ABSTRACT:
A connector assembly for sterile connection of two internally sterile containers or tubings comprises two connectors (3, 4). The first connector (3) has a male part (5) inside a housing (6), a connecting device to connect the first connector to a first container or tubing (1), a first deformable barrier (7) spaced from the male part (5) and a chamber (8) between the male part (5) and the first barrier (7). The second connector (4) comprises a female part (9), a connecting device to connect the second connector to a second container or tubing (2) and a second deformable barrier (11) closing the female part (9). In connecting the connectors (3, 4) first both deformable barriers (7, 11) are brought into contact with each other after which the male part (5) of the first connector (3) is put through the second barrier (11) closing the female part (9) of the second connector (4). To guarantee that during each coupling and disconnecting procedure the absolute sterility of the interior of the female part is maintained, the second barrier (11) is mounted in the entrance part of the female part (9) and is pushed entirely through the first barrier (7) during the connection of the connectors (3, 4) into the chamber (8) between the male part (5) and the first barrier (7) before the male part (5) can penetrate the second barrier (11). Further at least the second barrier (11) consists of a resilient material which during the disconnecting procedure of the connectors will be restored in the chamber (8) into the original closing position.
