The invention provides a device for connecting together two medical appliances so as to allow and/or control the flow of fluid between the appliances. The device comprises an intermediate conduit means (1-5) having two inlets to which the appliances may be connected; and a fluid directing means (9-16) located inside the intermediate conduit means (1-5) and moveable linearly therewithin, the fluid directing means (9-16) being operable to allow or restrict the flow of fluid, via the intermediate conduit means (1-5), between the two appliances when they are connected to the conduit means (1-5), depending on the linear position of the fluid directing means (9-16) inside the conduit means (1-5). The invention also provides such a device in combination with a medical appliance connectable to the device; connecting means for use as part of the device; support means for use as part of the device; a medical appliance incorporating such connecting means; fluid directing means for use as part of the device; support means for use as part of the device; and a method for controlling the flow of fluid between two or more medical appliances, using the device. |
