  • Publication number: 20070218757
    Abstract: A valve connector for medical infusion lines including an external tubular body with an inlet end and an outlet end, an internal hollow spike and an intermediate sealing member including a head with pre-slit and an elastic hollow element formed with fluid-tight members in contact with the hollow spike and with an elastic thrust means, which tends to maintain the elastic head in a closed condition. The elastic thrust means comprises a base part joined to the elastic hollow element of the sealing member through a generally transverse annular wall, which, during axial displacement of the elastic head from the closed condition to the open condition, bends within an annular chamber defined between the base part and a portion with conical surface of the hollow spike.

  • Patent number: 7247153
    Abstract: Cannula with protection cap for medical infusion lines and the like, comprising a hollow body provided at one end with a female luer lock connector and at the other end with an axial tubular ferrule. The hollow body and the protection cap are provided with respective formations for mutual torsional coupling acting in the direction of rotation corresponding to the unscrewing of the female luer lock connector relative to a male luer lock connector of the medical line.

  • Publication number: 20070043334
    Abstract: A medical valve connector comprising a tubular body having an inlet fitting of the male luer or luer-lock type with an inner tubular element displaceable axially from a retracted position for closing a passage of flow towards an outlet fitting to an advanced position for opening said passage of flow. A tubular body made of elastic material, set between the inlet and outlet fittings, tends to keep the inner tubular element in the retracted position. Also the outlet fitting can rotate and axially translate between a retracted position and an advanced position.

  • Patent number: 6843513
    Abstract: A male luer lock connector for medical fluid lines comprising an elongated tubular body having an end portion with external luer cone and an internally threaded bushing mounted so that it can turn and slide on a portion with a cylindrical external surface of the tubular body. Cooperating formations disposed between the portion with cylindrical external surface of the tubular body and the bushing are provided to produce during use a perceptible click when the bushing draws near to a fully advanced position of engagement with a female luer lock connector.
