ABSTRACT:
A simplified aseptic connector assembly for tubes or conduits to conduct sterile fluids and comprising interconnectable complementary male and female connector members respectively connectable to the ends of tube sections to be connected, one of the members having a socket open at one end and dimensioned to slidably receive the other member which also has an axial socket open at the outer end which is adapted to be received in the socket of the one member, the axial socket in the other member being tapered and complementary in shape to a tubular prong extending axially within the socket of the one member for frictional reception within the tapered socket of the other member and the prong having a piercing tip terminating short of the open face of the open end of one member, each of the open ends of the sockets of the members initially being sealed by membranes to maintain the interiors of the sockets in aseptic condition; the sealed ends of the connector members being adapted to be dipped in a disinfecting solution and then abutted firmly to maintain sterility, followed by telescopically inserting the other member into the socket of the one member initially to cause the piercing prong to pierce both membranes and then establish the prong in firm fricitonal engagement within the tapered socket in the other member to establish a passage between tubes connected by the connector members.
