  • Publication number: 20210129152
    Abstract: A connector for flexible tubing comprises a first hollow insert for allowing fluid flow, having a proximal end configured to fit inside the tubing, a first outer part, a joining member rigidly connecting the first insert to the outer part at a region spaced from the proximal end of the first insert and a generally annular gap between the first insert and the first outer part, which forms a tubing accepting opening at or adjacent the proximal end of the insert, the first outer part further comprising plural resilient protrusions extending into the gap, allowing the tubing to be inserted, but resisting removal of the tubing once inserted and wherein at least the insert, the joining member and the outer part are formed as a single integral molding.
