A source () of pressurized fluid can be fed into the chamber () through a port () in the housing (). A catheter, dilator, pusher or other elongate insert fed through the haemostatic valve assembly () can be sealed by the application of fluid pressure into the chamber (), which causes the sides of the valve element () to press against the insert () thereby to provide an effective seal.
