ABSTRACT:
A medical coupling device (8) as part of a medical system for withdrawing an ovum from a follicle. The coupling device has an inner chamber (3) that is formed from first (1) and second (2) parts, which are press-fitted together or slidably fitted together by means of male and female engagement parts (6). The inner chamber has a pair of axial openings (4) for receiving a first conduit (9) and a lateral opening (5) for receiving a second conduit (10) therein. In one embodiment, the first conduit includes a single lumen and a side port (11) of which the second conduit is in fluid communication with the single lumen of the first conduit in the inner chamber of the coupling device. In a second embodiment, the first conduit includes multiple lumens (12,13), of which only one of the lumens of the first conduit has a side port that is in fluid communication with the second conduit in the inner chamber of the coupling device. An outer covering (16), preferably of a plastic material, is formed over the first and second parts along with the first and second conduits to provide a seal for the device and the conduits. The plastic outer covering also provides a color code for designating a characteristic of the device, such as the gauge of the conduits.
