  • Patent number: 11491317
    Abstract: A connector assembly for connecting medical lines (3, 4) to each other comprises a first connector (1) having an insertion shaft (12), and a second connector (2) having an insertion opening (22). For connecting the first connector (1) and the second connector (2) to each other, the insertion shaft (12) of the first connector (1) is insertable along an insertion direction (I) into the insertion opening (22) of the second connector (2). For releasing the first connector (1) and the second connector (2) from each other, the insertion shaft (12) of the first connector (1) is removable from the insertion opening (22) of the second connector (2).

  • Publication number: 20210205597
    Abstract: A connector assembly for connecting medical lines (3, 4) to each other comprises a first connector (1) having an insertion shaft (12) to be inserted, along an insertion direction (I), into an insertion opening (22) of a second connector (2) for forming a fluid connection between the medical lines (3, 4), the insertion shaft (12) comprising a fluid channel (120) allowing fluid to flow in between the first connector (1) and the second connector (2). Herein, a cap element (14) is attachable to the first connector (1) for closing the fluid channel (120) towards the outside in a state in which the first connector (1) is not connected to the second connector (2), the first connector (1) having a first retention device (123) and the cap element (14) having a second retention device (143), the first retention device (123) and the second retention device (143) being configured to form a positive locking engagement in between the cap element (14) and the first connector (1) along the insertion direction (I).
