摘要:
A coupling comprising two mating coupling pieces (15a, 16a) for the connecting of two flexible tubes (12a, 20a) or the like. The coupling is characterized in that at least one coupling piece (15, 15a, 15b, 15c) is composed of two or more components (21a, 22a, 28a; 21b, 22b, 28b; 21c, 22c, 28c) of material of different rigidity which together withstand autoclaving. The coupling in accordance with the invention is Intended first and foremost to be used in conjunction with a method of treatment known under the name of CAPD (Continuous Ambulatory Peritoneal Dialysis). The coupling is preferably designed to comprise a readily penetrable membrane and a protective cover which can readily be torn off.
