Abstract
A resealable device for providing repeated access to the lumen of a fluid transmitting conduit including a puncturable elastomeric member maintained in radial compression and limited longitudinal expansion about the conduit to reseal punctures in the elastomeric member and provide a compression seal between the elastomeric member and the conduit. Advantageously, the elastomeric member is held in a state of radial compression and limited longitudinal expansion by a rigid windowed jacket having fixed transverse stops. Moreover, the jacket is formed of a material which is substantially impenetrable to needles or cannulae in normal usage.
