Zusammenfassung:	A method and apparatus for ambulatory intraperitoneal dialysis, comprising at least two containers one filled with unused dialysis fluid and one empty, each container being provided with flow regulating means and with a connecting tube ending in a Y-shaped junction whose common branch is connected to a third tube, provided at its free end with a sterile needle. The needle is inserted in a second Y-shaped junction having two branches each containing two membranes which form therebetween a sterilizing liquid chamber. The common channel of the second Y-shaped junction is connected to an external portion of an intraperitoneal catheter. By appropriate positioning of the containers and operation of the regulating means, used solution may be drained and fresh solution introduced.
