SPECIFICATION CONNECTOR FOR AMBULATORY DIALYSIS SYSTEM Abstract of the Invention A connector for an ambulatory dialysis system which effectively prevents peritoneal infections such as peritoni- tis. The connector is comprised of a cylinder containing a disinfecting solution which continuously bathes the male and female connectors of a tube during use. A highly absorbent material is packed in the cylinder and saturated with a dis- infectant and bathes the male and female connectors when connection is made and continually bathes them during use. A connection is provided by a male fitting on the end of a tube connected to a bag of dialysate fluid or an abdominal tube which may be inserted in the female connector on an opposing tube. Male connector is inserted into the female connector through the cylinder containing the absorbent material saturated with the disinfectant. The absorbent ma- terial is packed such that the male connector contacts the absorbent material during insertion to disinfect the opposing ends simultaneously while connection is being made.
