The main body (1) has an end (7) provided with a transverse wall (8) for closing said axial bore (5, 6), said end being traversed by a thin axial slot (9). A thin membrane (10), which can be broken by external axial pressure and is automatically resealable when said axial pressure ceases, maintains said axial slot (9) normally closed. The connector (100) is provided with an external collar (11) having an end piece (12) with an external thread (13), onto which a Luer fitting of a syringe or other device can be threaded, said external collar (11) being provided with at least one radial fin (14) projecting outwards.Figure for the abridged version: Fig. 1.
