ABSTRACT:
A tubing connector system particularly suitable for use with medical prostheses is disclosed. The system involves of a connector assembly and a connector assembly tool. The connector assembly is composed of a clamping ring and connector body which can be coupled together to connect two lengths of tubing. The connector assembly grips the tubing by compression, advantageously forming an outwardly flared tubing end portion that aids in retaining the tubing within the connector assembly. The connector assembly tool possesses jaws designed to receive and hold the connector assembly members in a nested relation as the tool closes, joining the connector assembly members.
