A connector for medical tubing comprises two interengaging parts (1, 12).

A connector for medical tubing comprises two interengaging parts (1, 12). As one part is rotated relative to the other, screw-threads cause a tapered projection (13) to mate with a flared bore (6) to provide a fluid-tight seal. Further relative rotation causes the outer bevelled edge of the outer wall (16) of one of the parts to move further forward to sealingly engage the sloping wall (10) of the other part. The projection (13) and outer wall (16) are connected by a flexible membrane 19 to permit this further forward movement. The connector is particularly suited for use in continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis.

A connector for medical tubing comprising (a) a first part which has means for releasably connecting the first part to a second part of the connector and which has a central projection having a flared axial bore and a contact zone around the base of the central projection, and (b) a second part which has means which are engagable with the connecting means on the first part for releasably connecting the first and second parts, a tapered axial projection which fits inside the flared bore of the first part to provide a fluid-tight seal when the parts are interconnected and an outer wall which surrounds the tapered projection and which is connected to the tapered projection by a flexible membrane which allows relative axial movement between the outer wall and the tapered projection, when the tapered projection of the second part is in sealing contact with the flared bore of the first part, from a position in which the forwardmost end of the outer wall of the second part is spaced from the contact zone to a position in which the forwardmost end of the outer wall of the second part is in sealing contact with the contact zone.
