Abstract
A contamination protector for a medical device, principally for use in surrounding and protecting a connection between a plastic dialysis solution container (10) and tubing (22) carried by a patient practicing continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis. The protector is generally cylindrical in shape, and opens and closes much like a 'clamshell.' The inner wall surface (34) of the protector is adapted to carry a material (36) which holds a sterilizing agent in contact with a medical connection when the protector is in the closed position.
