Abstract

An improved connecting device for medical liquid containers comprises an elongated tubular member having a lumen extending therethrough. Pivotable finger tabs are hingedly attached to and extend from the elongate tubular member, adapted for engagement with the fingers so as to facilitate application of the device to the liquid container. The finger tabs are pivotable in order to allow folding of the tabs against the elongate tubular member in a first position or selective extension of the tabs to a position perpendicular from the tubular member prior to use. The tabs are thereby compactly stored so that when a bag, such as a peritoneal dialysis or irrigation bag must be carried by the patient, the tabs are not in an extended position which would cause discomfort to the patient.
