An assembly for attachment to a gastrostomy feeding tube is provided. The assembly comprises a valve connector and an anchor. The valve connector comprises a housing, a conduit traversing the housing from an inlet to an outlet; and a retaining element extending outwardly from the housing. The anchor comprises an anchor housing configured to receive a portion of the valve connector. The anchor housing has a gastrostomy feeding tube attachment feature for attaching the anchor to the feeding tube, and a valve connector retaining feature that defines a retaining space, wherein the retaining space receives the retaining element of the valve connector and is sized to enable rotation of the retaining element and the valve connector relative to the anchor such that the conduit of the valve connector maintains fluid connection with the gastrostomy feeding tube during rotation. Additional assemblies and systems are also provided for other medical devices.

Port closure systems and ways of using such systems are provided that include a port, a valve, and a keyway. The port establishes communication between an exterior environment and an interior volume that can receive a fluent substance. A first conduit leading to the exterior environment and a second conduit leading to the interior volume are defined by the port, where the first conduit and the second conduit follow an axis. The valve includes a flexible, resilient head extending across the port between the first conduit and the second conduit. The keyway is formed in the first conduit and defines a channel extending along the axis. The system can include a valve connector having a stem configured to be received within the port, where the stem can extend through the first conduit, the valve, and into the second conduit. The stem includes a key receivable by the keyway.
