Claims30
A port cleaner for cleaning a device port, comprising:
- a reservoir comprising a housing having an opening and a reservoir flange formed along the opening end of the reservoir and extending outwards away from the interior of the reservoir;
- a membrane affixed over the opening of the reservoir;
- wherein the membrane further comprising a membrane flange extending circumferentially outwards;
- wherein the membrane and reservoir are configured to couple together with the bottom surface of the membrane flange contacting the top surface of the reservoir flange;
- wherein the membrane comprises internal threading extending into the reservoir and configured to be threaded onto a device port and secure the device port from withdrawal;
- and
- wherein the membrane further comprises a lip ring, the lip ring configured to contact a device port and form a seal when the device port is inserted into the membrane.
