Corporeal Drainage System

摘要

A catheter connector assembly which may be included with a corporeal drainage system, and a method of draining fluid from a bodily cavity. The catheter connector assembly may include a catheter connector and a drainage line connector. The catheter connector may include a connector body with a coupling feature, a deformable sealing element, and a retaining member. The drainage line connector may include a drainage line body first and second hinge clips, and an actuator. The actuator is designed to deform the deformable sealing element when the drainage line connector is coupled to the catheter connector.

1. A catheter connector assembly, comprising:
a catheter connector, including:
a connector body having a bore and a coupling feature;a deformable sealing element; anda retaining member attached to the connector body over the deformable sealing element, capturing the deformable sealing element between the connector body and the retaining member; a drainage line connector including:
a drainage line body having a bore;a first hinge clip pivotably affixed to a first side of the drainage line body;a second hinge clip pivotably affixed to a second side of the drainage line body opposite the first side, each of the first and second hinge clips including a first end and a second end, the second end including an engagement feature designed to engage the coupling feature of the connector body; andan actuator having a lumen in fluid communication with the drainage line body bore, the actuator designed to deform the deformable sealing element when the drainage line connector is coupled to the catheter connector.
