1. A catheter for providing fluid access to a site within a human body, the catheter comprising: a proximal end, a distal end, and a first lumen extending therebetween, a housing including a housing lumen in fluid communication with the first lumen, and a valve membrane extending across the housing lumen, the valve member having a short axis and a long axis, the valve membrane comprising:a first slit and a second slit disposed about a long axis of the valve membrane and a third slit disposed between the first slit and the second slit, wherein the third slit extends in a substantially similar direction as the first slit and the second slit, wherein the first slit and the second slit both traverse the short axis, wherein the first, second, and third slits do not traverse the long axis, and wherein the short axis bisects the long axis. 2. The catheter of claim 1, wherein the first slit and the second slit both open when acted upon by a pressure of at least a predetermined threshold. 3. The catheter of claim 1, wherein the third slit opens when acted upon by a pressure of at least a predetermined threshold. 4. The catheter of claim 3, wherein the first slit and the second slit open independently from the third slit. 5. The catheter of claim 1, wherein the first slit and the second slit are curved. 6. The catheter of claim 1, wherein the first slit and the second slit are non-linear. 7. The catheter of claim 1, wherein the first slit and the second slit are parallel to one another. 8. The catheter of claim 1, wherein the first slit and the second slit are parallel to the long axis. 9. The catheter of claim 1, wherein the third slit is curved. 10. The catheter of claim 1, wherein the first slit and the second slit are normal to the short axis. 11. A catheter for providing fluid access to a site within a human body, the catheter comprising: a proximal end, a distal end, and a first lumen extending therebetween, a housing including a housing lumen in fluid communication with the first lumen, and a valve membrane extending across the housing lumen, the valve member having a short axis and a long axis, the valve membrane comprising:a plurality of slits disposed about the long axis of the valve membrane and at least one additional slit disposed between at least two of the plurality of slits, wherein the at least one additional slit extends in a substantially similar direction as the plurality of slits, wherein each of the plurality of slits and the additional slit traverse the short axis, wherein the plurality of slits and the at least one additional slit do not traverse the long axis, and wherein the short axis bisects the long axis. 12. The catheter of claim 11, wherein the plurality of slits are curved. 13. The catheter of claim 11, wherein the plurality of slits are non-linear. 14. The catheter of claim 11, wherein the plurality of slits are parallel to one another. 15. The catheter of claim 11, wherein the plurality of slits are parallel to the long axis. 16. The catheter of claim 11, wherein at least one of the plurality of slits is curved. 17. The catheter of claim 11, wherein the plurality of slits are normal to the short axis.
