A medical valve includes a housing having an interior forming an inlet and an outlet. A longitudinally movable member is secured within the interior of the housing. External to the movable member and within the interior is a fluid path. Movement of the movable member controls fluid flow between the inlet and the outlet via the fluid path. The outlet produces no greater than a negligible drawback or positive push during withdrawal of a nozzle.

1. A medical connector comprising: a valve housing defining an inlet and an outlet, the valve housing further including a fluid path from the inlet to the outlet;a moveable member sealing the inlet when the medical connector is in an unactuated state, thereby preventing fluid flow through the connector; anda diaphragm separating the moveable member from an inner volume in the valve housing, the diaphragm sealing the inner volume,wherein upon actuation of the connector, the moveable member deforms the diaphragm into the inner volume thereby unsealing the inlet port and opening the fluid path through the connector, the moveable member configured to change shapes as it moves distally within the valve housing. 2. The medical connector according to claim 1, wherein the valve housing includes a proximal housing portion and a distal housing portion. 3. The medical connector according to claim 1, further comprising an insert defining the inner volume. 4. The medical connector according to claim 1, wherein the moveable member includes a seal member, the seal member contacting an inner wall of the housing as the connector transitions from the unactuated state to an actuated state. 5. The medical connector according to claim 1, wherein the housing has at least one groove on an inner surface of the housing, the groove forming at least part of the fluid path through the connector. 6. A connector according to claim 5, wherein the housing includes a luer insert, the grooves being located in the luer insert. 7. A connector according to claim 1, wherein a top end of the moveable member is swabbable. 8. A connector according to claim 1, wherein the moveable member is a plug. 9. A connector according to claim 1, wherein them moveable member is a post. 10. A method of operating a medical connector comprising: actuating the connector by depressing a moveable member in the connector by inserting a luer into an inlet of the connector, depressing the moveable member opening a fluid path through the connector and causing the moveable member to change shapes as it moves distally within the housing;deforming a diaphragm under pressure from the moveable member, the diaphragm at least partially defining an inner volume within a housing of the connector, the diaphragm also sealing the inner volume; andclosing the connector by removing the luer from the inlet, removal of the luer causing the moveable member to reseal the connector and the diaphragm to return to an undeformed state. 11. The method according to claim 10, wherein the housing includes a proximal housing portion and a distal housing portion. 12. The method according to claim 10, further comprising an insert defining the inner volume. 13. The method according to claim 10, wherein the moveable member includes a seal member, the seal member contacting an inner wall of the housing as the connector transitions from the unactuated state to an actuated state. 14. The method according to claim 10, wherein the housing has at least one groove on an inner surface of the housing, the groove forming at least part of the fluid path through the connector. 15. A method according to claim 14, wherein the housing includes a luer insert, the grooves being located in the luer insert. 16. A method according to claim 10, wherein a top end of the moveable member is swabbable. 17. A connector according to claim 10, wherein the moveable member is a plug. 18. A connector according to claim 10, wherein them moveable member is a post. 19. A medical valve comprising: a housing having an interior forming an inlet and an outlet, the inlet and outlet being longitudinally aligned with one another;a fluid path within the interior;a longitudinally movable member secured within the interior of the housing, the fluid path being external to the movable member, movement of the movable member controlling fluid flow between the inlet and the outlet via the fluid path, wherein the moveable member is configured to change shapes as it moves distally within the housing; anda resilient member biasing the longitudinally moveable member proximally within the housing. 20. A medical valve according to claim 19, wherein the moveable member deforms as it moves distally within the housing. 21. A medical valve according to claim 19, wherein the resilient member is a diaphragm, the diaphragm biasing the longitudinally moveable member proximally within the housing. 22. A medical valve according to claim 21, wherein the housing defines a central cavity distal to the moveable member, the moveable member entering the central cavity as it moves distally within the housing. 23. A medical valve according to claim 22, wherein the diaphragm prevents fluid from entering the central cavity. 24. A medical valve according to claim 22, wherein the fluid path extends around the moveable member and the central cavity.
