Sterile connection system using flexible container

摘要

A sterile connector system is provided for continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis in which a dialysate solution container having a transfer port is coupled to tubing extending from a patient's peritoneal cavity. The transfer port is connected to one end of a flexible housing and the patient's tubing is connected to the opposite end of the flexible housing. A sterilizing agent is introduced into the housing and in contact with the transfer port and the patient's tubing. The sterilized transfer port is thereafter connected to the sterilized patient's tubing within the housing.
