Abstract

See full text

A bayonet twist locking connector is disclosed for detachably securing an end of a catheter to a fluid transfer device including a flange defining a T-shaped opening for receiving the device and a fluid port extending outwardly along a central axis of the opening. The connector includes a split resilient body which defines an aperture for receiving an end of the catheter. The body being split allows the aperture to be enlarged to facilitate insertion of the catheter. The connector further includes a bayonet assembly for twist locking the connector in the opening of the fluid transfer device, and complementary wing elements radially projecting adjacent to the slit for clamping together and against a region of the fluid transfer device. So clamping the complementary wings prohibits the connector from being removed from the opening, and generates a compressive force to secure the catheter to the port of the fluid transfer device.
