The invention relates to an automatically-closing connector. The connector has a closing piston which is rigid and non-deformable; a compression chamber is constituted around the closing piston and is defined upstream by the end wall of the housing and downstream by a peripheral sealing gasket carri

The invention relates to an automatically-closing connector. The connector has a closing piston which is rigid and non-deformable; a compression chamber is constituted around the closing piston and is defined upstream by the end wall of the housing and downstream by a peripheral sealing gasket carried by the piston; the outlet of the connector is situated downstream from this gasket and the closing piston has an internal passage with an inlet that opens out into the compression chamber and an outlet that communicates with the outlet of the connector. The connector is applicable to injection devices in the medical field.

The cardiac harness of claim 10, wherein the first and second strips are sized and configured to extend substantially around a patient's heart so that the undulations are elastically deformed and collectively exert an inwardly-directed compressive force on the heart during at least a portion of the cardiac cycle. 15. The cardiac harness of claim 14, wherein the cardiac harness is sized to exert an inwardly-directed compressive force throughout the entire cardiac cycle. 16. The cardiac harness of claim 14, wherein the undulations are arranged and configured so that they deform in a direction substantially transverse to a longitudinal axis of the heart. 17. The cardiac harness of claim 14, wherein the inwardly-directed force is generally less than about 10 mmHg.
