NEUTRAL DISPLACEMENT CONNECTOR

Abstract: fluid connectors assemblies that provide neutral fluid displacement without overlapping connectors are disclosed. a fluid connector assembly may include a housing and a pair of connectors (e.g., luers) coupled with the housing. a compressible member is located within the housing. the first connector and the second connector each include a post with an opening. the compressible member can seal off the opening of the first connector from fluid entry. however, when the post of the second connector is inserted into the housing, the post of the second connector displaces the compressible member, causing the compressible member to create a fluid path, thereby allowing fluid to flow through the internal volume of the housing. further, the compressible member seals the housing until each of the first connector and the second connector are coupled therewith forming a fluid path through the posts.
