ABSTRACT:
An enclosure used in conjunction with an extracorporeal medical device for containing bodily fluid resulting from the occurrence of a rupture or leak during medical treatment includes a sleeve having an interior for receiving and surrounding the medical device. The sleeve is provided with two openings positioned at opposite ends of the sleeve for allowing tubing connected to the medical device to extend out of the sleeve. Each of the openings can be provided with an adhesive for closing the opening once the medical device is positioned in the interior of the sleeve to thereby define a closed environment within the interior of the sleeve. In accordance with another aspect of the invention, an enclosure for surrounding a portion of a patient's body that serves as an access site for accessing the patient's bodily fluid includes a sleeve having an interior. The sleeve is provided with open ends that allow a portion of the patient's body on opposite sides of the access site and tubing extending from the access site to extend out of the sleeve. An elastic band surrounds each of the openings so that the portion of the sleeve adjacent each opening closely contacts and surrounds the tubing as well as the portion of the patient's body extending through the opening.
