity to a distal end remote therefrom, said first cannula defining an uninterrupted first lumen,
- a flexible second cannula which is supported by said mounting part and which extends within said first cannula and in parallel therewith, said second cannula providing a first opening which directly opens into said first lumen near said distal end of said first cannula,
- a first fitting which is supported by said mounting part and is in communication with said cavity and said first cannula,
- a second fitting which is supported by said mounting part and is connected to said second cannula,
- a flexible stopper positioned within said cavity, and
- an insertion needle having a sharpened end which is extendable through said stopper, said cavity and along said first lumen such that said sharpened end extends beyond said distal end of said first cannula, said insertion needle, after insertion into a body, being withdrawable from said first cannula and said mounting part, wherein perfusion fluid can circulate between said first and second cannula within said needle device.
- 2. A sampling needle according to claim 1, wherein said mounting part defines a projection containing said first and second fittings.
- 3. A sampling needle according to claim 2, wherein said mounting part defines a secured opening through which said first cannula extends, wherein said mounting part provides a stepless cone leading from said cavity towards said second opening.
- 4. A sampling needle according to claim 2, wherein said first and second cannulas are plastic, and wherein said second cannula is one-piece with said first cannula.
- 5. A sampling needle according to claim 4, wherein said second defines a second lumen, and wherein said second lumen of said second cannula extends into said first lumen of said first after said insertion needle is removed from said first cannula.
- 6. A sampling needle according to claim 2, including a connecting piece, and wherein said projection defines a bore communicating with said cavity, and wherein said connecting piece is insertable in a gas-tight fashion into said bore, said connecting piece holding said first and second fittings.
- 7. A sampling needle according to claim 6, including a threaded element for fastening said connecting piece containing said first and second fittings to said projection of said mounting part.
- 8. A sampling needle according to claim 1, wherein said first cannula includes a wall which has perforation.
- 9. A sampling needle according to claim 1, wherein said first cannula includes a wall which has perforations covered by a membrane which is permeable to selected components of tissue fluid.
- 10. A sampling needle according to claim 1, including a coupling element with ingoing and outgoing lines into which said first and second fittings are insertable.
