ABSTRACT:
Needleless access port valves are generally discussed herein with particular discussions extended to needleless access port valves comprising a stretched body. In one aspect of the present invention, a plug is positioned inside a slip port. When the plug is pushed by a medical implement and moves to a second position, the plug abuts the valve body and stretches the valve body. When the medical implement is subsequently removed, the stretched body forces the plug back to its first position.
