<p>A medical connector assembly (26) comprises a connector body (30) having a fluid passage there through, a valve member (32), and means, responsive to a compressive force placed on the medical connector, for permitting a fluid to freely communicate between openings in the connector body. The valve member (32) can be constructed using a single element having a slit therein or it can be constructed using two separate halves which when joined together form an interface slit. In a preferred embodiment, when a compressive force is exerted against the connector body, sufficient distortion is experienced by the valve member (32) to open the slit and permit fluid flow between connector body openings.</p> |
