ABSTRACT:
A universal connector is described, being capable of both connection with female luer connectors and penetration of resealable-diaphragm connection sites. The connector comprises a tubular member defining a first tubular section having a distal end capable of resealably penetrating a latex resealable-diaphragm injection site. Aperture means are provided adjacent the distal end of the tubular member for communication with the lumen of the tubular member with the exterior. The tubular member also defines a frustoconical male luer section positioned proximally of the first tubular section and proportioned to be sealable with female luer connectors. The male luer section has a minimum diameter that is greater than the maximum diameter of the first tubular section. Annular step means are provided separating the first tubular section and male luer section, and means are provided, spaced proximally of the frustoconical male luer section, for providing connection with a fluid conduit.
