ABSTRACT:
A connector has an instrument insertion passage which is provided with a seal member made from an elastic member formed with a seal member passage having a narrowed portion. When a knob is grasped and turned clockwise to turn a control body, the control body is forced into the connector and abuts the seal member causing the seal member to deform so as to reduce the inner diameter of the narrowed portion of the seal member, thereby enabling an instrument to be held by the narrowed portion in a fluid-tight manner which allows the instrument to be slidable through the connector. Also, by turning the control body further into the connector, the deformation of the seal member can be increased to cause the narrowed portion to fix the instrument in place in a manner that prevents the instrument from being slid through the connector 1.
