VALVE, IMPLANT INCLUDING THE VALVE, FLUID TRANSFER ARRANGEMENT, AND METHOD OF TREATMENT USING THE SAME

摘要

A valve includes a housing with a cavity having at least one connector fluidically connecting the cavity to an outside of the housing and a plug that is movable within the housing. The plug is movable at least between a first position that substantially occludes fluidic communication between the cavity and an outside of the housing through the at least one connector and a second position that allows fluidic communication between the cavity and the outside of the housing through the at least one connector. The valve also includes a septum in operable communication with the housing that is sealingly penetrable by a fluid transfer device, wherein the fluid transfer device is capable of moving the plug between at least the first position and the second position.
