Abstract
A connector for use in peritoneal dialysis, includes a base body having a first tube for attachment of a container for dialysis solution, and a second tube for attachment of a peritoneal catheter. Positioned in a passageway between the first tube and the second tube is a closure piece which so interacts with an actuator that an operation of the actuator causes the closure piece to move in a linear direction from a first position into a second position in which the fluid flow between the first tube and the second tube is closed while the first tube is sealed off.
Claims11
A connector for use in peritoneal dialysis, said connector comprising:
- a base body having a first tube for attachment of a container for dialysis solution, and a second tube for attachment of a peritoneal catheter;
- a closure piece accommodated in the base body and so disposed in a first position between the first tube and the second tube as to allow a fluid flow between the first tube and the second tube;
- and
- an actuator provided on the base body and so interacting with the closure piece that an operation of the actuator causes the closure piece to move in a linear direction from the first position into a second position in which the fluid flow between the first tube and the second tube is closed while the first tube is sealed off.
