  • Sealing Valve Assembly for Medical Products
    Publication number: 20070255257
    Abstract: A sealing valve assembly is provided for medical products. The valve assembly includes a valve member mountable within a passageway of a medical product body element, the valve member defining a peripheral portion spaced from a central axis and including two walls extending from the peripheral portion toward the central axis. The walls include ends that contact each other to preclude flow through the passageway. The valve member may be formed of a material having a durometer of less than about 20 Shore A. The valve member may also have a higher durometer material with other wall configurations, or may have a wall member having a varying durometer.

    Patent number: 6767340
    Abstract: A sealing valve assembly is provided for medical products. The valve assembly includes a valve member mountable within a passageway of a medical product body element, the valve member defining a peripheral portion spaced from a central axis and including two walls extending from the peripheral portion toward the central axis, the walls including ends that contact each other to preclude flow through the passageway toward the second end. The valve member further includes at least one stiffening member extending from at least one of the walls to urge the valve member toward the closed position when disposed in the medical product.
