FLUID TRANSFER DEVICES

摘要

A fluid transfer device such as a syringe (302) comprises a fluid chamber (304) in communication with a male connector tip (306). The male connector tip (306) is tapered to form a friction fit when inserted in a corresponding female hub. A disconnecting member e.g. in the form of a lever member (314) has a front surface (318) moveable along the male connector tip (306) between a first position proximal to the fluid chamber (304) and a second position spaced from the first position towards a distal end of the male connector tip (306) so as to release the friction fit. A catch (324) is arranged to catch the female hub after it has been released from the friction fit by the lever member (314) moving towards the second position. The catch (324) may be released when the lever member (314) pivots back towards the first position under the resilient bias of a spring tongue (322).
