IMPROVEMENTS RELATING TO SELF-SEALING CONNECTORS

摘要

A self-sealing connector (1) has a housing (5) including a neck (5a); a base (3); a substantially hollow pin (9( extending up through said base into said housing. The holiow pin has a tip portion (9b) and at least one aperture (11). A resilient member (7) is mounted about said pin, the resilient member having a sealing end (7c) for sealing the at east one aperture. A surface of the sealing end and a surface of the tip portion of the pin together define a receiving surface (40) for an in-flow nozzle (22), syringe nib, tubing connector or equivalent. The resilient member further includes a flange (26) adapted to maintain a seal with a surface of the housing neck when the resilient member is in a first position and the at least one aperture is sealed.
