Abstract
Protective structure for a connection site for medical use, including connection sites having at least one valve (3) integral with an attachment panel, and a housing slidably mounted on the panel including two half-shells made of synthetic material. The half-shells are at lengthwise rear walls, provided on lengthwise front walls with elastic closing means and provided with foam padding, having depressions for fitting valves and tubes of the connection site. According to the invention the half-shells are articulated by independent, spaced hinges on thin, lengthwise edges of a rear transverse wall integral with a slide and movably mounted on the panel. The length of the panel is at least equal to a distance that the slide must travel to achieve total clearance of the connection site by the two half-shells in an open position.
