Abstract
A connector, for example a Luer connector, has a sealing element such that when a connection is made to the connector, the sealing element is displaced into the connector, opening a fluid flow channel through the connector. The sealing member may include a slit on a lower surface thereof to ease the displacement of the sealing member.
