ABSTRACT:
An aseptic protective barrier device around sterile medical solution administration conduit connections is provided by an aseptic connection barrier system and method which reduces patient inconvenience, mess and chance of leakage and minimizes the risk of touch contamination during application while ensuring continuous antiseptic activity around the entire connection site. A barrier device is comprised of a contoured plastic housing formed by mating cavity halves joined along a hinge line, an absorbent member contained within the interior of the housing and a sealing tab attached to one of the housing halves for holding them together when folded along the hinge line. In use, the absorbent member has antiseptic solution applied to it and the housing is positioned to surround the connection site and compress the absorbent member and sealed in place to form a surrounding protective barrier and seal. The plastic protection enclosure barrier device is advantageously removably held on an applicator support, such as a card, in the open position to facilitate wetting of the inner absorbent member and provide a convenient and easy means for handling to facilitate application to the connection site.
