A connector system for medical use has a male connector (1), a protective cap (2), an inner cap (3) holding a disinfectant-impregnated member and received in the protective cap, and a female connector (4) whose inner tube is fixed to one end of an outer tube and where the inner tube has an inner end portion inside the outer tube and has an exposed outer end portion. The inner cap has an engagement leg having an engagement projection on it, and the engagement projection is engageable with the head of the female connector from the inside. An inner cap holding portion is formed on an inner wall surface of the protective cap, and an engaging force between the inner cap and the male connector is greater than a force with which the inner cap holding portion holds the inner cap. The protective cap holding the inner cap is installed in the male connector. When removing the protective cap afterward, the inner cap is separated from the protective cap while being held by the male connector, and when the male connector is connected to the female connector, the inner end portion of the inner tube penetrates through the disinfectant-impregnated member to open a flow path. Bacterial contamination can be reduced by simple operation when connection and separation are repeated. |
