Embodiment Construction

[0056] main reference figure 1 and figure 2 A fluid connector 10 constructed according to the first embodiment basically includes a housing 12 constructed from first and second housing sections 14 , 16 . Respective first and second integrally formed fluid connector ports 18 , 20 extend from first and second housing segments 14 , 16 and receive respective first and second tubular fluid connector elements 22 , 24 . Ports 18, 20 and elements 22, 24 are substantially defined into the housing to establish openings for fluid flow through the housing, as will be described further below. The first and second tubular fluid connector elements 22, 24 may include barbs 26, 28 at their outer ends for removably receiving flexible tubing, such as conventional silicone tubing (not shown). As will be described further below, the tubular fluid connector elements 22 , 24 are releasably securable to the housing segments 14 , 16 . For example, tubular fluid connector elements 22, 24 may inclu...

Abstract

A connector adapted to form a fluid tight connection includes first and second housing sections defining a fluid path. A locking element is configured to selectively lock the first and second housing sections together. A slide seal is positioned generally between the first and second housing sections and is movable between a first, blocking position in which the slide seal blocks and seals the fluid path and a second, unblocking position in which the fluid path is unblocked.

Description

[0001] Cross References to Related Applications [0002] This application claims priority to (pending) Application Serial No. 62 / 039,633, filed August 20, 2014, the disclosure of which is hereby incorporated by reference. technical field [0003] The present invention generally relates to fluid connectors and methods of forming fluid connections. More particularly, the present invention relates to connectors and methods of establishing aseptic connections, for example, in a variety of industries, including medical, biological, pharmaceutical, food industries, and others. Background technique [0004] In various industries, such as those described above, it is often necessary to make repeated fluid connections while maintaining sterility at the connection site to prevent the ingress of contaminants such as dust, dust or microorganisms at the connection site flow path. [0005] Various means of maintaining sterility in this context have been developed in the past. These inc...
