Abstract
A male insert for draining fluid from a patient is provided. The male insert includes a housing, a valve stem supported by the housing for pivotal movement about an axis from an extended position allowing insertion into the patient to a retracted position preventing re-insertion into the patient, a tube connected to the valve stem and supported by the housing for rotational movement about the axis, the tube and the valve stem forming a contiguous channel through which the fluid drains, a stop preventing rotational movement of the tube in a first position and allowing rotational movement of the tube in a second position, and a locking tab engaging one of the valve stem and the tube when the valve stem is in the retracted position.
