Abstract
A protective shroud for a connection site also strengthens the connection site by restraining movement of the connection site in a manner which would cause its separation. One end of the protective shroud is buttressed to resist yielding in response to forces acting upon the connection site. When an oversized connection site is inserted into the shroud, the shroud provides a camming action which compresses the connection site to a length which securely nests within the shroud.
