ABSTRACT:
Apparatus for protecting the outwardly extending portion, for example, the distal end, of an indwelling medical treatment device, for example, a catheter, are disclosed. Such apparatus include an at least partially transparent receptacle defining a chamber sized and adapted to receive an outwardly extending portion of an indwelling medical treatment device, an inlet in the receptacle through which the outwardly extending portion is passed to be received by the chamber, and a securement member on the receptacle adapted to be secured to the human or animal patient so as to substantially prevent liquid contamination of the outwardly extending portion received in the chamber.
