Abstract
A catheter assembly of the hypodermic embedment type for infusing a fluid medicament such as a carcinostatic agent into a body cavity such as a blood vessel for therapeutic purposes, includes a medicament infusion implement having an inlet port and an outlet port and a catheter connected to the implement outlet port. The device is used by inserting and indwelling the catheter in a body cavity and embedding the implement beneath the skin. Treatment can be repeated any number of desired times with the catheter assembly kept indwelled in the body, resulting in a significant reduction of the burden to the patient as compared with the prior art technique requiring insertion and withdrawal of a catheter every time when treatment is made. Also, the danger of infection during the treatment is eliminated, as compared to the prior art technique where the catheter is percutaneously inserted.
