<p>A medical valve transitions between an open mode that permits fluid flow, and a closed mode that prevents fluid flow. To that end, the valve has a housing with an inlet and an outlet, a post member moveably mounted within the housing and a distal seal member. The post member moves distally within the housing to fluidly connect the inlet and outlet upon insertion of a medical implement into the inlet. The post member also moves proximally within the housing to fluidly disconnect the inlet and outlet upon withdrawal of the medical implement. The distal seal member has a tapered wall region that surrounds a normally closed aperture. The distal movement of the post member opens the aperture and inverts the tapered wall region.</p>
