Abstract

See full text

A tether-retained dialyzer port cap has a port cap which is removably connectible to a port of a dialyzer to block the port, and a retention strap that has a first looped end, a second looped end, and having an elongate portion integrally linking the first looped end and the second looped end. The first looped end is adapted to engage around curved sidewalls defining a circumferential surface of a dialyzer component, and the second looped end is i) integrally molded to the port cap, or ii) adapted to fit around an outer surface of a cap stem of the port cap. A dialyzer with the tether-retained dialyzer port cap further is described. The tether-retained dialyzer port cap tethers a port cap to a dialyzer for safe and convenient retention of the cap near the dialyzer for ready re-use to reseal a port of a used dialyzer for disposal handling.
