Dialysis Tubing Connection Improvement

Reference #:

2007-122

Inventors/Contributors

Kevin E. Bennet, Steven D. Deick, Steven R. Jurrens, Christopher J. Kimble, Alexander D. Streeter, Mark L. Weerheim

Description

We have developed a "clip" that will fit over the 3 most common dialysis machine-to-patient tubing sets. The clip fits over the "luer lock" only when the luer lock is appropriately closed. This ensures the luer lock is tightened properly and also ensures it will not separate. A luer lock that separates during use could have a significant impact on the patient, including death.

Patent Status
