摘要： A connector for use in a contaminated environment is provided. The connector includes first and second couplers which are coupled together to produce a fluid path through the connector. Prior to coupling of the first and second couplers, the first and second couplers include plastic caps for minimizing the contaminants on the couplers. Elastomer face seals which can be contaminated are mated against one another compressing to expel contaminants and trapping contaminants between the elastomer face seals. The elastomer face seals are captured between a pair of O-rings. Parts of the elastomer face seals are flushed with fluid as the connector is coupled to further reduce contamination. All internal passages and the elastomer face seals are treated with an antimicrobial compound. The connector vents to the atmosphere during engagement of the first and second couplers such that the connector can operate at a higher pressure with reduced engagement force.

摘要： There are provided a male type connector (1), a protective cap (2), an inner cap (3) that supports a disinfectant-impregnated member therein and is retained in the protective cap, and a female type connector (4) in which an inner cylinder is fixed at an end of an outer cylinder, the inner cylinder including an internal end portion located inside the outer cylinder and an exposed external end portion. The inner cap includes engaging legs at each of which an engaging convexity is formed. A front end portion of the male type connector allows the engaging convexities at the engaging legs to engage therewith from inside. An inner cap retaining portion is formed on an inner wall surface of the protective cap, and a force exerted by the engagement between the inner cap and the male type connector is larger than a force exerted by the inner cap retaining portion to retain the inner cap. When the protective cap with the inner cap retained therein is fitted with the male type connector, and then is removed from the male type connector, the inner cap is retained in the male type connector and is detached from the protective cap. When the male type connector is connected with the female type connector, the internal end portion of the inner cylinder penetrates through the disinfectant-impregnated member, so that a channel is opened. When the connecting and detaching are repeated, the bacterial contamination can be reduced with a simple operation.

摘要： A connector is constructed from a male connector having a cavity and a female connector having a cavity to which the other male connector similar to the male connector can be connected. The connector has a male lock section and a female lock section to which the other male lock section similar to the male lock section can be coupled. When the connector is in a locked state where the female lock section and the other male lock section are coupled, the female connector and the other male connector are connected such that the cavities are communicated with each other to enable liquid to flow.

摘要： A shunt system quick connector assembly to quickly connect and disconnect a catheter to a hydrocephalus shunt system comprising a valve in a valve housing. The catheter is affixed to the quick connector assembly. The quick connector assembly snaps over an external barb on the valve housing of the shunt system with an audible sound, so that the surgeon knows that connection has been made. The connector assembly can be operated quickly, minimizing the time for the surgical procedure and the opportunity for infection. The connector assembly has smooth surfaces to minimize the growing of tissue into the connection.

摘要： A fluid connection comprised of a first fitting having a body with a first end and a second end. A passage extends through the body from the first end to the second end. A bracket is mounted to the second end of the body. The bracket defines a space adjacent the second end. A mounting element is provided for mounting the first end of the body to a fluid inlet line. A piston is movable within the passage. The piston has an inlet side facing the first end of the body and an outlet side facing the second end of the body. Apertures through the piston fluidly connect the inlet side of the piston to the outlet side of the piston. A second fitting, having a fluid opening therethrough, is dimensioned to be slidably received within the space adjacent the second end of the fitting. The piston is movable into engagement with the second fitting with the apertures in the piston communicating with the fluid opening in the second fitting.

摘要： A device for connecting or disconnecting cannula to or from a tube. The connection is uncomplicted, quick, safe and provides reproducible conditions in a surgical procedure for connecting to a blood pump that assists the heart or replaces the heart. A nipple (4) is formed on the tube (5) which is inserted into the cannula (7). A rotatable claw ring (1), which is arranged on a cannula end (71) for displacement to a stop (2, 62), can be rotatably joined with a locking ring (3) which is secured to a tube end (51) by axial movement and latching engagement with the locking ring (3). The connection is releasable by rotating the claw ring (1) and pulling the claw ring (1) and the cannula apart in an axial direction.

摘要： An improved injection site (12) for infusion of parenteral fluids and the like is provided, having a pressure-actuated valve (20) and a novel split septum unit (24), which effectively prevent reflux of blood into the assembly (10). The septum unit (24) includes a resilient split septum body (64) which is precompressed so that the septum body (64) is caused to protrude proximally (78) upon insertion of a cannula (16). Consequently, upon removal of the cannula (16), there is essentially no “drumming” or creation of friction-induced negative pressures sufficient to generate blood reflux. The preloaded septum body (64) also has its proximal surface (74) essentially flush and coplanar with the adjacent proximal end (66b) of the tubular septum holder (66) to enhance the cleanliness of the unit (24). The specialized well (46) and septum unit (24) afford a resilient seal between the periphery of the septum body (64) and the surface (50), and a separate hard-surface seal between the outer margin of the surface (50) and the septum holder (66).
