A self-sealing male Luer connector for connection with a female Luer conector. The male Luer connector includes a housing having a distally-projecting tubular male body and a surrounding cuff interconnected by a proximal wall in which is formed at least one activation opening. A valve plug is slidably installed within the housing and formed with a distal end configured to sealingly engage the distal end of the male body's interior flow passage and with at least one activation arm at its proximal end configured to extend through the activation opening into the cavity formed between the body and the cuff. An elastomeric device is sealingly configured within the activation opening about the activation arm to secure the valve plug in position and bias it distally. The proximal end of the male Luer connector may be configured as a conventional female connector, a blood collection device, or other such device.

L'invention concerne un connecteur Luer mâle auto-obturant s'assemblant à un connecteur Luer femelle. Le connecteur Luer mâle comprend un corps mâle tubulaire s'étendant de manière distale et un manchon qui l'entoure, reliés par une paroi proximale dans laquelle est formée au moins une ouverture d'activation. Un bouchon installé coulissant dans le corps comporte une extrémité distale conçue pour entrer en contact hermétique avec l'extrémité distale du passage intérieur du corps mâle ; et au moins un bras d'activation prévu à son extrémité proximale, conçu pour traverser l'ouverture d'activation et pénétrer dans la cavité formée entre le corps mâle et le manchon. Un dispositif élastomère, conçu pour boucher hermétiquement l'ouverture d'activation autour du bras d'activation, permet de fixer le bouchon en position et de le solliciter de manière distale. L'extrémité proximale du connecteur Luer mâle peut être conçue comme un connecteur Luer femelle classique, un dispositif de prélèvement sanguin ou un autre dispositif.
