An aseptic connector comprises a first member and a second member. The first member preferably includes a resilient septum, and the second member preferably includes a penetrating member. Preferably, the septum is formed from an elastomeric material such as a silicone elastomer. The penetrating member preferably includes an extending penetrating element to penetrate the resilient septum. The aseptic connector further comprises a resilient sealing element that contacts the penetrating member and one of an inner wall of the first member and an inner wall of the second member to create a seal between the penetrating member and one of the inner wall of the first member and the inner wall of the second member. The seal created is suitable to withstand relatively high pressures (for example, those experienced during the injection of contrast media in CT procedures). A fluid delivery system comprising at least a first aseptic connector as described above is also provided.

1. A patient interface for connection to a fluid delivery system comprising a first member of an aseptic connector, the first member comprising an inner wall and a resilient septum, the patient interface comprising:a second member of the aseptic connector operable to engage the first member to create a seal, the second member comprising an inner wall and a penetrating member having an abutment shoulder, the penetrating member operable to penetrate the resilient septum of the first member; a resilient sealing element that contacts the penetrating member and one of the inner wall of the first member and the inner wall of the second member to create a seal between the penetrating member and one of the inner wall of the first member and the inner wall of the second member, the resilient sealing element comprising an elastomeric member that is compressed when the first member and the second member are brought together to form the seal between the penetrating member and one of the inner wall of the first member and the inner wall of the second member; a tubing in fluid connection with the second member; and a unidirectional flow device in fluid connection with the tubing between the second member and a patient.
