Abstract
A sheath can be used to protect a catheter hub from contamination. The sheath can surround the catheter hub and seal the interface between the catheter hub and a needleless connector. The sheath can be installed onto the catheter hub either before or after the needleless connector has been connected to the catheter hub.
Claims (16)
1 . A method of establishing a medical fluid connection in an intravenous infusion catheter system between a first medical connector and a second medical connector with enhanced contamination prevention, the method comprising:
providing a first medical connector comprising a male luer end having a male luer and a shroud surrounding at least a portion of the male luer,
providing a second medical connector comprising a complimentary end being configured to fluidly connect to the male luer end of the first medical connector,
providing an elastomeric sealing member being configured to engage with an outer surface of the shroud of the first medical connector to form a first seal between the elastomeric sealing member and the shroud, the elastomeric sealing member including a middle section with opposing side portions extending wider than the shroud of the first medical connector, the middle section configured to be pinched to open an end of the elastomeric sealing member to facilitate passage of the second medical connector; and
connecting the complimentary end of the second medical connector to the male luer end of the first medical connector to establish fluid tight communication between the first medical connector and the second medical connector, wherein the elastomeric sealing member seals against the second medical connector to effect the enhanced contamination prevention between the first and second medical connectors in an intravenous infusion catheter system.
2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the elastomeric sealing member is stretched to engage the outer surface of the shroud of the first medical connector.
3 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the first seal extends between the elastomeric sealing member and the first medical connector along an entire circumference of the outer surface of the shroud.
4 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the elastomeric sealing member seals an interface between the second medical connector and the first medical connector.
5 . The method of claim 1 , wherein a portion of the elastomeric sealing member is positioned between the shroud and the second medical connector.
6 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the elastomeric sealing member extends around the second medical connector.
7 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the elastomeric sealing member comprises a passageway extending through the elastomeric sealing member, and wherein the passageway is configured to receive at least the portion of the complimentary end.
8 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the first seal comprises a water-tight seal.
9 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the complimentary end of the second medical connector comprises a radially extending portion.
10 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the second medical connector is connected to a tubing.
11 . The method of claim 10 , wherein the elastomeric sealing member is configured to extend over the second medical connector and to provide a seal with the tubing.
12 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the elastomeric sealing member is configured to completely enclose the second medical connector.
