Embodiment Construction
[0050] With reference to the attached figures, certain embodiments and examples of soft-grip medical connectors will now be described. Although certain embodiments and examples of a soft-grip connector are shown and described as including positive-flow valves, certain aspects and advantages of the systems and methods described herein can be advantageously applied to numerous other fluid connector designs including those without positive-flow characteristics.
[0051] Referring now to FIG. 1, the illustrated embodiment of a medical connector 10 comprises a substantially rigid housing 12 with a flexible member 80 that has been stretched over the outer surface of the housing 12 to provide a soft, grippable outer surface 22. A slit opening 100 is formed at an upstream end 16 of the flexible member 80. The upstream end of the flexible member 80 surrounding the housing 12 provides a surface that is easily cleaned, and is substantially free from cavities or recesses in which contaminants may...
