  • a partial shell cover can protect a connector assembly from manipulation by the patient, including manipulation of a tubing connector engaging percutaneous tubing. Additionally or alternatively, a partial shell cover can provide containment of connector assembly. That is, mating of first branch 20 to the remainder of connector assembly 10 can become disconnected, for example due to inadvertent manipulation of latch button 14 by the action of a patient. Partial shell cover 400 can retain one or more mating portions of connector assembly 10, for example and as embodied herein, first branch 20 and the remainder of connector assembly 10, within the interior region 404 of the partial shell cover 400. In this manner, displacement of one or more portions of connector assembly 10, and percutaneous tubing 50 disposed therein, including inner J-tube (if provided) extending therethrough, can be prevented or inhibited. Additionally or alternatively, access to the tubing connector 40 can be prevented or inhibited when disposed within interior region 404 of the partial shell cover 400, for example to prevent or inhibit inadvertent disconnection of

Abstract

L'invention concerne un cache-coque pour un ensemble raccord possédant un raccord de tubes Le cache-coque comprend un corps délimitant une région intérieure dimensionnée pour recevoir au moins une longueur d'un ensemble raccord comprenant un raccord de tubes. Le corps comprend une première partie paroi latérale s'articulant sur une seconde partie paroi latérale. La première partie paroi latérale est mobile par rapport à la seconde partie paroi latérale entre une position ouverte et une position fermée. Les première et seconde parties parois latérales, dans la position ouverte, délimitent une ouverture s'étendant entre une extrémité proximale et une extrémité distale du corps pour accès transversale de la longueur de l'ensemble raccord dans la région intérieure. Les première et seconde parties parois latérales, dans la position fermée, recouvrent la longueur de l'ensemble raccord pour empêcher ou interdire l'accès au raccord de tubes quand il est disposé dans la région intérieure.
