Patent number: 10806679Abstract: Adapters for a connector assembly for percutaneous tubing are provided. A male adapter (FIG. 22a, 1000) includes a connector fitting (1002) proximate a first end, the connector fitting configured to join to a connector for a tubing system or device, and a male connector (656) proximate a second end. The male connector includes a plug end with a fluid lumen defined therethrough, the plug end having a circumferential groove defined therein to receive a locking extension of a female connector sized to be received within the circumferential groove of the plug end to allow the female connector to rotate relative to and maintain axial engagement with the male connector when the locking extension is received within the groove. An adapter having a female connector (FIG. 24, 1300) is also provided.Type: GrantFiled: July 10, 2015Date of Patent: October 20, 2020Assignee: AbbVie Inc.Inventors: Kellan William Babbs, Nolan Harrington Baird, III, Antonio Juan Belton, Sean Joel Corrigan, Charles Michael Galitz, Thomas Paul Grazier, Daniel Joseph Greene, Keith Aaron Grider, Thomas Joseph Huemann, Wayne Phillip Klingler, Michael Honsing Lau, Tomas Andrius Matusaitis
