MEDICAL CONNECTOR FOR A RESPIRATORY ASSEMBLY

摘要

A connection assembly (10) for use with a respiratory circuit assembly is provided. The connection assembly includes a first connection member (12) th at has an opening therethrough to allow for the transport of fluids and objects through the first connection member (12). The first connection member has a recess on an end thereof. A second connection member (14) is present that is releaseably engageable with the first connection member (12). The second connection member (14) has an opening therethrough to allow for the transpor t of fluids and objects through the second connection member (14). The second connection member (14) has a disconnect member (16, 32) may be present on at least one of the first and second connection members (12, 14). The snap fit (16, 32) member hinders unintentional disengagement of the first and second connection members (12, 14). Relative movement between the first connection member and the disconnect member causes a separation of the first and second connection members (12, 14).
