A retainer for a fluid connection assembly, comprising:
- a cylindrical portion including:
- a first end;
- a second end;
- a radially inward facing surface;
- and
- a radially outward facing surface;
- and
- a plurality of arm portions separated by circumferential spaces, each arm portion of the plurality of arm portions including:
- a first member including a proximal end pivotably connected to the second end, the first member extending radially outward from the second end in a first axial direction at a first acute angle;
- and
- a second member pivotably connected to a distal end of the first member, the second member arranged at a second acute angle with respect to the first member, the second acute angle being greater than the first acute angle.
A retainer for a fluid connection assembly, comprising:
- a cylindrical portion including:
- a first end;
- a second end;
- a radially inward facing surface;
- and
- a radially outward facing surface;
- and
- at least one arm portion, including:
- a first member including a proximal end pivotably connected to the second end;
- a second member pivotably connected to a distal end of the first member;
- and
- at least one third member extending radially outward from the first end.
A fluid connection assembly, comprising:
- a connector body including a groove;
- and
- a retainer, including:
- a cylindrical portion comprising:
- a first end;
- a second end;
- a radially inward facing surface;
- and
- a radially outward facing surface;
- and
- at least one arm portion, comprising:
- a first member pivotably connected to the second end, the first member forming a frusto-conical surface;
- and
- a second member pivotably connected to the first member and operatively arranged to engage the groove to connect the retainer to the connector body.
