Appl. No.:

6/157268

Inventors:

Phillip P. Rogers - Rolling Hills Estates CA

International Classification:

A61J 700

US Classification:

128213A

Abstract:

A connector for an ambulatory dialysis system which effectively prevents peritoneal infections such as peritonitis. The connector is comprised of a cylinder containing a disinfecting solution which continuously bathes the male and female connectors of a tube during use. A highly absorbent material is packed in the cylinder and saturated with a disinfectant and bathes the male and female connectors when connection is made and continually bathes them during use. A connection is provided by a male fitting on the end of a tube connected to a bag of dialysate fluid or an abdominal tube which may be inserted into the female connector on an opposing tube. Male connector is inserted into the female connector through the cylinder containing the absorbent material saturated with the disinfectant. The absorbent material is packed such that the male connector contacts the absorbent material during insertion to disinfect the opposing ends simultaneously while connection is being made.

Abstract:

An ambulatory dialysis system and connector which effectively prevents peritoneal infections such as peritonitis. The connector is comprised of a cylinder containing a disinfecting solution which continuously bathes the male and female connectors of a tube during use. A highly absorbent material is packed in the cylinder and saturated with a disinfectant and bathes the male and female connectors when connection is made and continually bathes them during use. A connection is provided by a male fitting on the end of a tube connected to a container of dialysate fluid or an abdominal opposing tube. A male connector is inserted into the female connector through the cylinder containing the absorbent material saturated with the disinfectant. The absorbent material is packed such that the male connector contacts the absorbent material during insertion to disinfect the opposing ends simultaneously while connection is being made. Once the dialysate fluid is delivered to the patient through the connector, the tube may be pulled off the outer end of the male connector to remove the empty containers.
