Problems solved by technology

However, especially considering the fact that a double patient connector is only required in about 10% of cases, the additional patient connector together with the short hose is relatively expensive and only one separation can be done in total with the same hose set and connection process

Embodiment Construction

[0030] As shown in FIG. 1 , a simple embodiment of the device according to the invention is such that a sterile closure 1 is arranged on a cylindrical tube section 2 fastened to the bottom of a protective cap 3 . The protective cover 3 is used to operate the device so that the closure plug 1 and the tube section 2 do not have to be touched during reloading of the patient connector PK.

[0031] FIG. 2 a shows the start of the reloading process of the patient connector PK as known from DE 198 14 047 C1: the button 4 of the patient connector PK is still in the sunken position due to the previous insertion of the closure plug. The tube section 2 with the new sterile closing plug 1 is inserted into the end of the patient connector PK opposite the button 4 , which is designed in the form of a socket, until the new closing plug 1 rests against the bottom of the button 4 . Next (Figure 2b), the internal thread 5 of the protective cover 3 is screwed onto the external thread 6 of the pa...

Abstract

The invention relates to a device for introducing a plug into the peritoneal dialysis connector of a patient. The aim of the invention is to enable any number of disconnecting / connecting processes to be carried out in patient connectors that introduce a sterile plug into the connection of the patient in the stomach during the disconnection process. To this end, the invention relates to a device for introducing a plug into the peritoneal dialysis connector of a patient, said device consisting of a housing containing a plug, and means for transferring the plug from the device into the connectorof the patient. One such device can be used to introduce a new plug, under sterile conditions, into a patient connector comprising a plug that has already been used. For a plug such as that describedin the application DE 198 14 047 Cl, the introduction of a new plug causes the push-button with which the plug is inserted to return to its initial position, so that the patient connector is ready for a new connection / disconnection process. In this way, a multiple reintroduction of plugs into the connector of a patient is feasible. The invention is advantageous in that costs are only incurred as a result of an intentional connection / disconnection process.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a device and method for inserting a closure plug into a patient connector for peritoneal dialysis. Background technique [0002] Patient connectors for peritoneal dialysis are known, for example, from EP 0 715 860 B1 or DE 198 14 047 C1. It enables a sterile connection and separation within the scope of peritoneal dialysis treatment. After the peritoneal dialysis has ended, with the aid of such a patient connector, a closure plug is inserted into the connector of the tube that enters the patient's peritoneal cavity. The access to the patient's abdominal cavity is thus sterilely closed. [0003] If the patient wishes to disconnect and reconnect the hose set, this is in principle possible without the closure plug being used. Therefore, detachment and reattachment two or more times is not possible. This problem has hitherto been solved by arranging two patient connectors, each with a closure plug, separately behind one...
