Abstract
A luer connector assembly () including a luer connector body (), a luer cap () and a protective flexible sleeve (). The protective sleeve is assembled to the distal end () of the luer cap () to define a cap/sleeve subassembly (), and the luer cap proximal end () is removably affixable to the distal end () of the luer connector (). A prepared end () of a proximal catheter lumen () of a patient-implanted catheter assembly is inserted through the protective sleeve () and through and beyond the luer cap () to be affixed to the luer connector distal end (). The luer cap/sleeve subassembly () is then slid proximally to be removably affixed to the luer connector distal end (), whereafter the clamp () on the catheter lumen () is positionable onto and around the protective sleeve (), to protect the catheter lumen () during clamping.
