PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a connector for simplifying the administration work of a doctor or care giver in nutrition administration through a gastrostomy catheter.SOLUTION: The connector is a connecting member for connecting a mouth member of a pouch container and a medical catheter to each other, and has one end side with a catheter side mounting portion connected to the medical catheter, and the other end side with a pouch side mounting portion connected to the mouth portion of the pouch container. A side of the pouch side mounting portion is formed with an opening, the connecting member is slid to the mouth member, and the opening is switched between a closed state by the mouth member, and an exposed state. Accordingly, the connector serves as a cap of the pouch container, the trouble to change a cap for a connector is eliminated, and nutrition administration is facilitated.COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT【課題】胃瘻用カテーテルを介した栄養投与において、医師や介助者が投与を行う際の作業の簡略化を目的とする。【解決手段】本発明の接続器具は、パウチ容器の口部材と医療用カテーテルとを接続する接続部材であって、一端側に医療用カテーテルと接続されるカテーテル側装着部と、他端側にパウチ容器の口部材に接続されるパウチ側装着部とを有し、パウチ側装着部の側方に開口が形成され、接続部材を前記口部材に対してスライドさせることで、前記開口が前記口部材によって封止された状態と、前記開口が露出した状態を切り替える。これにより、接続器具がパウチ容器のキャップの役割を果たすため、キャップから接続器具へ付替えする手間が省かれ、より簡単に栄養剤投与を行うことができる。【選択図】図1
