ABSTRACT:
Peritoneal dialysis uses a system comprising (A) a first tube having a first connector attached thereto at one end and (B) a second tube connected to a dialysis fluid bag and having a second connector attached thereto at a free end, both the first and second tubes requiring to be in a sterile condition when connected. A medical container may be replaced by connecting the first connector to the second connector to provide fluid communication between the first and second tubes for allowing dialysis to be carried out, sealing the second tube at one or more positions at the end of dialysis, and cutting the second tube at a position nearer to the medical container with respect to the seal. The suspending section of the second tube with the second connector kept connected to the first connector serves as an antibacterial protective accessary for maintaining the connector connection in a sterile condition.
