Catheter adaptors are small connecting devices that create a mechanical union between a catheter and an external device by accommodating and adjusting their characteristics such as diameter and thread, permitting catheter insertion and manipulation and facilitating delivery or extraction of substances through the catheter lumen. These devices are used in diverse clinical contexts including cardiopulmonary bypass surgery for connecting cannulae to administration lines, delivering cardioplegia solution, venting cardiac chambers, and maintaining cardioplegia solution temperature.
