ABSTRACT:
Connector and method for joining two conduits together in a sterile manner permitting aseptic fluid transfer between axially extending passageways in the conduits. End caps fabricated of a material which melts and flows at a sterilizing temperature are connected to the terminal ends of the conduits and brought together within an outer sleeve. Heat is applied to the sleeve to melt the plastic material and cause it to flow out of the region between the passageways, thereby providing communication between the passageways and conding the conduits together in a sterile manner.
