The first valve and the second valve are in the compressed state when the first connector is coupled to the second connector such that a fluid pathway is formed through the first connector and the second connector.
F16L 37/35 - Accouplements du type à action rapide avec moyens pour couper l'écoulement du fluide avec un obturateur dans chaque extrémité de tuyau avec deux clapets dont l'un au moins est ouvert automatiquement au moment de l'accouplement au moins un des clapets possédant un canal axial communiquant avec des ouvertures latérales
A61M 39/26 - Soupapes se fermant automatiquement après déconnexion et s'ouvrant lors de la reconnexion
A coupler including a first connector having a mating portion with a first opening, and a first torsion member disposed within the mating portion with a first channel. The first torsion member being rotatable relative to the mating portion. The coupler including a second connector having a second torsion member with a second channel, and a coupling portion having a second opening and at least partially disposed within the second torsion member. The second torsion member configured to couple to the first torsion member to couple the first connector to the second connector such that rotation of the second torsion member causes rotation of the first torsion member to cause alignment of the first channel, the first opening, the second channel, and the second opening to form a fluid pathway. The first connector is configured to decouple from the second connector in response to a force exceeding a threshold force.
F16L 37/367 - Accouplements du type à action rapide avec moyens pour couper l'écoulement du fluide avec un obturateur dans chaque extrémité de tuyau avec deux vannes à plaque ou tiroirs
F16L 37/252 - Accouplements du type à action rapide dans lesquels l'assemblage est réalisé par insertion selon l'axe d'un organe dans l'autre organe et en le faisant tourner d'une amplitude limitée, p. ex. comme dans un raccord à baïonnette dans lesquels l'accouplement et le tuyau sont coaxiaux la partie mâle étant munie sur son pourtour de tenons qui pénètrent dans des encoches correspondantes aménagées dans la partie femelle
A coupler including a first connector having a first outer piece with a first channel extending longitudinally within the first outer piece, a first inner piece disposed at least partially within the first outer piece such that the first channel is disposed within the first inner piece, and a first seal disposed within the first inner piece such that the first seal is at least partially disposed between the first channel and the first inner piece. The first inner piece configured to axially move relative to the first outer piece to transition from a retracted position to a partially extended position. The first channel including a first occlusion hole forming a first fluid pathway through the first connector when the first inner piece is in the retracted position. In the extended position the first occlusion hole is blocked by the first seal resulting in the first fluid pathway being blocked.
Medical tube can have a continuous inner layer having a continuous outer layer thereon, in which the inner layer includes a polyolefin such as a polyethylene or polypropylene or a functionalized polyolefin. The outer layer can include a thermoplastic polymer such as one or more of, or a blend including, a thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU), a thermoplastic olefin (TPO), a thermoplastic elastomer (TPE), a styrene-containing thermoplastic elastomer (S-TPE), a polyolefin elastomer (POE), a styrenic blocking copolymer (SBC). Advantageously, the outer layer and/or the inner layer do not include polyvinyl chloride. Such tubing can be readily solvent bonded to medical connectors and used with infusion sets.
