Patent number: 11844922Abstract: An aseptic connector includes first and second matable housings each comprising a plurality of connectors for fluid conduits. The fluid conduits enter the housings and may be force-fitted onto barbs or flanges on one side of the connectors, or may instead be molded directly onto the connectors. When the housings are joined, the opposite sides of the connectors mate to form fluid seals, thereby establishing fluid pathways between now-connected sets of tubes.Type: GrantFiled: March 17, 2022Date of Patent: December 19, 2023Assignee: SUNFLOWER THERAPEUTICS, PBCInventors: Alexandra Bonnyman, Kerry R. Love, Larry Weiner, John Christopher Love, Espir Kahatt, Ziad Al-Shamsie, Ben Reisman, Alex Goldblatt
