    Abstract: Disclosed herein are embodiments of a connector system for releasably connecting together tubes, whereby the connector system includes a first coupler including a first coupler passageway disposed therein, and a first coupler elastically deformable valve operable to seal the first coupler passageway from the external environment. The connector system further includes a second coupler including a second coupler passageway disposed therein, and a second coupler elastically deformable valve operable to seal the second coupler passageway from the external environment.
    The first and second couplers can be substantially identical; thus, the couplers can be genderless, as opposed to a connector system comprising male and female couplers.
    The connector system can further include a first coupler valve operable to interrupt fluid flow through the first coupler passageway, and a second coupler valve operable to interrupt fluid flow through the second coupler passageway.

    Abstract: The disclosed tamper-evident closure encloses a medical access device, such as a vascular access device, such that it will be visibly apparent if the medical access device contained in the tamper-evident closure becomes exposed. The tamper-evident closure cannot be reapplied over the medical access device in a way to look the same as it did prior to exposing the medical access device. The tamper-evident closures comprise a securing strap with a first securing strap portion secured to the first part of the tamper-evident closure, a second securing strap portion with a free end for securing to a second part of the tamper-evident closure, and an area of weakness separating the first securing strap portion from the second securing strap portion. The force to break the area of weakness is less than the force to separate the securing strap from the first part or second part.

    Abstract: A medical connector can include a threaded connection fitting configured to couple to a medical implement by rotation of the medical implement in a tightening direction relative to the threaded connection fitting. The threaded connection fitting can include one or more first engagement features. The connector can have a fluid pathway for transferring fluid through the device and a rotation mechanism. The rotation mechanism permits the threaded connection fitting to rotate in a loosening direction relative to the housing, such as to impede unintended disconnection of the medical implement from the threaded connection fitting. In some cases, the connector can have a disengaged configuration that permits the threaded connection fitting to rotate relative to the housing in the tightening direction and in the loosening direction.
