Abstract
A cover for a percutaneous connector extending through the skin of a patient. The cover includes a structure having an inner side and an outer side. A first separable connector is mounted to the structure and disposed entirely within the structure, the first separable connector being configured to detachably engage and electrically connect with the percutaneous connector. A second separable connector is mounted to the structure and electrically connected to the first separable connector, the second separable connector being exposed at the outer side of the structure and being configured to detachably engage and electrically connect with an external device. The inner side of the structure defines a skin-engaging surface at least partially surrounding the first separable connector and the percutaneous connector, when the first separable connector is engaged with the percutaneous connector.
