Abstract
A multiple adapter device is provided for use with a variety of tubular connectors. A body member adapted for connection to a catheter or container is provided with an adapter passage therethrough of a diameter convenient for use with relatively large connectors likely to be encountered during use of the catheter or container to which the device is attached. A flexible strap is secured on one end to the body member and extends outwardly. An adapter member having an adapter passage therethrough and having an outside diameter corresponding to the body member passage is secured to the strap a sufficient distance from the body member to permit the adapter member to be inserted into the body member passage by folding the strap. The adapter member passage has a diameter convenient for use with smaller connectors likely to be encountered during use of the catheter or container to which the device is attached. A plug sized to fit the adapter member passage is secured to the strap farther along its length at a sufficient distance from the adapter member to permit the plug to be inserted into the adapter member passage by folding the strap.
