  • The connector body comprises an end wall with an inner surface, and at least one sidewall extending from the end wall along the center axis and having an inner and outer surface. The inner surface of the end wall and the sidewall define or at least partly define the cavity. The cavity may be cylindrical or at least partly cylindrical with a cross section of suitable size and shape, i.e. the inner surface of the sidewall may have a cross section perpendicular to the center axis, the cross section being substantially constant along at least a part of the center axis. In one or more embodiments, cross section areas of the cavity may increase towards the distal end of the connector. The cavity may be cylindrical with a circular or non-circular (oval, polygonal or elliptical) inner surface cross-section perpendicular to the center axis.
  • The end wall comprises at least one vent opening including a first vent opening. The at least one vent opening connects or communicates the cavity with the surroundings through the end wall and a membrane covering the at least one vent opening. The at least one vent opening may include a plurality of vent openings including the first vent opening and a second vent opening formed in the end wall. Further, a third and/or fourth vent opening may be formed in the end wall. A vent opening may have any suitable size and shape. In one or more embodiments, one or more vent openings are circular, elliptical, kidney-shaped or oval, e.g. with a diameter or maximum extension less than 8 mm, such as in the range from 0.5 mm to 5 mm. In one or more embodiments, one or more vent openings may have an area in the range from 0.3 mm2 to 20 mm2. The area of the respective vent openings depends e.g. on the number of vent openings in the end wall and the available inner surface area of the end wall. In one or more embodiments with three to six vent openings, the area of each vent opening may be in the range from 0.3 mm2 to 2 mm2. In one or more embodiments, with one or two vent openings, the area of the vent openings may be in the range from 1.0 mm2 to 10 mm2.
  • The connector comprises a membrane covering the at least one vent opening including the first vent opening and other vent openings if present. The membrane is welded to an inner surface defining the cavity. The membrane may be welded to the inner surface of the end wall such that the membrane covers and seals the at least one vent opening including the first vent opening and other vent openings if present. Thus air or other gasses must pass the membrane in order to flow from the cavity to the surroundings through the at least one vent opening, e.g. in order to equalize pressure between the cavity and the surroundings. The membrane enables pressure equalization of a cavity within an infusion device through the vent opening and at the same time providing a substantially liquid tight infusion device when the infusion tube system is connected to the infusion port of the infusion device.
  • The membrane is welded to the inner surface of the end wall along at least one welding seam including a first welding seam and optionally a second welding seam. The first welding seam and/or the second welding seam may form a dosed curve. The first welding seam may surround at least the first vent opening. In one or more embodiments, the first welding seam surrounds all the vent openings in the end wall. In one or more embodiments, the second welding seam may if present form a closed curve surrounding a fluid path opening or a connector needle in the end wall.
  • The second welding seam may form a dosed curve surrounding one or more vent openings including a second vent opening in the end wall.
  • The first welding seam may form a dosed outer welding seam and the second welding seam may form a dosed inner welding seam surrounded by the outer welding seam, wherein the membrane area between the inner welding seam and the outer welding seam covers at least one vent opening, e.g. the first vent opening. In one or more embodiments, the membrane area between an inner welding seam and an outer welding seam covers all vent openings in the end wall. Welding seams may cross each other.
  • In one or more embodiments welding seam(s), e.g. the first welding seam and/or a second welding seam, forms a dosed curve surrounding one or more vent openings and wherein the connector needle or a fluid path opening in the end wall is arranged outside the dosed curve of the welding seam.
  • A welding seam may have a suitable length which at least for an outer welding seam may depend on the number and configuration of vent openings to be surrounded. In one or more embodiments, the first welding seam may have a length in the range from 4 mm to about 100 mm, such as in the range from 10 mm to 50 mm, such as about 30 mm. The welding seam must be sufficiently wide to ensure sealing of the membrane to the inner surface of the cavity. On the other hand, the width of a welding seam is limited, e.g. in order to maximize the non-welded area of the membrane. Accordingly, a welding seam, e.g. the first welding seam and/or the second welding seam may have a width in the range from 0.1 mm to 3.0 mm, such as from 0.3 mm to 2.0 mm. In one or more embodiments, a welding seam width of 0.5 mm to 1 mm may be advantageous.
  • The total welding area being the sum of welding areas for respective welding seams may be less than 95% of the common area between the membrane and the inner surface of the end wall. In one or more embodiments, the total welding area is less than 90% of the common, i.e. overlapping, area between the membrane and the inner surface of the end wall.
  • The total welding area being the sum of welding areas for respective welding seams may be less than 90% of the area of the inner surface of the end wall. In one or more embodiments, the total welding area being the sum of welding areas for respective welding seams may be less than 70%, such as less than 50% of the area of the inner surface of the end wall.
  • The membrane is made of a suitable material in order to allow air or other gasses to flow through the membrane while substantially preventing liquid, e.g. water from the surroundings, to pass the membrane. The membrane may be air-permeable and may be made of or comprise a thermoplastic polymer, such as Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE). The membrane may be a hydrophobic membrane.
  • The membrane may be attached to the inner surface of the cavity by various welding methods, preferably by ultrasonic welding.
  • The connector may comprise a hollow connector needle with a distal end attached to the connector body and extending from the inner surface of the end wall into the cavity forming a fluid path between the infusion tube and the cavity. A fluid path opening may be formed in the inner surface of the end wall forming a fluid path between the infusion tube and the cavity.
  • The connector may comprise at least one annular protrusion including a first annular protrusion on the inner surface of the end wall, the first annular protrusion surrounding at least the first opening, wherein the membrane is welded to the inner surface of the end wall along the first annular protrusion.
  • The connector may comprise a support structure extending from the end wall in a proximal direction along the center axis. The support structure may define a support cavity accommodating at least a part of the infusion tube. Typically, a part of the outer surface of the infusion tube is attached to an inner surface of the support structure defining the support cavity.
