A connector is provided for holding a deformable tube, and includes a connection head, an inner portion extending from the head, an outer portion extending from the head and at least partially surrounding the inner portion to define a tube entry passage, the entry passage has a constricting area of lesser width than the width of the tube wall, and the outer and inner portions move relative to each other to allow entry of the tube past the constricting area and further into the passage, after insertion of the tube past the constricting area, and on application of a translational force to the tube, the outer and inner portions are configured to bear further against the elastically deformable tube such that the tube is held between the inner and the outer portions. At least one of the outer portion and the inner portion is at least partially helical in construction. |
