Abstract: Some embodiments are directed to a medical device for fluidly connecting to a medical spike, including a spike port configured to receive therein the medical spike and establish fluid communication between the medical spike and the medical device. The spike-locking mechanism can be configured to resist extraction of the medical spike from the spike port.

Abstract: Disclosed is a septum holder for use in a connector section of a fluid transfer apparatus for the transfer of a drug from one container to another. The septum holder comprises a body part and a septum support that are moveable in relation to each other. A septum is attached to the septum support. The body part and septum support are configured to be locked to each other at the end of a movement that brings them to their closest positions to each other.

Abstract: An apparatus for securing a male-female connection comprises: (a) a female connector comprising a securing actuator section; (b) a male connector; (c) one or more anchoring ledges; and (d) at least one rotatable gear.

Abstract: Some embodiments are directed to a connector for connection with a fluid transfer device, including an outer body having a longitudinal axis; and a luer lock connection port positioned within the outer body and configured to be coupled with an external port of said fluid transfer device. The luer lock connection port can be rotatable about the longitudinal axis at least in one of a clockwise direction and a counter-clockwise direction at least prior to initiation of coupling thereof with the external port. The outer body can be structured, and the luer lock connection port is positioned therewithin, such that to prevent an operator to access, through the outer body, directly by fingertips an exterior of the luer lock connection port after the luer lock connection port has been coupled with the external port.
