There is disclosed a cutting means magazine for a sterile docking device for forming a connection between two thermoplastic tubes comprising a casing, a stack of disposable cutting means therein, and spring means urging the stack against a wall of the casing. The casing has an exit slot for ejection of the uppermost cutting means and a slot for an ejector, the latter slot having upstream and downstream access openings. The upstream access opening (a) has an ejector aligning surface with a rise of at least about 0.25 mm and a slope of up to 45 DEG and (b) being from about 50%-100% of the cutting means thickness. The downstream access opening is from about 10%-80% greater than the cutting means thickness.
