An aseptic coupling arrangement (50) including a first coupling device (100a) and a second aseptic coupling device (100b) is disclosed. The first and second coupling devices are substantially similar, each having a main body (102) defining a front face and a fluid passageway (108) therethrough. A first connecting feature disposed on the main body of each coupling device (100a , 100b) may be provided for aligning and coupling the aseptic devices together. Each coupling device may also include a sealing member received in the main body (102) and a membrane (400) removably coupled to the main body front face to cover the sealing member. The first aseptic coupling device may also include a rotatable protective cover (300) that is removably attached to the main body (102) and connected to the membrane (400). The removal of the protective covers (300) away from two coupled main bodies (102) , in a direction parallel to the front faces causes removal of the membranes (400). |
