Abstract
In one aspect, fluid flow control systems, such as for medical applications, may include a resistance barrier and a flexible ring that may receive a device. The resistance barrier may exert barrier forces on the device, and the flexible ring may exert ring forces on the device, in order to create a fluid tight seal.
