The present invention relates to a method of replacing a central line cap to a catheter, and a kit for central line cap care and replacement.

A collapsible product has a tubular body of resilient material, the tubular body having an outer surface and an inner surface, a length, a wall between the outer surface and the inner surface, and a longitudinal axis. The tubular body wall is split longitudinally along its length, at a first perimeter location on the tube. The tubular body wall is also cut longitudinally along its length, partially through its wall thickness from the inner surface, at one or more inner perimeter locations. The tubular body wall is further cut longitudinally along its length, partially through its wall thickness from the outer surface, at two or more outer perimeter locations. The longitudinal cuts enable a controlled collapse of the tubular body, which can be efficiently packaged for shipping. The collapsible product may be tubular fiberglass pipe insulation, or another kind of product.

A self-cleaning system for a collapsible straw is an apparatus that houses and cleans a collapsible straw. The apparatus includes an elongated casing, a plurality of scrubbing rods, and, preferably, a collapsible straw. The elongated casing protects and positions both the plurality of scrubbing rods and the collapsible straw. The plurality of scrubbing rods secures the position of the collapsible straw within the elongated casing while scrubbing the interior of the collapsible straw. The collapsible straw allows a user to drink a beverage with a personal and reusable straw. Moreover, the collapsible straw preserves the compact nature of the apparatus while in a storage configuration within the elongated casing. The apparatus further includes a lid to fully enclose the collapsible straw within the elongated casing. The lid is preferably locked and unlocked with the elongated casing with a locking mechanism.

A compact bendable cargo securement device for stabilizing unrestrained items in the bed or cargo area of a pick-up truck or storage area in a motorhome or recreational trailer is disclosed. It may also be used as a stabilizer doing woodwork and other jobs that require stability of the work platform. The device will conform to any surface and has the ability to wrap around objectsboth regular and irregular shapedand will hold them and keep them from shifting. As disclosed, the bendable cargo securement device is composed of a flexible tube loaded with filler material when used and deployed for securing objects. The flexible tube is preferably fabricated from rubber or any material allowing sufficient flexibility for the cargo securement device to wrap around items while having suitable strength to avoid puncture/destruction from deployment. Each end of the device requires a closure to contain the filler material.

A carrying case with an elastic smoking implement positioned between a tubular housing and a tubular cover makes it convenient to store and seal a tubular container with smoking material (such as tobacco or cannabis) between smoking sessions. A push-and-turn lock prevents the opening of the carrying case by minors. The carrying case has an internal cavity sized to accept the tubular container, the elastic smoking implement, and the smoke filter inside thereof.
