ABSTRACT:
A coupling device is disclosed for attachment to an end of a catheter. The coupling device includes a tubular member having a distal and a proximal portion with the distal portion being insertable within the end of the catheter. An elongate body member having a first and a second end defines a channel which extends between the first and second ends of the body member. The channel receivably supports the proximal portion of the tubular member such that the distal portion of the tubular member extends outwardly from the first end of the body member. A catheter clamp is hingedly secured to the first end of the body member for selectively clamping the end of the catheter around the distal portion of the tubular member. The clamp is movable from a first position in which the clamp is hinged away from the distal portion of the tubular member for facilitating insertion of the distal portion of the tubular member within the end of the catheter to a second position in which the end of the catheter is clamped between the distal portion of the tubular member and the clamp.
