Abstract
Fluid connectors assemblies that provide neutral fluid displacement without overlapping connectors are disclosed. A fluid connector assembly may include a housing and a pair of connectors (e.g., luers) coupled with the housing. A compressible member (e.g., bellow) is located within the housing. The first connector and the second connector each include a post with an opening. The compressible member can seal off the opening of the first connector from fluid entry. However, when the post of the second connector is inserted into the housing, the post of the second connector displaces the compressible member, causing the compressible member to uncover the opening, and further causes the compressible member to open in another location and receive fluid. Further, the compressible member seals each of the first connector and the second connector and forms a fluid path through the posts and the compressible member, with the seals regulating fluid flow.
