ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to a connector member for connecting adjacent portions of a medial tube to allow easy disengagement of the adjacent portions, when required. The connector has a hollow body with a central opening which allows to fit the connector over a portion of the medical tube and frictionally engage that portion. A pair of opposite gripping wings are carried by an exterior surface of the connector body, the gripping wings extending perpendicularly to the exterior surface. When disengaging the adjacent portions of the tube, a torque is applied to the gripping members and transmitted to the engaged portion of the medical tube until the adjacent portions are separated.
