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 hollow 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 least one aperture. A surface of the sealing end and a surface of the tip portion of the pin together define a receiving surface for an in-flow nozzle 22, syringe nib, tubing connector or equivalent. The resilient member further includes a flange adapted to maintain a seal with a surface of the housing neck when the resilient member is in a first unengaged position and the at least one aperture is sealed. In use, the sealing end is adapted to circumferentially seal around the hollow pin below the at least one aperture when the resilient member is axially compressed below the tip portion of the pin. |
