CATHETER CONNECTOR INCLUDING SEAL RING AND METHOD

摘要

A catheter connector includes an outlet tube (34, 36), and a compression seal (140) defining an undulating shape to produce ring seals during use. A cam slot formed on a lever arm is useable in locking a locking sleeve (120) of the connector. The lever arm acts as a compensating mechanism for over compression of the seal. The catheter tip (32a) is received in a tip recess (92) of the connector. The connector is useable on an implanted port (20), including a dual port with parallel outlet tubes (34, 36), and a dual lumen catheter (24).
