MEDICAL VALVE WITH EXPANDABLE MEMBER

摘要

A medical valve (10) 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 (110) and an outlet (120), and actuator (330) moveable distally within the housing. The medical valve also has a resilient member (340) with an aperture (350). The distal movement of the actuator opens the aperture within the resilient member, thereby transitioning the medical valve from the open to the closed mode.
