<p>A self-sealing, sterile connector assembly for use in a surgical drainage system includes releasably cooperable plug and socket parts (3, 4), the plug part (3) incorporating a slidable sleeve valve (3d), and the socket (4) incorporating a normally closed disc valve (5). Both valves are actuated, i.e. opened and closed respectively, by the relative plugging and unplugging movement between the plung and socket parts. The plug and socket parts (3, 4), and the valves (3d, 5), are so configured that, during unplugging movement between the parts (3, 4), the valves (3d, 5) close in a manner which avoids the formation of any voids therebetween capable of accommodating sufficient liquid to form drips.</p> |
