Abstract: A method and apparatus for improving the service life of thermoplastic resin articles exposed on one side to a fluid, such as heated water or air. The thermoplastic resin article, such as a pipe or tank liner, contains a minor proportion of an additive such as an anti-oxidant, an ultraviolet stabilizer, a plasticizer, or a heat stabilizer. During exposure to the fluid, the additive tends to migrate toward the exposed surface and be leached from the resin setting up a concentration gradient throughout the thickness of the resin article. A layer containing a quantity of the additive is applied to the outer unexposed surface of the thermoplastic article, and the concentration gradient causes the additive from the outer layer to diffuse inwardly through the wall of the article to replace the additive lost by exposure to the fluid, thereby substantially increasing the service life of the thermoplastic article and providing additional amounts of additive by an effective time release mechanism.

Abstract: An assembly for supporting a cannula comprises a hub which supports the cannula and which includes a post portion which concentrically surrounds a section of the cannula adjacent to the hub. The assembly also includes a cover which is attachable to the post portion of the hub to enclose the cannula.

The connection can be broken in response to the deliberate application of a predetermined rotational force by the user upon the cover and cannot thereafter be recreated, thereby serving as an outward indication that the sterile integrity of the cannula has been compromised. Both the post portion and the cover remain physically intact, despite the breakage of the connection, to permit return of the cover when desired.
