ABSTRACT:
An adaptive connector assembly for engaging a catheter or the like comprises a pair of segments adapted for telescoping engagement with one another so as to develop a centrally disposed cavity for receiving a plug formed of a compressible material. An end of one of the segments has an opening which communicates with the cavity and which is adapted to receive the catheter therein. The plug also has a centrally disposed channel for receiving the catheter from the opening. A snap-fit engagement is developed between the telescoping segments so that when the telescoping segments are engaged, the plug is placed in compression, constricting the channel about the catheter and thereby engaging the catheter within the adaptive connector assembly.
