    摘要: A medical female connector (10) for controlling a fluid flow is disclosed, as well as a method for its manufacturing, and medical devices including such a female connector. A tubular plunger (40) and a flexible valve member (60) are inserted into a housing (20). A distal end (42) of the plunger (40) is located at a distance proximally from the distal end (22) of the housing (20). In a flow stop configuration, the flexible valve member (60) seals a flow path (44) through the tubular plunger (40). In a flow configuration, the valve member (60) is compressed by a male connector (90) and deformed by the plunger (40) to allow a fluid flow through the plunger (40). A frusto-conical female sealing surface (24) is arranged to form a seal with the male connector (90). An entrance opening (25) of the housing (20) presents a diameter equal to or larger than the maximum diameter (d1) of the female sealing surface (24).

    摘要: Some embodiments are directed to a connector for connection with a fluid transfer device, including an outer body having a longitudinal axis; and a luer lock connection port positioned within the outer body and configured to be coupled with an external port of said fluid transfer device. The luer lock connection port can be rotatable about the longitudinal axis at least in one of a clockwise direction and a counter-clockwise direction at least prior to initiation of coupling thereof with the external port. The outer body can be structured, and the luer lock connection port is positioned therewithin, such that to prevent an operator to access, through the outer body, directly by fingertips an exterior of the luer lock connection port after the luer lock connection port has been coupled with the external port.
