A pre-slit injection site includes a housing with a flow path therethrough. A first end of the housing carries a pre-slit septum. One form of a blunt cannula, usable with the injection site, carries a locking member. When the pre-slit injection site slidably receives the blunt cannula, the locking member latches to the injection site and creates a mechanically coupled unit. Another form of the cannula includes a tube having a tapered distal end region and having elongate discharge slots for reducing contact surface area and for directing the flow laterally out of the cannula. The cannula may also include a rounded lead post, an annular barb, and axially oriented grooves.

[ What is claimed is:] [1.] A cannula and injection site in combination comprising:an injection site having a housing defining a fluid flow path therein and having a penetrable sealing means for sealing said housing;a cannula having at least one tube defining a fluid flow path therein, said tube extending through said sealing means to establish a sealed fluid flow connection with said injection site, said tube having a distal end region extending beyond said injection site and having a tapered surface on said distal end region; andsaid tube defining in said distal end region a plurality of elongate slots oriented parallel to said fluid flow path, each slot extending from said flow path to the exterior of said tube thereby decreasing the exterior contact surface area of said tube and accommodating a lateral discharge of fluid from said tube.
