Abstract
A fluid connector is provided that allows for the simultaneous sealing of multiple tubes within a single outer shell when an external radial compressive force is applied.
Claims28
A connector, the connector comprising:
- a shell and a means for applying an external compressive radial force by a swaging operation;
- at least two lumens;
- and
- a sealant having a cold flow property such that, in use, when an external compressive radial force is generated by the swaging operation, the force is transferred between the shell and the lumens to form a resealable seal by cold flow of the sealant.

A connector, the connector comprising:
- a shell and a means for applying an external compressive radial force by a swaging operation;
- a plurality of tubular channels, wherein each tubular channel is in communication with a fluid path;
- and
- a sealant having a cold flow property such that, in use, when an external compressive radial force is generated by the swaging operation, the force is transferred between the shell and the tubular channels to form a resealable seal by cold flow of the sealant, whereby the plurality of fluid paths are joined by the connector to form a single fluid path.
