Abstract: A multiple access fluid connector unit having two connector elements adapted for connection to a source of fluid or a fluid administration device and sealed on an opposite end. A plurality of spacially separate access ports are provided along the length of the elements, in communication with a fluid manifold that extends along the element. An outer end of each port has a removable cover to maintain the port sterile prior to use. Ports on one element are associable with ports on the other element to provide fluid flow through the unit. After association of two ports, when desirable to disconnect, the associated ports are severed from the elements and the element is resealed adjacent the cut. Two further of the sterile ports can thereafter be uncovered and used to reinstitute fluid flow through the unit.
