ABSTRACT:
There is disclosed an apparatus comprising a hub that includes an annular container disposed about a central aperture for receiving an exterior portion of an indwelling tube therethrough to engage a bottom portion of the container in sealing contact with the implantation site. An extensible impervious membrane is folded within the container and is in sealing contact therewith, the membrane being arranged to form an open sleeve for receiving the tube and being coextensible therewith during withdrawal of the tube. A tie is provided to seal the sleeve about the exterior wall of tube, leaving the free end of the tube accessible to the operator. The indwelling tube can then be withdrawn through the central aperture into the coextending closed sleeve. A plastic film that adheres to the bottom portion of the container is provided for closing the central aperture to enclose the removed tube in the sleeve.
