A hub (14) for a triple lumen catheter (12) especially for use with a catheter assembly (10) such as for hemodialysis. The hub (14) has a body (40) with one distal opening (58) for insertion thereinto of a proximal end portion (26) of the catheter (12), and three proximal openings (52, 54, 56) for insertion thereinto of distal end portions (74, 76, 78) of three extension tubes (16, 18, 20) each associated with one of the catheter's three lumens (30, 32, 34). The hub provides three passageways (68, 70, 72) extending from respective proximal openings to respective interior openings (60, 62, 64) in communication with the one distal opening (58), for establishing fluid communication between each extension tube (16, 18, 20) and its associated catheter lumen (30, 32, 34). Preferably, the hub is insert molded to respective end portions of the catheter (12) and the extension tubes (16, 18, 20).

L'invention a pour objet un embranchement (14) pour un cathéter à lumière triple (12) à utiliser spécifiquement avec un ensemble cathéter (10) tel que pour une hémodialyse. L'embranchement (14) possède un corps (40) avec une ouverture distale (58) pour y insérer une partie d'extrémité proximale (26) de cathéter (12), et trois ouvertures proximales (52, 54, 56) pour y insérer des parties d'extrémité distale (74, 76, 78) de trois tubes d'extension (16, 18, 20), chacune associée à une des trois lumières du cathéter (30, 32, 34). L'embranchement contient trois passages (68, 70, 72) s'étendant des ouvertures proximales respectives aux ouvertures internes respectives (60, 62, 64) en communication avec la seule ouverture distale (58), pour établir une communication fluidique entre chaque tube d'extension (16, 18, 20) et sa lumière de cathéter associée (30, 32, 34). De préférence, l'embranchement est à insert moulé aux parties d'extrémité respectives du cathéter (12) et aux tubes d'extension (16, 18, 20).
