Abstract
A tube connector usable with medical tube lines includes a body having a first end, a second end, a first mating section, and a second mating section. The first mating section is configured for insertion into a first tube end of a first medical tube line. The second mating section is configured for mating with a second tube end of a second medical tube line. A connecting lumen extends through the body between the first end and second end. The connecting lumen forms a fluid connection between the first medical tube line and second medical tube line when the first mating section mates with the first tube end and the second mating section mates with the second tube end. The body has at least one blade section and a cutting edge. The first tube end is slitable by the cutting edge upon insertion of the first mating section.
