Abstract: A closure for a valve (128) of a connector (100) of a haemostatic valve assembly with a longitudinally extending main section (114) having a longitudinally extending, through-going passage (110; 112) with the valve (128) at a proximal end of the connector. The closure comprises a closure member (130), a face (156) of which abuts a proximal end surface (152) of the main section (114), one of said face and end surface (152; 156) being provided with a protrusion (158) for engaging a corresponding indentation (154) provided in the other one of said face and said end surface (152; 156), so as to provide a liquid tight seal near an outer periphery of the passage (110; 112) at a proximal end thereof.

Abstract: A closure for a valve (128) of a connector (100) of a haemostatic valve assembly comprises a resilient closure member (130), which defines a first and a second, opposite end surface (156; 160) and at least one passage slit (164). The passage slit is normally closed and extends between the two end surfaces, the passage slit being arranged to open by a tubular member (134) being extended therethrough, the passage slit (164) having a wider extent at the first surface than at the second surface. A plurality of such passage slits (164) may define a first, common point of contact (166) on the first surface (156) and may extend radially outwardly from the point of contact (166) at the first surface (156).
