Abstract

The tubular connector (1), for packs containing medical fluids, holds a spike to extract the fluid, together with upper and lower openings (1a,1b). The upper opening is closed by a snap-off section (16). The connector contains a self-sealing membrane (10), penetrated by the spike to extract the fluid. The self-sealing membrane has an upper ring section (12), which transits into a recessed trough section (13) with a flat plate (14). As the spike penetrates through the membrane plate, the ring section forms a sealing shroud around it.
